Daniel Tomlinson Kimball died suddenly in New York city November 29, 1919. He was making a call on a brother lawyer when he felt a sudden pain in the region of the heart; repairing to a drug store for relief he fell, and expired almost immediately.

The son of Richard Burleigh and Julia Caroline (Tomlinson) Kimball, he was born in New York city, March 20, 1852. His father, a graduate of Dartmouth in 1834, was a lawyer, but more largely devoted to literature writing novels of vogue in his day, Richard Kimball '65 is a brother.'

His college preparation was chiefly obtained at Kimball Union Academy. He left Dartmouth in the middle of sophomore year, and returned to New York, read law there, and practised there continuously from 1877.

He was never married. He was a Repub- lican in politics, and interested in the promotion of reform movements. He was a member of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church and identified with its work. In 1886 Dartmouth conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
