Biographical history
The first member of the Tarbell-Kimball family to come live in the Eastern Townships was Edward Horace Tarbell, (1841-1916), son of Horace W. Tarbell and Charlotte Leach, who married Catherine Kimball (1837-1920), daughter of Albert Kimball (1811-1891) and Sarah Ann Williamson, on November 1st, 1864 in Knowlton. The couple had three children: Albert Edward (1870-1873), Herbert Kimball (1874-1944) and Sarah Catherine (1876-1967). Herbert K. Tarbell married Nellie Ruth Farmer, adopted daughter of Alvin Farmer and Catherine Inglis, being a Home Child born in England. They went to live in the United States, but Nellie came back to Knowlton probably after her husband died. She was very fond of her sister Glenna Mae Farmer (1889-1960), who married Sydney Taylor Smith (1875-1964) and had only one child Ronald Alvin Smith (1923-1985).
