Pictured at left is Fred Kimberling whose father was
the namesake of Kimberling City in Stone County, Missouri. Fred is standing
on the front steps of the family home which was built the year Fred was
born. A newspaper article in which the picture appears states, "In the
old days, when high water made river passage impossible, travelers camped
in the yard of the home and Fred's mother passed out homemade biscuits
at 10 cents a dozen".
The photo of Fred Kimberling is courtesy of his granddaughter Janet Thompson. More information on the Kimberling family of Stone County, Missouri can be found in the 1973 issue of the White River Valley Historical Quarterly |
