NOTE: Leonard Kilbourn is NOT buried in Kinkead Cemetery. Obit states he was buried in Minneapolis. This memorial will stay in place (being there is a stone) until his burial place is determined.
Death of L. W. Kilbourn, Esq.
On Friday last August 3d, the sad intelligence reached the village that L. W. Kilbourn of this place, who was temporarily residing in Minneapolis, had died there, of inflammation of the bowels after an illness of only a few days duration.
Mr. Kilbourn was born in New York State in the year 1834. He moved west when yet quite a young man and settled in Minnesota in the early territorial days. He lived for sometime at and near Rochester Minn., and first came to Alexandria in Dec. 1867, when he was at once engaged by the late W. E. Hicks to take charge of the Alexandria Steam Saw & Grist mills. He remained in Mr. Hicks employ until the fall of 1870, and spent the next winter in Florida. In the spring of 1872 he laid our the forty acre tract just east of town now known as Kilbourn's Addition. Although Mr. Kilbourn did not reside here during the entire year; (his business keeping him in Minneapolis during the summer months) still he considered himself a citizen of this village and he always took a lively interest in all its public and private improvements. It was his habit to spend all of his winters here, and he had, by his many manly and social qualities, endeared himself to a large circle of friends, who will be a long time accustoming themselves to his absence. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and had been both S.W. and W.M. of Constellation Lodge No. 81 of this village. His remains were buried at Minneapolis on Sunday last with Masonic honors. Mr. Van Hoesen, W.M., attending as the representative from this lodge.
Mr. Kilbourn was in full possession of all his mental faculties up to the last moment and was conscious of his approaching dissolution. He suffered a great deal from the acute pains of his disease, but bore all with equanimity and fortitude, and received the tenderest care from faithful nurses and physicians. Mrs. White, an excellent lady of Faribault, to whom he was to be married in the Fall, was present, affectionately administering to all his wants. He made a will, giving to Mrs. White $1000, the half of his life insurance in the Masonic Relief Association, the other half to a niece, the remainder of his property to his brother in Minneapolis.
