WILLIAM T. KIMES.
- The Kimes family, of which a brief history is here
presented, is of German extraction, and settled in this
country at an early date. Samuel Kimes, the father
of the subject, was born in Adams county, Pa., but in his young
manhood removed to Allegheny City, Pa.., and was employed there
by a lead company for many years. His wife died when the
subject of this sketch was quite young. Her name was
Elizabeth spear and she was a daughter of Robert Spear
a native of Ireland, who settled in Franklin county, Pa., so
that William T. Kimes is of both German and Irish
parentage. Robert Spear reared young William T.
Rimes from the time of his mother’s death until he reached
his twentieth year, which was in 1861, he having been born Nov.
16, 1841.
In August, 1862, our subject enlisted in company K, One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania infantry, in which he
served nine months, during which time he saw some of the hardest
fighting of the war. He was in the battle of Sheppardstown,
in that of Fredericksburg, and in the battle of
Chancellorsville, three of the great battles of the war.
But he was neither wounded nor taken prisoner, so that he was
much more fortunate than thousands, who, like him, went out to
battle for their country’s cause. At the close of his term
of service he returned to the farm, upon which he remained until
1867, when he settled on his present farm of sixty-five acres in
section No. 25, Shawnee township, a good farm upon which he has
made all the improvements himself. He is a progressive
farmer, and a successful man, independent in politics, and a
member of Mart. Armstrong post, No. 202, G. A. R.,
of Lima. He is patriotic, industrious and honest, in every
way a highly respected citizen, and though not desiring
political preferment, yet has been elected township trustee for
one term, which is all the official experience he desires.
Mr. Rimes was married, in 1870, to
Miss Maria Mechling, daughter of Joshua
Mechling, deceased. By this marriage Mr.
Rimes has children, as follows: Jane, Sophia,
Edna, Walter, Esther, and William R.,
the latter deceased. In matters of religion Mr. Rimes
is a member of and an elder in the Evangelical Lutheran church
of Perry township, and always is interested in its success and
prosperity. He is a highly intelligent gentleman, and is
county reporter for the agricultural department of the United
States.
