WAR OF THE REBELLION, 53 



Charlestown, on December 31, 1894; the Reverend Thomas 

 Treadwell Stone, D. D. (youngest son of Deacon Solomon 

 Stone), who died at Bolton, on November 13, 1895, and at the 

 time of his death the oldest alumnus of Bowdoin College ; 

 and Luther Lewis Tarbell (youngest son of William Tarbell), 

 who died at Marlboro, on July 10, 1896. 



In connection with this subject, I will say that I remember 

 William Tarbell very well, who in my day always used to 

 wear a queue. In this notice of him the statement that he 

 made a drawing of the encampment at Valley Forge is incor- 

 rect. In the summer of 1783, however, he did make a rude 

 drawing of the camp at New Windsor just above West Point, 

 where he was then serving. It represents the barracks and 

 other features of the camp which I remember seeing very 

 many years ago. Presumably it is still in the possession of 

 the family. 



WAR OF THE REBELLION, 



Colonel Kimball was originally a member of the Fourth 

 Battalion of Rifles, which was merged in the Thirteenth Massa- 

 chusetts Volunteers. 



ENLISTED WITH MASSACHUSETTS RIFLES. 



Colonel George Hartwell Kimball died unexpectedly at his home 

 in Los Angeles, Cal., on Thursday from acute pneumonia. He was 

 seventy-one years old and leaves a wife and one daughter. Colonel 

 Kimball was born at Groton Sept. 25, 1841. When the Civil War 

 began he enlisted in the Fourth Massachusetts Rifles, and because of 

 his service he was promoted to be first lieutenant. He resigned in 

 1863. After a short stay in the East he went to Dakota and Arizona 

 where he was a post trader. Then, interested in grain commission 

 business and storage, he went to California. He was lieutenant colo- 

 nel and aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Stoneman. Until 1877 

 he held a responsible position with the Spring Valley Water Company 

 of San Francisco, and then went to Southern California to make his 

 permanent home.
