Notes: 1616* Ardendale Avenue in the unincorporated area of San Gabriel, California was the family home of
Ward and Betty Kimball and their three children. Built about 1939, the home had 3,154 Sq. Ft. It
was on an irregulary shaped lot that allowed space for the Grizzly Flats Railroad. The photograph
to the right shows the lot after the railroad and train barn were removed.
In the 1940 USA census, Ward and Betty were living with their first daughter, only a month old. Ward
was an artist, and had earned $5,000. the previous year. They owned the home, valued at $13,000.
On 23 Jan 1988, two light planes collided over the San Gabriel Valley, sending one plummeting onto
the front yard of the Kimball's home. Ward, Betty, and Kelly were inside the home at the time, but
were not hurt. Two in the plane died.
*The 1940 USA census and a 1946 newspaper article identified the address as 1616 Ardendale Road.
The houses were renumbered at some point in time, and the present day address is 8910 Ardendale. |
