Waverly Journel, Jan. 12, 1901
Mary C. Evans was born at Carrollton, Ill., Dec. 23, 1832, and died at her home in Waverly Jan. 8, 1901, at the age of 68 years and 15 days. In the year 1856 she was united in marriage to A. L. Kimber, of Virden, Ill., where they resided until their removal to Waverly soon afterward. Mrs. Kimber was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church until after her marriage when she changed her church relationship to the M. E. church and continued a faithful member until Sept. 8, 1895, when she united with the Congregational church of this city and remained a consistent and faithful member until her death. She leaves to mourn her loss, four children: A. L. Kimber, of Chicago; George L., of Waverly; Anna, of New York, and Mrs. F. R. Smedley, of Springfield; two brothers and one sister: John Evans, of St. Louis, W. Evans, of Jacksonville, and Mrs. Margaret Heaton, of Florida.
Mrs. Kimber had been a resident of Waverly for many years and her husband, who preceded her to his reward several years ago, was one of the pioneers of our city and was a very influential and much respected citizen. His wife, as well, was a woman of wide acquaintance and had found a host of friends among her neighbors and acquaintances in Waverly.
The funeral was held at the Congregational church yesterday morning conducted by the Rev. Bugbey, assisted by Rev. Geo. W. White. A very impressive and appropriate sermon was delivered by Rev. Bugbey from the text, "Because I live ye shall live also." Interment was made in East cemetery.
