-- Judge Ivory --
Served in the E company of the 55th Indiana Regiment.

In the papers of Arthur Alden Kimball filed by his wife in Nov 1997, she says'
'His grandfather Ivory G. Kimball was a Civil
War veteran who was appointed judge of the Washington, DC, police court by President
Cleveland in 1893.'

The Memorial Amphitheater, at the Arlington National Cemetary, was the dream of Judge
Ivory G. Kimball, who wished to have a place to
assemble and honor the American defenders.


Judge Ivory:

'Judge I. G. Kimball worked hard during several sessions of Congress
as the Department Head of the G.A.R. in the District to get the bill
thro Congress to build the Arlington Amplitheatre.
It finally went thro in President Theo. Roosevelt's Administration,
and the Judge was
honored by being the one chosen to remove the first spadeful of earth
to start the work.
His name appears on a bronze tablet on the completed structure.
He regarded this as the crowning accomplishment of his life.'

(George E.Kimball)
