- ABRAHAM ALONZO “LON” Kimball
1872-1953
Abraham Alonzo Kimball was born February 24, 1872, at Kanosh (Hatton), U t ah, the third child and eldest son of the eight children of Abe Kimbal l a nd Mary Eliza Hatton. Lon was only sixteen when his father died at t he e arly age of 43.
Like his father, Lon served as both bishop and Indian Bishop to the Piu t e Tribe, for 22 great years.
Kanosh Town hall stands as a monument to his love of, and defense of, t h e youth of the church. (How he built it is a legend of the area) .
A stockman – farmer by vocation - Lon served in the Utah Legislature , a s Mayor of Kanosh, as an officer of the State Livestock Associations , a s president of several local government units and as first Millard Co unt y Director of the Civil Works Administration during the late thirties .
Lon and Mary Jane Gardner were married in the Salt Lake Temple on Octob e r 10, 1899. Their children were Abraham Noble, Royal Garner, Lola Merl e , James Gardner, Rose, Orval l L. and Raymond Alonzo.
Lon Kimball was blessed with a true love of people, a gift of healin g , a flair for church and civic leadership, and especially by loving fam il ies. Among his kinsfolk, and his many friends, his name is remembere d wi th appreciation and reverence.
To some family members, it seems that this eldest son and eldest broth e r of both families (named after his father) not only brought honor to t h e name of Abraham Alonzo, but through his righteous living and by his e xa mple, earned the title of “Spiritual Heir” of the family – just as hi s fa ther, before him, was referred to as the “Spiritual Heir” of the Heb er C . Kimball family.
In reverence and quiet respect, one member of the Abraham Alonzo famil y s aid, “Uncle Lon Kimball was in a class all by himself. No one will e ve r forget him or what he stood for – he loved the Lord and loved all pe opl e.” As the eldest son, he was truly the patriarch of the large Abrah am A lonzo Kimball family.
