Mr. Kingman occupied a conspicuous place in the administration of the municipal government. Few men lived longer or led a more active and enterprising life than he. We find his name on nearly every page of the records of the old town of Bridgewater previous to its division. He was selectman of that town at the time of the incor- poration of the town of North Bridgewater, and was active in that movement. For a number of years he represented the town in the Legislature of Massachusetts, and for two years occupied a seat in the State Senate from Plymouth County ; was a justice of the peace for a long time, also captain in the militia, beside other pub- lic offices. He possessed a strong, clear, discriminating mind ; a man of sound judgment, indomitable energy, and a steadiness of purpose before which every obstacle thrown in his path van- ished ; a firin, consistent member of the Church of Christ, of warm and generous temperament, fair and upright in all his dealings, kind and affectionate to all, and where best known was the most hon- ored and respected, and was one of the most useful citizens of the town.
