Myron Samuel Kimmy was the seventh child born to Peter Kimmy and Mary Pike in Meadville, Pennsylvania. He had one younger brother, Perry, who was four years younger. Their mother died when Myron was eight years old. In 1870 Census he was dwelling with Samuel Hobbs, and wife, who was a hotel keeper in Meadville Ward 2. He was age 13 and worked in a Cigar Factory. Nov 8 1883 he married Mary Electa Allen in Blooming Valley, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. In 1900 they were living in Madison Township Lake County, Ohio where his brother Perry lived. Occupation of Myron was carpenter. In this Census Mary indicated that she was the mother of 4 children and 3 were living. No information has been found about the other child who would have had died young. When they moved to Alberta Canada Myron applied for Canadian Citizenship. He farmed on a homestead obtained. When he went to Washington State in 1910 he had to apply for United States Naturalization which seemed rather strange since he was born in Pennsylvania, United States.
I was so happy to find his gravestone and some info on Find-A-Grave, The person who enter his name so kindly transferred it to me, then I was able to add more
