MRS. J.H. KINZIE CLAIMED BY DEATH

Was Among Earlier Settlers in Haxtun Community and An Active Church Worker

Mrs. J.H. Kinzie, one of the older residents of the Haxtun community, died at the family home here last Thursday afternoon, August 13, just four days after friends and relatives gathered at her home to assist her in celebrating her 74th birthday anniversary.

Funeral services for Mrs. Kinzie were held from the Church of the Brethren Sunday afternoon, by her pastor, who read the following obituary:

Emily Ann Patterson was born in Franklin County, Virginia, August 19, 1857 and died at the family home in Haxtun, August 13, 1931, at the age of 74 years and four days.

She grew to womanhood in her Virginia home and moved to Kansas in 1881 with Uncle Joe and Aunt Martha Flora, with whom she made her home. She was united in marriage with Joel H. Kinzie November 26, 1882, at Appanoose, Kansas. It was there they began their home-making venture which lasted almost 49 years.

They moved to Sterling, Colorado in September, 1891 and nine years later they homesteaded four miles west of Haxtun and lived there until 1919, when they moved into town where they have since resided.

To them were born eight children. They are: Dr. J.W. Kinzie, of Haxtun; Clark W. Kinzie, of Sterling; Mrs. Effie Clark, of Haxtun; Miss Maude Kinzie, of Haxtun; Mrs. Mattie Gale, of Pueblo; Mrs. Pearl Kyger, of Haxtun; Mrs. Mary Schnell, of Filer, Idaho; Fred Kinzie, of Spindale, North Carolina; one foster daughter, Mrs. Agnes Kipp. There are also 21 grandchildren. These, with the husband, Joel H. Kinzie, are all living and are left to mourn the departure of a loving wife and mother. There are also many other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Kinzie united with the Church of the Brethren while a young woman and continued faithful until death.

She and her husband were among the early members of the Haxtun church and they have labored hard to help the church succeed. She was given to much hospitality and always had a warm welcome for all.

She was an interested helper to her husband in his ministry. Though her health had been poor most of her life time, it seemed that she was specially spared to rear her large family to manhood and womanhood. As long as her strength permitted she was an active worker in the Aid society and the W.C.T.U. and was always interested in worthwhile things of life. This is the first death to come to this favored family.
