ON. H. I. KIMBALL, of Atlanta,
Ga., who died at Brookline, Mass.,
last Saturday, was a brother of Mr. E. N.
Kimball, of The Hallet & Davis Co., Bos-
ton. The deceased was a man who had
achieved a notable place in the industrial
world. For many years he had been promi-
nently identified with the industrial pro-
gress of the South, and to him more than
any one man Atlanta is indebted for the
rapid strides which she has made in manu-
factures since the close-of the war. By the
investment of large sums in industrial en-
terprises he showed what possibilities the
South possessed in that line, and that he
had confidence in her future. He built the
Kimball House, in Atlanta, since burned
and rebuilt by himself. The funeral of the
deceased took place at his brother's resi-
dence last Monday.
