Horace E. Kimball
1839 - 1901 Author of "Fling out the banners" Horace Esterbrook Kimball was born in Clyde, New York, Sept. 28th, 1839, but was raised in Orange, New Jersey. He served in the 4th New York Heavy Artillery during the Civil War, and commanded a company of the 10th U.S. Colored Troops Heavy Artillery in the garrison forces in New Orleans until 1867. After the war Kimball worked as a printer in Chicago, and rose to be chief editor of Brainard's Musical World (Cleveland, Ohio) for a brief time. He returned to New Jersey by 1880 and died there Nov. 10, 1901. His New method for the reed organ: a complete progressive and practical system of instruction (Brainard's Sons, 1872) was widely popular. He was baptized into the New Jerusalem Church (Swedenborgian) in Chicago in 1868 by J. R. Hibberd.
