IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Emma Westbrook Kinnaird, 62 years of age, died at 4:15 o'clock Thursday morning, November 28, 1940, at the Bastrop General Hospital. Mrs. Kinnaird has been in failing heath for almost four years with creeping paralysis, and had been a bed-fast invalid for the past two years. Her death did not come as a surprise to her many friends and relatives.
"Miss Emma" is survived by her husband, a large family of children, four brothers, other relatives and a large host of friends who mourn her going.
"Miss Emma," as she was affectionately call by young and old alike, was a true Christian, having united with the Methodist Church at Extra when a mere slip of a girl. She was cheerful to the very end and never complained because she had faith in her Heavenly Father and looked forward to going home to glory. Her bright smile and kind cheerful words will live in the hearts of those who knew and loved her best, long after her image has faded from their memory. Miss Emma is gone from or midst; but we are assured because we know that our loss is Heaven's gain.
A large cortege followed her remains from the Robinson Funeral Home to Extra where on Friday afternoon, November 29, 1940, she was laid to rest midst one of the largest crowds ever gathered at this little country church. The many beautiful floral pieces paid tribute to the love and esteem in which she was held by all who knew her.
