Mary Eleanor Kinney
Mary Eleanor Harbison was born at Wiliamsburg, Pennsylvania, Dec. 14, 1851, and died March 17, 1916. When a child she came with her parents to Odell, Illinois. In 1875, January 26, she was married to James J. Kinney. They came to Gage County, Nebraska, in 1880, where they resided until 1896, and moved from there to York county where they lived 5 years. They then moved to Greeley County and resided on a farm between Spaulding and Greeley, where they resided for a period of 1 year. In 1902 they Came to Wheeler County where they have since resided.
Mrs. Kinney was brought to Spaulding on Feb. 8, and was taken to the home of her son, Martin Kinney, where everything that willing and loving hands and medical aid could do was done. She was first taken sick with the grippe which affected her heart causing leakage of the heart. All of the children with the exception of Ed Kinney of San Francisco, and Mrs. Agnes Schaubel of Oswego, Oregon, were at her bedside when the end came. A sister, Gertrude Harbison was with her for several weeks and assisted in taking care of her, and a brother, John Harbison of Cheyenne, Wyoming was also present.
Funeral services were held Saturday morning at St. Micheal's church. Requiem High Mass was said by Father Daley.
The husband and nine children are left to mourn her departure: Joe, Martin, George, Bernard, Paul, Ed, Alice, Mrs. Agnes Schauble, Mrs. Gertrude Rummell.
Mrs. Kinney was a loving wife and mother, and by her kind hand and sweet disposition and was endeared to all who knew her. She, with her husband, endured the hardships of the early pioneer. She was a patient sufferer, and bore the long illness with great fortitude.
The many friends of the family extend their deepest sympathy.

Obituary
Mrs. J J. Kinney Called Home
Passed away at the home of her son, Martin Kinney, after a long illness, Friday, March 17, 1916.
Mass at the Catholic Church. Leakage of the heart after severe attack of La grippe cause of death.
Mrs. James Joseph Kinney after an illness of several weeks departed this life, Friday, March 17, 1916, at the home of her son Martin Kinney in this city, aged 65 years, 3 months, and 3 days.
Funeral services were held from St. Micheal's church Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock, Rev. Father Daly conducting the services. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in Mt. Calvary, Cemetery.
Mary Eleanor Harbison was born December 14, 1851, at Williamsburg, Pennsylvania. She moved with her parents to Odell, Livingston County, Illinois where she married to James J. Kinney January 26,1875. To this union were born 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, all of whom with the aged husband survive to mourn her departure, and all live here except 2. The children are, namely: Mrs. Agnes Schaubel, Oswego, Oregon: Ed Kinney, San Francisco, California: Martin, Joe, George, Paul, Bernard, and Alice Kinney, and Mrs. Gertrude Rummell,
of Spaulding.
The deceased removed to Gage County, Nebraska, in 1880, where they settled on a farm. 5 years later they came to Greeley County and lived on a farm near Greeley. The following year they removed to Wheeler County, where in 1904 Mr. Kinney took a homestead and the family moved thereon the next spring where they lived until her demise.
Coming to Nebraska in the early days when all west of the Missouri river was considered by those in the east uninhabitable for white people, Mrs. Kinney deserves a place in American history for turning this into a veritable garden of vegetation. Though her position in life was humble, it is to the pioneer settlers, such as this brave woman, we owe for the happiness and contentment we now enjoy in this fair state. It was the hardy pioneer, male and female, that blazed the way for succeeding generations. It was they who subdued the wild prairies and made the wilderness blossom with domestic plants and human life, and yet we seldom pause to think of the many hardships experienced by these brave people.
Mrs. Kinney was a lifelong member of the Catholic church and was an earnest worker in the church. She was a kind and loving wife and a devoted mother, and though her suffering during the past 7 weeks was intense she bore her afflictions patiently and uncomplainingly.
The heartfelt sympathy of the whole community is extended to the bereaved family in this, their sad hour of affliction.
