I was exploring the Internet in search of local history once again, when I came across a fun bit of St. Vincent trivia in the form of an advertisement for...chickens!
I looked up Rev. James E. Kimberley, and found that he was an Episcopal minister. As of 1906, he was listed in a church publication as being stationed in St. Vincent (at Christ Church). The ad below shows that he was still there as of 1915. He makes some astounding claims about his Buff Orpington chickens that made me smile!
The ad above is from the January 1916 issue of the "Poultry Herald".
Later, I found the ad below in the January 1915 issue of the "Poultry Herald".
That was my Grandfather.
