ADMIRAL KlMBERLEY DEAD WASHINGTON, January 28—860- retary Long has received a telegram announcing that Rear A dmir'al Lewis A. Kimberley, U. S. N.. retired; died at West Newton, Mass. this morning. Admiral Kimberley was selected for service on the Schley Court of Inquiry, but was compelled to decline on ac- count of ill health. NEWTON. Mass, January 28~The death of Rear Admiral Lewis A. Kim- berly. U. S. N.. retired which occurred today was due to heart failure, to which the rear admiral had been sub- ject for some time, but which did not assume dangerous symptoms until a few days ago. The turn for the worse was not made known outside of the household, and the family permitted the first announcement of the death to reach the cltlnens of Newton through news despatches, from Washington, word having been sent to the Navy De- partment as soon as the rear admiral expired. As executive, oificer under Farragut during the civil war. as presi- dent of many special boards. as a com- mander at Korea and at Samoa during the hurrican of 1887. the rear admiral’s life had been among the most active in the navy. Since 1889, howeVer. he has resided quietly at Newton, taking no part in public affairs. He was retired in 1892. The rear admiral was seven- ty—two years old. A widow and two children, one of whom Victor A. Kim- berly, is an ensign in the United States navy, survive. WW Trust Co.
