General Notes: Husband - John Kimpel

---

He was born in Germany, learned the trade of wheelwright, and married. Coming to America in 1853, in a sailing vessel, he landed at New York City, proceeding thence by canal to western Pennsylvania, to Leechburg, Armstrong County. He located first on a farm near Kelly Station, where he lived for four years, and then bought a place of 135 acres later occupied by his son Franklin. He built the house and made many other improvements during his lifetime, the barn and the other substantial buildings were put up by his son. He also embarked in the mercantile business, selling through the country from a wagon for a number of years, and in 1872 he went to Kittanning, where he had a store for five years. He died at the age of seventy-six, and his wife lived to the age of eighty. In religious belief he was a Lutheran, in politics a Democrat.
