If you're interested in the history of objects, Capt. Samuel R. Kimble (the name on my trunk...) had quite an intriguing career. ...
The 1958 edition of the Army Register indicates that he died in 1957 at Monmouth Junction, NJ, not too far from the flea market.
Thanks for the breakdown, intriguing career for sure. After just watching a docudrama about WWI trench warfare I can understand the rapid promotions during those years.
I first saw he retired in 1942 and was surprised anyone retired that year, but he was 50 years old when that was old. I have a grandfather (the mechanic who's tools and toolbox I have) who was born in 1905 and too young for WWI and they wouldn't take him at 36 years old in 1941. Instead he kept everyone in Morgan County, Kentucky's old cars running during the war years.
