Mary A. Kinney was born in Augusta County, Virginia, on March 1, 1847, and moved with her parents to Grant County, Kentucky, where they lived until 1882, when she moved with her brothers to Scotland County, Mo., where she resided until the time of her death, which was on Feb. 12, 1899. At the aged of nineteen she was stricken with rheumatism which rendered her helpless and for forty-five years she had been an invalid, but notwithstanding her helpless condition she never failed when possible to impress the divine principles of christianity upon her friends. She loved her church much and found joy in planning and working for its upbuilding. For nearly forty years she lived a loyal christian life as a member of the M.E. Church, South. She lived as only the christian can. She rests from her pains and labors but her works abide. May the Lord comfort and bless her brothers and sister and bring them at last to met sister Mary who has gone before.
We sometimes wonder why our Lord doth place us
Within a sphere so narrow, so obscure,
That nothing we call work can find an entrance,
There's only room to suffer, to endure.
Well, God loves patience! Souls that dwell in stillness-
Doing the little things, or resting quite,
May just as perfectly fulfill their mission,
Be just as useful in the Father's sight. R.F.C.
