OBITUARY: Splendid Tribute Paid Mrs. Kenney; Solemn and impressive funeral services were held here last Saturday for Mrs. Esther Kenney, the estimable woman who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Merle Kinsey at Bingham, Sunday evening, March 21. The chapel was filled to capacity with sorrowing friends and the services, together with the profusion of floral offerings made by friends from near and far, made a deep impression on those present and eyes were dimmed with tears of sorrow. The services were under the direction of Bishop C. E. Peterson, and were opened with the singing of "Come Unto Jesus" by a selected choir. Following the invocation by E. W. crane, Ernest Swalberg, former bishop of Gunnison impressively sang, "Face to Face." Other appropriate musical selections during the services were a violin solo by S. C. Willardson, a vocal solo "When I Leave the World Behind," by James C. Jensen, and the closing hymn by the choir, "Beautiful Zion Built Above." Dr. C. E. West and Bishop Conrad Peterson of this city, and Bishop Edwin Sorenson of Aurora, were among the speakers. The life of Mrs. Kenney, which was that of happiness and some adversities, was beautifully portrayed by the several speakers. Her devotion and love for her children, her charitable disposition, her high character were lauded and her life was set as an example for others. Mrs. Kenney was an ardent member of the church and she faithfully lived her belief, and in her death, friends and relatives mourned her untimely calling. Following the services at the church the remains were taken to the east cemetery where they were tenderly laid to the final resting place. Preceding the funeral cortege was the automobile bearing the floral offerings. The carriage was filled with beautiful tokens of love and respect and marked the high esteem held for the one who has passed to the great unknown.
buried Mar 27, 1926
