His father died when he was young, and at fourteen years of age he was apprenticed to a blacksmith in a neighboring town, where he remained until he was twenty-one years old. At the age of nineteen he became a Christian, with a strong desire to preach the Gospel. Failing in his effort to purchase his remaining time from his master, he toiled on till he wastwenty-one, and the second day after started for Phillips Academy, Andover, to prepare for college. This was in 1S19. He entered Dartmouth College in 1S22, andgraduated in 1826. In his preparatory course he was aided by the American Education Society, which aid he refunded after entering the ministry. In college his patron was a gentleman of his native town, who sought him out, and paid all his bills. In the autumn of 1S26 he entered the Theological Seminary in Andover. Near the close of his first year there his eyes began to fail from a disease of the retina, attended with severe pain, and in the beginning of the second year,he was entirely disabled for study. In December, 1827, he entered the Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston, where he remained six months, and obtained some relief. He returned to Ipswich, where he was confined to his room more than two years, and became totally blind. At the close of this period his eyes were free from suffering, and his heart so set on the work of the ministry, that he ventured to take a license to preach, and labored considerably in the revivals of 1831. Being too feeble to take charge of a parish, he was ordained in 1832, and under commission from the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society he labored in Gloucester Harbor, South Dennis, and Harwich, Mass. In the latter place he preached two years.He died June 19, 1879. Mrs. Kimball survives him and resides in Medway."
