Notes

F. G. Kimbrough, merchant at Dutch Mills, was born in Jefferson County,

Tenn., November 5, 1842, and grew to manhood on the farm. November, 1861,

he enlisted in Company H, First Tennessee Cavalry, Confederate Army, and

served three and a half years. He participated in the battle of Bean Station,

and was twelve months around Petersburg and Richmond. At the former place

100 of his regiment attempted to take their lost picket line against a brigade.

Mr. Ki!µbrough surrendered at Appomattox, and passed through the war without

being wounded or taken prisoner. He then returned to Tennessee, farmed

until 1867, and then removed to Washington County, Ark., where hemade money,

and educated himself at Cane Hill College. In 1874he married Miss M. E. Whitaker,

who bore him one child, Elizabeth A. The following year his wife died,

and in 1876 he married Miss Henrietta Baxter, who bore him five children:

Daisy, Wilson W., James R. G., 'l'homas D. and Baxter. Mr. Kimbrough and

wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, as was also the first wife.

In 1878 Mr. Kimbrough began merchandising with V. S. English, and another

who withdrew in 1884; this he still continues, and in connection is engaged in

farming, being the owner of about 230 acres of land. His father, Thomas Kimbrough,

was born in Jefferson County, Tenn., as was also his mother, Elizabeth

(Austell) Kimbrough. The father was a Democrat in politics; was a farmer all

his life, and died in 18S6 at the age of eighty-one years. The mother died in

1874 at the age of sixty-four, and both parents were members of the Missionary

Baptist Church. In 1869 F. G. Kimbrough started out in life $150 in debt;

which, by industry and economy, he soon paid off, and to-day is in very comfortable

circumstances.
