Mrs. Minnie Kimball Crampton died at her home on the corner of High and South Main streets on the anniversary of her birth, Sunday, afternoon, November 19, 1907, after a long illness. She was the youngest of three daughters born to the late Leonard and Minerva (Chatfield) Kimball, both of whom came to Naperville from New York among the pioneers of the early thirties.
Although born at Mineral Point, Wis., nearly all of Mrs. Crampton's life was spent in or near Naperville. First, as a school girl and teacher at the Academy, as the Naperville school was then called, and then as the wife of W. M. Crampton, to whom she was united in marriage January 21st, 1869. Although for many years an invalid her faith in God's goodness never wavered and her greatest pleasure was to help and comfort those in trouble and sorrow.
Wishing her friends to remember her as she was when strong enough to see them, it was her request that only the ____ members of her family should accompany her to her last resting place. The Rev. Mr. Peebles conducted the short service at the home and grave, November 13, 1907.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, two daughters, Miss Genevieve Crampton and Mrs. Mervin W. Strong, of Aurora, and one little grand-daughter, besides a host of friends.
