(1786-1866), came from Vermont in 1816 and settled on a farm
in Gerry. His descendants lived on the family farm until 1920.
Ralph is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Sinclairville.

KIMBEL
HOMESTEAD
This is the old Kimbel homestead in Charlotte Center, date
unknown. My Great Grandmother, Ellen Mahala Kimbel
Fessenden (1887-1981), grew up in this house. Her
father, Charles E. Kimbel, died the same year she was born.
He was only 24. I know very little about Ellen's family.
I know her mother, Ella J. Dibble (1862-1915) never
remarried so Great Grandma was an only child. When
Great Grandma & Grandpa Fessenden married, they moved to
Mount Morris, New York to be near the TB hospital Ella
was in and where she eventually died. The 2 women on the
porch could very well be Ella Dibble Kimbel and
daughter, Ellen Kimbel Fessenden.

whom left Westfield and settled in various places in the West.
Their oldest daughter, Anna Mallory married Lorenzo Bliss and
they are both buried in the Westfield cemetery. Their son
Emmett stayed in Chautauqua County, married Caroline Walker,
then Jane Scofield and is buried in the Scofield plot in the
Mayville cemetery. Their daughter Esther Mallory married Dr.
Charles Gillis and both are buried in the Westfield cemetery.
Also daughter Finette Mallory who married Albert Manley, is
buried next to her parents. Their son, Allen Mallory, who with
Emmett was a one time proprietor of the Glen Mills, is my
direct ancestor. His daughter, Phoebe Adelaide Mallory, was
born in Westfield. Her mother, Harriet Chapin Mallory, died at
age 32 and is buried in the Westfield cemetery next to Isaac
and Amy Mallory. Both Allen Mallory and daughter Addie Mallory
Curtis are buried in Bentonville, Arkansas.
