Mt. Nebo, June 28 - A pale of sadness overspread our entire community on last Tuesday morning, June 22, when it was announced that Mrs. Jane Kinzer was numbered among the dead. She suffered intensely with fever for a week only, when death came to release her. She had almost lived out her three score years and ten, and was generally known as a model christian woman, an ornament to any community. This loss is only heaven's gain. She was laid to rest at old Mt. Nebo, beneath a mound covered in lovely flowers, tributes of love from those who were her friends in life. She leaves behind a husband, Mr. G. Whit Kinzer, and five sons and daughters -- Mrs. Mattie Ladd of Water Valley, Mrs. Dr. Joyce, and Messrs. Marshall and Webb Kinzer of Sawdust, and Dr. John Kinzer of Ripley, West Tennessee. May God comfort them in their hour of trouble, and may they strive to meet and clasp hands with mother on the other shore. -- Columbia Herald, 2 July, 1897.
