FRANK A. KIME

     Among the leading stockmen of the western part of Malheur county must be
mentioned the Kime brothers, of which firm the subject of this sketch is the
senior member.  He is a man of ability and enterprise and ranks well with his
fellows.  Frank A. was born in Sierra county, California, on September 21, 1867,
being the son of David and Nancy (Zimmerman) Kime.  The father was a carpenter
and miner and died on September 21, 1876.  He had crossed the plains with ox
teams in 1860 from the state of Iowa to California, and in 1865 he returned to
the states and in the spring of 1866 he came via Panama with his wife, locating
in California until the time of his death. Subsequent to her husband's death
Mrs. Kime came to Oregon, locating the present place where the boys live, a half
section of land three miles east from Westfall, on Bully creek.  After proving
up Mrs. Kime went to dwell in Caldwell, where she has a fine residence, and
lives a retired life from the cares of business, while her interests are looked
after by her sons.  The farm place is mostly meadow, well supplied with water
and has good buildings.
     The brother of our subject is John M. Kime, born April 13, 1875, in Sierra
county, California.  He was married on January 20, 1902, to Martha Kincker.
     The subject of this article was married August 12, 1900, to Mrs. Margretha
(Kucker) Kime.  To them has been born one child, David M.  By her former husband
Mrs. Kime has three children, William H., Harry P. and Albert J.  Our subject
and his brother are in partnership in the stock business and while they have a
fine bunch of large horses, they also make a specialty of cattle, having a
goodly herd of them.  They are among the enterprising men in this important
industry and have manifested enthusiasm and skill that have placed them in the
ranks of the leaders, and they are highly esteemed among all who have the
pleasure of their acquaintance.
