DR. J.W. KINZIE DIES IN GREELEY; RITES HELD TUESDAY

Dr. John W. Kinzie, 83, who had resided in Haxtun for the past 63 years, passed away at a hospital in Greeley after a few days critical illness. Dr. Kinzie had been in failing health for the past year, but was able to be up and about. In company with Mrs. Kinzie and their son, George, he was returning to Haxtun from a trip to Lyons. They had stopped at Ault to visit a friend, Mrs. Smith, and while there, Dr. Kinzie became ill and was taken to a Greeley hospital, where death occurred Saturday, May 25.

Dr. Kinzie came to Colorado in 1891 from Kansas with his parents and lived in the Sterling and Iliff communities for a few years before moving to Haxtun in 1900. He was born August 22, 1879, at Roanoke, Virginia, the son of Joel and Emily Paterson* Kinzie. On December 28, 1904 he was married to Miss Winnie Frost at Beaver City, Nebraska.

He received osteopathic training at Kirksville, Missouri and later attended medical schools at Kansas City, Missouri and Los Angeles, California. Dr. Kinzie was a member of Haxtun Lodge No. 154, A.F.&A.M., and the Haxtun Odd Fellows lodge.

Dr. Kinzie is survived by his wife, Winnie, a daughter, Mrs. Josephine Pollock of Denver; a son, George Kinzie, of Lyons; four sisters, Mrs. Effie Clark of Haxtun, Miss Maude Kinzie and Mrs. Pearl Kyger of Denver, and Mrs. Mary Snell of Filer, Idaho; a brother, Fred Kinzie of Spindale, North Carolina, two grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10:00 o'clock from the First Methodist Church with Rev. Virgil Weimer, pastor of the Church of the Brethren in charge. Pallbearers were Lloyd Atkins, Veylord Baker, A.B. Dunbar, J.A. Goddard, Fred Swisher and Reginald Meakins. Roy Fleming was usher.

Music was furnished by Miss Nancy Starkebaum, organist, and Miss Betty Sullivan, soloist, who sang, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," and I'll Walk With God."

The Radford Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements and graveside services were in charge of the Haxtun Masonic lodge with burial in the Haxtun cemetery.

Among the out-of-town people who came from a distance to attend the funeral were Fred Kinzie, Spindale, North Carolina; Mrs. Homer Snell, Filer, Idaho; Mr. and Mrs. Ira Kyger, Miss Maude Kinzie, Mr. and Mrs. James Bogess, Mrs. Josephine Pollock and Mrs. Eddie Botel, all of Denver; Mrs. Claude Cheatum and her daughter and four children of Pueblo; Mrs. Helen Nicholson of Greeley; Mrs. Smith of Ault, and Mr. and Mrs. Willard of Wyoming.
