He then came to America. He taught for a short time near Hamilton, Ohio, then at Cincinnati and afterwards, from 1853 to 1858 at Lexington Cynthiana and Nicholasville. In 1858 he accempted a position in Shelbyville (Ky.).
He was married to Miss Florence Norvell, of Virginia, Dec. 1, 1964. Four children were born of this union. Mrs. Kinkel died April 12, 1878. Mr. Kinkel remained in Shelbyville, with the exception of about two years spent in St. Louis, and was one of its leading and most enterprising citizens. He was a fertile writer, and his compositions, which are of a popular order, are known and played throughout the land. Mr. Kinkel was a self-maid man, and owed his success in life to his sterling qualities. He was an indulgent father, a considerate neighbor and a true citizen. He was sixty years of age at the time of his death [July 12, 1891].[1]
