He was born in Morgan County, Illinois, one of a large family of sixteen children. At the age of twenty-one he was married, moving to Kansas, where he worked an eighty-acre farm. He remarried in Illinois after the death of his first wife, and in 1901 he came up to this district to visit three of his brothers, Benjamin, Samuel and James, of the town which now bears their name. Taking a liking to the country, he returned to Kansas, gathered up his livestock, machinery and moved his family up to the Lacombe district. Arriving in Lacombe in 1903, Mr. Rimbey immediately settled on his quarter-second farm, and within a short time he had the land cleared and broken. Mr. Rimbey has recollections of large yields off his present land, stating that one year he threshed 115 bushels of oats to the acre. Since his settlement in this district, Mr. Rimbey has always been an active supporter of the United Church of Lacombe. He has two children living, his married daughter living at Portland, Oregon, and his married son in Illinois. Western Globe, November 4, 1937, page 2 Alberta Death Reg. #1940-08-407061
