George Hazard Kimberly was related to the Meneely family through his sister's marriage to Clinton's oldest brother, Edwin A. Meneely. The Meneely & Kimberly foundry was located on the east side of River Street, between Washington and Adams. This was the third bellfoundry in Troy, and was located less than a block from the Jones foundry, which was then being operated by Octavous Jones. Meneely & Kimberly cast their first bell in January 1871, and shipped it to the Catholic Church of St.John the Evangelist, Spencerport, NY. The last bell from the foundry was shipped to St.Martin's College, Olympia, WA, in April 1951. This foundry is one of a very few for which production records have survived. In this case, they are apparently complete (though only in abbreviated form), and we have done a superficial statistical analysis, which is available here.
The interconnections between the Meneelys and their partners and the several Hanks bellfounders and industrialists are shown in a different manner on a Hanks genealogy page.
