Kimbrell 1839-1920 "Nelson L. Kimbrell, one of Cass County's highly esteemed citizens, died at his home on West Mechanic Street in Harrisonville, on Friday afternoon, July 23, 1920. Mr. Kimbrell had been a great sufferer for several months past, and his death was not altogether unexpected by his family and many friends. Nelson L. Kimbrell was born in Johnson County, Indiana, on May 31, 1839, and was at the time of his death, 81 years, 1 month and 22 days of age. He was the second son and fourth child of Benjamin E. and Katie Kimbrell. We do not know just what year he came to Missouri but he was engaged in farming, until a few years ago, when he retired from farming and moved to Harrisonville, where he made his home until his death. On May 12, 1864, he was married to Hannah Davis in Meredosia, Morgan County, Illinois, and to this union SEVEN children were born--three sons and four daughters--as follows: William L. Kimbrell of Pleasant Hill, Mo; Benjamin E. Kimbrell of Freewater, Oregon; Mrs. Charles C. (Joah) Colville of Coleman, Mo. and Mrs. Gertrude Denny and Miss Dora Kimbrell, who were at the home of their parents. Katie E. and John Kimbrell preceded their father in death. Besides the living children, he is survived by his aged and faithful companion in life, two sisters, Mrs. John Davis and Mrs. Fannie Davis, of Purdon, Texas, 22 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends who sincerely mourn their loss. In December, 1891, he united with the Little Flock Primitive Baptist Church and was baptized by Elder W. R. Storms. He was ordained as a Deacon of that church in 1910 and filled that office to the satisfaction of the church, his faith in Jesus always being manifests by a humble, meek and lowly spirit, endearing himself to the church and to his friends. Funeral services were held at the family home in Harrisonville, on Sunday, July 25, at 2:30 o'clock p. m. and were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. W. L Hall, of Blue Springs, Mo. The large crowd that was in attendance attested the high esteem in which he was held by his neighbors and friends. His body was taken to the Wills Cemetery, near Peculiar, this county, where it was laid away under a bower of flowers, to await a Better Day, when there will be no parting--By his Pastor, W. L. Hall, Blue Springs. Mo."
