With the exception of one year all of his early life was lived there. In March of 1918 he, with his family, moved to a farm near Arcadia in Valley county, Nebraska. It was on this same farm that he lived until the time of his departure from the earthly life on January 3, 1954. In 1911 Mr. Kingston was united in marriage to Lynda O. Kaliff. To this union were born four sons; Frank Morris, who is now serving his country in Korea; Delivan Russell of Arcadia; Orin William of Arcadia; and an infant son who died at birth.

In addition, he was a faithful and active member of the Masonic Gauge Lodge No. 208 of Arcadia. Left to grieve his departure are is wife, Lynda, his three sons, Morris, Delivan, and Orin, his two grandchildren, Linda Ann and Duane Lee Kingston, and a great host of relatives and friends.
