He was born in Auburn, Wyoming, on November 1, 1904, the son of Aldwin Kimball and Rosella Jane Walton Jenkins. He was the second of ten children. He spent most of his early life in Auburn, with the exception of three years his family lived in Moore, Idaho. He started school in Moore and completed through the sixth grade in Auburn.
