The KIMBALLS were at Ipswich, Mass., from 1650, and were numerous, originating probably with Richard Kim- ball, who came from Ipswich, England, in 1634. Henry, son probably of Richard, was at Ipswich in 1640, and Thomas was at Charlestown in 1653. Boyce Kimball, a descendant of Richard, was born at Ipswich, June 26, 1731, and the record of the family of himself and Rebecca, his wife, is thus : Boyce, born March 4, 1757 ; Rebecca, July 9, 1759 ; Jonathan, July 23, 1761 ; Ebenezer, Decem- ber 3, 1764; Mary, September 11, 1767 ; Susanna, July 24, 1769 ; Priscilla, November 21, 1771 ; Timothy, Decem- ber 21, 1773 ; Richard, May 19, 1775; Amasa, May 23, 1777 : Ruel, December 20, 1778. About January 1, 1799, Ruel married Hannah Mather, and settled in Marlboro, Vermont, being a Presbyterian Minister. Their family

Ruel Kimball, Sr., died, October 1, 1847, at East Hampton, Massachusetts, and his wife Hannah, died at Leyden, March 9, 1860. She was the daughter of Timothy Mather and Hannah Church, his wife, whose family record stands thus : Parents, Tim- othy Mather, born at Marlboro, Vermont, March 1, 1757, died, March 18, 1818; Hannah, his wife, born November 26, 1756, died, October 13, 1827.

Timothy Mather, Sr., was descended from Richard Mather, who was born of an ancient family in Lowton, Parish of Winwick, Lancanshire, England, and settled as a minister, at Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1635, being the grandfather of Cotton Mather.
In the life and character of Rev. RUEL KIMBALL, as well as in that of his wife, HANNAH, there was much that is in- teresting and instructive, and that deserves a place in the memories of their descendants. Mr. Kimball, with but a common education, prepared himself for the ministry, at a time when its duties were more than ordinarily labori- ous and self-denying, and when the burdens, too, rested heavily on the wives. At first, located in Marlboro, Ver- mont, he left there about 1805 for Leray, Jefferson 30

County, and there remained till about 1816, when he moved to Leyden, and there lived till his death. Though strict in his religious views and habits, he was still pater- nal and kind. His heart was always open to the unfor- tunate, and his benevolence was constant, and in amount up to the scriptural standard. In demeanor he was dig- mified and impressive, earnest and thoughtful; as a christian preacher, beyond reproach. His wife was well fitted for her position, was a woman of more than ordi- nary ability, and morally and intellectually, her standard was high, and she so taught her children. "Her children arise up and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her."
Mr. and Mrs. ALANSON MERWIN immediately after their marriage, in 1825, went to live upon their farmi upon the East Road in Leyden, where they have ever since resided. Their house, small at first, has been necessarily enlarged from time to time, but it is the Old Homestead still. Their children are James A. Merwin, of Port Leyden, New York, Huldah K. Saxe, wife of Rev. George G. Saxe, of Stamford, Connecticut, and Milton H. Merwin, of Utica, New York.
THE ANNIVERSARY.
Those born in Lewis County, or familiar with its eli- mate, will appreciate the uncertainties of travel or endur- ance, in that locality for any day in the month of Janu- uary. The 13th day of January, 1875, was not an excep- tion. The elements reminded us of earlier days. How- ever, the children, with their life companions, succeeded in reaching the homestead from different and distant lo- . calities. The grandchildren were held in reserve. The parents, for their years, wonderfully sustained themselves and met the day with such joy and gratitude as only those in like circumstances can appreciate. Without, the storm raged furiously, piling up the snow and intensify-

