Death of Miss Pinkie ChinnMiss Pinkie McGrew Chinn died Thursday night at 9:00 o'clock at her home, Sixteenth and Main streets, after an illness of several days of irritation of the stomach and bowels with complications.
Miss Chinn was taken sick on Tuesday, July 24, following a trip to Kansas City on the preceding Monday. Her condition was critical from the first and all efforts on the part of her attending physician were of no avail.
The death of Miss Chinn was received with sorrow by all who knew her. She was decidedly a home body and gave her time and attention to those about her, especially to her aged grandmother, her sisters and her sister's children. She was devoted to them and found her chief pleasure in providing for their wants and entertainment. Her unselfishness found sway in other homes where its members will not soon forget the many kindnesses she did. She was a life long member of the Christian church. Her life was one of service. Who could do more?
Miss Chinn was the daughter of the late Buford A. Chinn. She was born in Lexington, May 27, 1884, and was educated here and in the schools of Columbia and Liberty.
The survivors are her grandmother, Mrs. Joseph G. Chinn, and two sisters, Mrs. George Colburn, Harrisonville, Mo., and Mrs. R.W. Gentry, Winfield, Kansas.
The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Carl Burkhart her former pastor, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Richard W. Wallace, the present pastor of the Christian church.
