11 Jun 1891, p3 - Daniel Kimmel, one of the best and most widely known business men of Cambridge City, died at the residence of his brother-in-law, John H. Riser, last Thursday, and was buried in Riverside cemetery on Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Kimmel began life March 4, 1839, at the old home farm east of Milton. Soon after reaching his majority he came to this city and went into the brewing business with his brother, Joseph Kimmel, and Henry Ingerman. Afterwards the Messrs. Kimmel withdrew from the firm and engaged in the malting business under the firm name of J.&D. Kimmel. In this they were highly successful and built up a large and lucrative trade. October 9, 1866, the deceased was united in marriage with Louisa J. Witmer, who, with one son, survives him. Some years since Mr. Kimmel went to Emporia, Kansas, for the benefit of his wife's health, which proved equally beneficial to both. He then concluded to make that his future home, but the recent death of his brother, left him to look after the interests of the firm, and he came back and continued the business until compelled to keep his room, his old complaint becoming apparent almost as soon as he returned. In the meantime, however, the malting business had been transferred to an Indianapolis syndicate, and Mr. Kimmel hoped soon to be relieved and return to his family and better health. He was always active and industrious, and enjoyed a wide acquaintance and great respect. He was a good citizen, and his demise is a loss to Cambridge City. Funeral services were conducted at Mr. Heiser's house on Saturday by Elder Samones, of Milton, assisted by Rev. Markland, of this city.
