HISTORY OF TROY.
EDWARD P. KIMBALL is the son of Col. Retyre Kimball of Hillsborough, where he was born Feb. 23, 1820. His mother was Mary Bell of Tewksbury, Mass. His father died Dec. 10, 1830, and at the age of eleven vears he was left dependent upon himself to earn his living, which he did doing chores and clerking in stores for different persons. Later he became apprenticed to Benjamin F. Grosvenor, a hatter, and came to Troy in 1836, when a little more than sixteen years of age, and worked at hat making and as salesman until 1841, when he went into business for himself in the shop formerly occupied by Grosvenor, which stood near what is now the stable of C. W. Brown's heirs. The following year he commenced the grocery business. In 1844, he opened a livery stable which he carried on in connection with his numerous other enterprises for thirty years or more. In 1848, he bought of David W. Farrar the store which is now occupied by E. P. Kimball & Son, and which was built a few years before by S. G. Whitney. Ten years later he added the tin business which he carried on in the house now owned by Troy Blanket Mills and known as the "tinshop house." At one time he had ten pedlars on the road. He conducted this business for a few years when he gave it up. In 1859 he bought out the store of Brown Nurse, which was in what is now the tenement part of the Monadnock Hotel, and two years later bought out Thomas Goodall in the D. W. Farrar store. In addition to these he has at different times been con- nected with or interested in numerous other enterprises which have been carried on here, the picture frame business, the broom business and the brick business, besides holding various offices and serving as post- master, town clerk, tax collector, auctioneer and deputy sheriff. He was appointed deputy sheriff in 1844, and was appointed sheriff in 1874, and has held the office of deputy sheriff from his first appointment until the present time except under sheriffs B. Lovell, Geo. W. Holbrook and E. F. Lane and while he was sheriff. In 1870, he bought of Elisha H. Tolman, the farm he