ing the cold. Within, were glad and joyous hearts, and mingled voices all in harmony, ready to greet the occa- sion looked forward to with so much interest by all. Many of the friends we hoped to see were necessarily absent, but in memory we gathered them all. The old familiar rooms were summerized, the beautiful calla and the fragrant heliotrope, the carnation and the rose, and the waxen green of the smilax were there, typifying the ideas of the occasion. Many letters were read, many re- miniscences were called up, and with good cheer for body and mind, the day passed rapidly away. And finally as we parted, we adjourned to meet again, Dro volente, the coming summer, when we hope all the grandchildren will be present to enjoy the renewed festivities and pleasures, and be enlivened by the spirit of the Old Home.
We append some extracts from communications re- ceived for the golden wedding.
FROM ALONZO KIMBALL, ESQ., OF GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN.
To my brother and sister :
"Allow me, your younger brother, to congratulate you on this happy return of your fiftieth wedding day. An occasion of this kind is not common, and occurs in the history of a family only here and there. Fifty years have been born and grown old since occurred that happy event in your lives. Well I remember that day and the place where. It was in the parlor of the old house, situated on the east side of the old State road, on Leyden Hill. That old house I can see it yet, though I helped to tear it away years agone. That old parlor was not very spacious nor ornately finished, nor fashionably furnished. There was no carved furniture, no richly wrought ottomans,, no fashionable cushioned sofas or chairs. No velvet carpet covered the floor. The walls were not even papered, nor doors or casings painted, and to come to the plain truth, all the surroundings were very plain, a plain common parlor, plain common furniture, and very plain people filled it on that occasion. But joy abonnded, and virtue and happiness had a home there, and in your hearts were high aspirations and a determined purpose and firm resolve to battle mantully with the conflicts of life before you. Our venerated father, many years gone to his rest, officiated on that occasion, and you stood upon the west side of that old parlor, and with joined hands you solemnly pledged your loves till death should you separate, and then

and there our father pronounced you lawfully wedded, husband and wife, and fervently invoked the divine blessing to rest on you and yours through all the devions ways of life's pathway. Then followed congratu- lations and many hearty good wishes. and an abundance of right hearty good cheer. suitable to the time and occasion. Can you recall the names of the guests on that occasion ? I remember some of them. The Fish family and the Ferrys, but I cannot name all. But, alas, very few of them still live. only in the spirit world. But a kind Providence has spared yon, and crowns your lives with many and rich blessings. * * If you travel in mind through your streets from North to Sonth and from East to West, you will discover very few that were in their manhood fifty years ago. Call to mind the changes that have taken place in these fifty years. changes in the political world. changes in the social and moral world. The improvements in the arts and the discoveries in the sciences, the improvements in farming and horticulture, while railroads and telegraph lines intersect the land in all directions. In fact, you have witnessed the introduction of a new civilization, and in all these changes you have not been idle lookers on, but helpers instead, in pro- ducing them, part and parcel of them."
FROM REV. HENRY BANNISTER, OF EVANSTON, ILLINOIS.
* "The event is not more rare than it is of most thrilling inter- * est, that two persons, joined in holy wedlock in their youth, survive to see the fiftieth year of their marriage. With you, the years past have been peaceful, prosperous and happy. Our kind Heavenly Father has ever continned his tender hand upon and with you. Your pathway has been strewed with flowers rather than with thorns. The usual common perplexities you have had, but as to trials, you have had none worth mentioning. The most precious interests of your household are your children. These you reared and educated, and sent ont into the world to do good, and their career thus tar has made you happy. They are with you this day, and, as far as possible, with their own children, all to bless you. Their affection and honor, you have always had, and with your increasing years, their reverence will grow and their blessings will multiply upon you. The same reverence will be upon your names when you are gone. The more we think of it, your lives together, seem a mar- vel to us. No sickness ot serious account, no deaths in your own circle. no interruptions to worldly prosperity, nothing but joy in your children and grandchildren ; unnumbered comforts surrounding you to this mo- ment ; vicissitudes all in an ascending grade of blessings throughout- so far as this world has gone with you, golden lives, as well as golden wedding-for all which, no doubt, this occasion finds you overflowing with gratitude to God. Your brothers and sisters thank God in your be- half. Fain would we all be with you and join grateful hearts in this festivity of your lives. The years are rapidly passing with us all. None

of us are without occasion for deep gratitude for the goodness of God to us all. The time allotted for the remaining duties assigned to each of ns is short. May it be spent in the fear and love of God, and be closed with the consciousness that our work has been well done."

When storms are uplifting the waves of the ocean, Or when the bright sunbeams enliven the day, When nature inspires us with warmest emotion, We still think of kindred and friends far away.
