Solomon and Anna Spaulding Kimball were the parents of Heber C. Kimball. Their extant frame home at Mendon, New York, is located about a mile from the intersection of SR 64 and Boughton Hill Road.

Anna was born about 1773 in Connecticut and passed away in February 1825 near Mendon. Solomon was born in 1770 in Hopkinton, Hillsboro County, New Hampshire. He passed away several months after his wife on July 9, 1825. Both were buried in the Tomlinson Corners Cemetery, Mendon, New York.

Solomon’s original headstone was preserved by encasing it in a new granite marker. The inscription on the newer side reads: “Solomon F. Kimball died July 9, 1825 age 50. Father of Heber C. Kimball and great grandfather of Spencer W. Kimball the 12th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
