"Taken Home for Burial - Today at noon the remains of Mrs. Mary E. FINK were placed aboard the east-bound Union Pacific train and started on their journey to Jacksonville, Ills., where they will be interred. Short services were held at the house by Rev. W.H. ZIMMERMAN in the forenoon; a number of friends were present. Mrs. FINK was a lady of much energy and executive ability and she will be sorely missed by the members of her family. The deceased was born in Jacksonville, Ills., in the year 1844 and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John HEWSON, of that city, and sister of Mrs. James A. COOK. She was married to Mr. J. T. DUCKWORTH in the year 1863, with whom she lived most happily until the year 1875 when his death occurred. Seven children were born to them; four are now living, Frank M., Evelyn Q., Lovella C. and Estella Q. In the year 1878 she was again married to Mr. J. H. FINK with whom she came to Kansas where she has since lived. Two children were born to them of whom one is now living, Maude F. FINK. She was a member of the M.E. church and was ready to go when the Master called her. The remains were accompanied on their last sad journey by F. M. DUCKWORTH who will return immediately after the funeral." (Abilene (KS) Daily Reflector of 3/26/1889).
