From The Caney Weekly Times, 28 Aug 1896:
DIED - In this city, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the residence of William Zinn, Mrs. Catherine Zinn, aged 80 years.
'Grandma' Zinn was born in Kentucky January 1, 1816. She was left a widow about 11 years ago. She moved from Kentucky to Missouri in 1853, where she lived until about one year ago, when she came to visit her sons and daughters who live at this place, some at Elk City and Longton and one son in the Territory; also her nephew, Wm. Martin, who lives on Cheyenne, northeast of town.
The remains were shipped yesterday to Butler, Bates county, Mo., for interment. Her sons, John and George Zinn, and her son-in-law, Samuel Ruble, of Elk City, accompanied the remains to their last resting place.

Catherine Zinn was born in Ky, Jan 1st, 1816. The family moved to Vermillion Co, Ind. She was married to Merit Zinn Dec 26, 1833. They moved to Clay Co, Ills; and from there to Bates Co, where they bought a farm three miles north and half a mile east of Va, where she spent 43 years of her life. Her husband died Jan 22, 1885. Since his death she has lived a part of the time with her son, William, and daughter, Mrs John Furgeson. Last spring she went to spend the summer with her son, Wm, at Kania [sic], Kan, where she died Aug 26, 1896. She and her husband were faithful members of the old school Baptist church. Bates Co was thinly settled at that time. Mother Zinn was a hard worker and lived to see her children grown up and settled in life. She lived to see her 80th birthday. To her memory we would say:
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Though no more will join our number,
Though no more our sorrow know,
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
