Deceased had lived here for a quarter of a century and the news of her sudden and unexpected death was received with much surprised regret.

In September 1886 she and family moved to Bevier and have since made their home here.
Deceased was converted when sixteen years old, and was baptized and united with the Christian church, and on coming to Bevier Christian church, of which she remained to the close of her life a faithful and zealous member. She was a devout christian woman, her life always consistent with the teachings of christianity, ernest sincere and steadfast. She was a kind neighbor, helpful and sympathetic, a loving faitful wife and devoted, wise mother, and she will be greatly missed not only in her home but in all circles of her life.
She had been afflicted for years with heart disease and was subject to severe attacks. She was stricken with an attack last Saturday but got some better. Sunday shortly after noon she had another attack, and as a result of her weakened condition, it proved fatal, and she passed away at 1 o'clock.
To mourn her death are left a husband and six children, three sons and three daughters. They are: Owen McKinstry, residing at Brookfield; Mrs. Lucy Snodgrass, Keota; J. O. McKinstry, Brookfield; John C. McKinstry, who has been for several years in the Philippine Islands, serving his country in the United States army; Mrs. Ivy Jones, Bevier; Mrs. Eliza Bright, Novelty.
To the sorrow stricken husband and children is extended the deep sympathy of all in their great bereavement and affliction.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, and a large number of people gathered on the occasion to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of the departed. The services were held at the Chrisitan church, of which as stated above she had been a member since it was organized, and the building was well filled. The services were conducted by F. D. Jones, who in his discourse paid a high tribute to the departed as a devout christian and worthy woman. At the grave in the Bevier cemetery a hymn was rendered and F. D. Jones offered a prayer.
The pallbearers were Joseph Evans, John J. Daniels, Orrie and Jess Bright, A. O. MAcy, John McCarty.
Among the relatives present at the funeral from out of town were Mrs. S. C. Snodgrass and husband and children, Keota; O. W. McKinstry and wife, J. O.
