The Prairie City community was shocked last Saturday afternoon at the sudden death of J. H. Blinn. He was down town in the afternoon, visiting with friends and in usual health. Suddenly he complained of feeling ill and his son Volney Blinn took him home where he had a sinking spell. A doctor was called and he revived and sat on the edge of his couch and joked with the doctor and members of the family. In an hour he took another sinking spell and never revived. His death was due to heart disease.
The last few years he suffered greatly. Following an infection both legs were amputated. He went through the ordeal with a cheerfulness.
Throughout his long residence near Prairie City he was known as a splendid citizen and is mourned by many who knew him and particularly by those with whom he held a close friendship.
He was born in Missouri May 18, 1871 and came west when a small boy with his parents and settled on the Galbraith place in 1878. On December 31, 1891 he married Mary Meador, and three children were born to this union two besides the widow survive: Mrs. J. S. Boggs of Winchester, Idaho and Volney Blinn of Prairie City, also four grandchildren and two brothers, Earl Blinn of Portland and Fred Blinn of Prairie City.
Funeral was largely attended and interment in the Prairie City cemetery.
