Clifford Dale Kimball, son of Harry and Jessie Kimball, of rural Medicine
  Lodge, Kansas, and Thelma Berenice Keck, of Colby, Kansas, were married May
  17, 1936. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
  Mrs. Oscar E. Keck, of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
     After an extended honeymoon in Colorado, the young couple returned to the
  Forest City Community, where they made their home on the Cyrus Palmer Ranch.
  This was their home for seventeen years.
     It was during those years that three sons, Larry Dale, Clifford Lynn, and
  John Douglas were born to this happy family. Clifford was a great father to 
  take his sons with him wherever he went. They, of course, loved this and grew
  up to be very attached to their father, in fact, they were like three little
  shadows.
     The boys attended Forest City School during their Primary School years. By
  the time Larry was ready for the seventh grade, the school was closed. It was
  then that they went to Mingona School until Larry graduated from the eighth
  grade. Edith Haynes was their teacher. When Larry was ready for high school,
  the family moved to town.
     Berenice had taught school in Thomas County before she married Clifford, so 
  she decided to go back into the teaching profession. After going back to 
  college a year, she started teaching in the Medicine Lodge Primary School. She
  taught the Third Grade for twenty-one consecutive years.
     During this time, the three sons grew up, married, and have families of
  their own. Larry Dale, the oldest son, married Jean Howell of Harper, Kansas.
  He attended Emporia State Teachers College and Wichita Vocational Tech School.
  They have two sons, Jimmie and Steven, and one daughter, Belinda.
     Lynn joined the Navy after graduation fronm High School. He spent four years
  stationed in San Diego, California, and the Far EAst. It was while he was
  stationed in San Diego, California that he met and married Marlene Rink. She
  was employed at the Bank of America. After his four years were up, he was ready
  to get out of the Navy and come back to Barber County. They have three daughters,
  Cindy, Cathy Richard, Connie Mott, and one son, Ronnie Kimball. Ronnie is in
  the United States Air Force.
     John married Rita Bell, daughter of Fern and Glenn Bell of rural Medicine
  Lodge. Joh and Rita have two sons - Douglas Lynn and Justin Chad, and a
  daughter, Anita Renee. One precious little son, Michael Duane, died from
  Leukemia in 1973. He was just four years old. Both John and Rita attended
  Emporia State Teachers College.
     We have always been a closely knit family. A family that enjoys each others
  company and likes to be together. Needless to say our children and families
  have always been and are a joy to their parents.
