Since Family Tree does not allow "complete" documents, i.e. with embedded photos, special formatting and footnotes, in Life Sketch or Photos, I have opted to include a lengthy biography (200+ pages) of William, an historical novel based and an historical story about William in his "Photos and Documents."

From The Huntington Family in America A Genealogical Memoir of the Known Descendants of Simon Huntington from 1633-1915 In 1804 he moved with his parents to Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, being one of the first settlers of that county. In 1806, he returned to New Hampshire and married Zina. Soon after his marriage he moved to Watertown, NY where he lived and prospered in temporal blessings until 1811, when he sold out and the following year war was declared with Great Britain, which proved fatal to his prospects and coupled with much sickness in the family reduced them very low in pecuniary circumstances. His services in the army were done with the fife. He was in one battle, that of Sackett's Harbour. In 1816, Providence smiled on him again and about the same time he experienced religion and joined the Presbyterian church. In the winter of 1832-33 he first heard of "Mormonism", read the Book of Mormon, believed it with all his heart and preached it almost every day to his neighbors and everybody he could see or had the privilege to chat with, until 1835, when he and wife with two of their children were baptized by Elder Dutcher. After that his house was a meeting house and a home for all Saints. May 18,1836 he sent two of his children, Dimick and Presidia and their families to Kirkland, waiting himself only to sell out. October 1, 1836, he started and moved to Kirkland with quite a number of saints under the direction of Apostles Orson Pratt and Luke S. Johnson, being ordained an Elder previous to starting. He arrived in Kirkland on the 11th, bought a farm from Jacob Bumb, and paid him three thousand dollars. Of this amount he was defrauded, so that in a little over one year he was compelled to labor by the day for a living. In the breaking up of Kirkland the apostates harassed him with law suits until he saw his children often go to bed crying for bread. For nearly two weeks he lived on greens. His house was a hiding place for Father JosephSmith, Hyrum, Samuel and Don Carlos, while they were trying to escape from the persecutions in Kirkland. The egyptian mummies were also hid in his house for a long time and many of the pursued and persecuted Saints found a retreat there. In Kirkland he received his washing and anointings in the temple and was ordained a High Priest and High Counselor in which office he acted until the Church left Kirkland. He lost $500 in the Kirkland bank. May 21,1838, he started for Far West, Missouri, where he arrived about 2 months later, and, by counsel, moved to Adamondi-Ahman, where he was chosen commissary for the brethren who armed for defense; and after the mob had driven and hemmed in the scattering brethren, he was commissary for all the people of that place and had charge of all the provisions of the town. After the surrender of the Church in Far West, he was foreman of the committee chosen to confer with the committee chosen by the mob. These two committees were representatives of and authorized to transact all business for their respective committees. He was also one of a committee chosen to see to the poor and get them moved out of Missouri, which they did to the complete satisfaction of the whole church, though with no ordinary exertion and remained himself until about the last man and family. His was one of the first families that moved to Nauvoo where he arrived May 14, 1839. About the first day of June his whole family was taken sick and on the 8th his wife died of sickness, caused by hardships and exposure. At this time he suffered for the comforts of life. At a conference held in October, 1839, he was again chosen to the office of High Counselor. August 28,1840, he married Lydia Clisbee. As a member of the High Council he hoped to ay one of the cornerstones of the Nauvoo Temple. He continued a member of the High Council until the expulsion from Nauvoo. In the move from Nauvoo he was appointed captain of a company of fifty wagons which he helped to make, and to fit up for the company but which was subsequently disorganized. He was then appointed a captain of ten in Amasa M Lyman's company until the settlement of Mt Pisgah was located, where he was left to preside over that Stake of Zion. In his place his labors were extreme and unremitting for the good and welfare of the people and the comfort of the sick, of which there were a great many. August 9, 1846, he was taken sick with the chills and fever of which he died. In life he was beloved by all the Saints. His love and zeal for the cause were unsurpassed by any. His judgment was respected and his conduct never questioned; he never had a trial or difficulty with any person in the Church.

Biography of Joseph Kimball
By Clark Kimball
My father, Joseph Kimball, was born December 22, 1851, and was the son of Heber C. and Presendia Huntington Kimball, being the only son of that union.
At the age of 18, Joseph married Lathilla Pratt, daughter of Orson Pratt. They moved to Bear Lake where Joseph went into the cattle business. While there he was bishop of the Meadowville Ward for a period of 20 years.
They later moved to Logan to enable their children to attend school more conveniently, and then to Salt Lake where Joseph took a position with the Studebaker Company. AT a later date he became president of the Beaver Irrigation Company in which capacity he made several business trips to New York, Washington and several other Eastern cities.
Thirteen children were born to Joseph and Lathilla, each one of whom grew to maturity. In 1896, Raymond, the eldest son and his family moved to Canada for the purpose of colonizing. I made the trip with them, being only 14 years of age at the time. A year later, 4 other brothers, Earnest, Orson, Alma, and Oliver joined us. The five of us formed a company and obtained a contract to build a large irrigation canal. Each of us took up a homestead about 10 miles from Cardston and bought up land around there. We established a township which was named Kimball after the Kimball brothers. Later, the Kimball brothers all moved away, some settling in Idaho, and some in Utah.
In 1910, Orson died, leaving a wife and two children. In 1916, Alma was killed in a snowslide, leaving a wife and seven children. In 1925, Louie, the eldest daughter died. She was the mother of ten children, and in her early married life had fulfilled a mission in Tasmania with her husband, Lysander Pond. While there, her first two children were born, the oldest being named Tasmania. Louie was president of the Young Ladies Mutual Improvement Association in Pocatello, Idaho, and later was president of the Relief Society in Nampa, Idaho.
Out of the children still living, Florence, Pearl, Jean, and myself live in Salt Lake. Raymond, Earnest, Oliver, Ethel, and Willard, live in San Diego, California, and Pratt lives in Los Angeles, California. Pearl has played quite a prominent role in the music circles of the Church, and Willard is President of the San Diego Stake.
Joseph Kimball died in 1936, after having lived a very eventful life. His wife Lathilla, is still living, a splendid example of what Mormonism can do for an individual. Her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, numbering several hundred, love her because she is the same sweet mother she has always been, ready to cheer and comfort them at all times.
