ANCESTORS
On her mother's side, Lydia Alta "Allie" Kinney was descended from the Kingerys and Emmerts who had emigrated from Maryland to Illinois in the early 1840s.
Allie's grandmother was born Barbara Emmert, and her family came to British Colonial America from the Bavarian region of the Holy Roman Empire in 1732, settling initially among the many Pennsylvania Dutch of Bethel and Lancaster Counties. Allie's second and third great-grandfather, Leonard Emmert and Johann Jorg Friedrich "George" Emmert respectively, were Patriots during the American Revolution. After moving to Washington County, Maryland 1798, Leonard Emmert would be instrumental in the expansion of the Schwarzenau Brethren church into Maryland, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Allie's maternal grandfather, Jacob Kingery, fought the British during the War of 1812. But his widow and sons had to abandon Maryland for Illinois in the early 1840s when they lost their farm near Sharpsburg, Maryland in an intra-family inheritance dispute.
Allie's father, George Albert Kinney, was a Civil War cavalry veteran whose family had been in upstate New York since at least 1800. George came to Illinois as a boy with his uncles after his mother died young, and when his father was unable to care for George and his siblings.
After the war George Kinney married Allie's mother in 1874, the ceremony being performed by Annie Kingery's uncle, the Brethren Pastor John J. Kingery.
ALLIE'S YOUTH
When Allie Kinney was born on Tuesday, March 16, 1880, in Salem Township, Carroll County, Illinois, it was in the farm home of the 75-acre going concern that had been a wedding gift to Allie's parents by Allie's maternal grandfather, David E. Kingery (1822-1895).
Allie had two older sisters: Mary Louise "Lulu" born in 1875; and Myrtle "Mirtie Mae" born in 1877. A girl child born in 1879 did not live a year. A younger sister, Mabel Clare, was born in 1883. Finally, a baby boy born in 1886 also died in infancy.
Allie was just 11 years old when her mother died in 1891 soon after the family had sold their farm and resettled in Rolla, Missouri.
The remaining Kinneys returned to Carroll County where Allie's father was remarried to Catherine "Kate" Shibley in 1896. Allie's father and his new bride moved back to Missouri, but Lulu, Mirtie Mae, and Mabel stayed in Illinois.
Allie's big sister, Lulu, married Charles W. Schriner in 1895 in Mount Carroll.
Allie finished high school in Mount Carroll, living with Lulu and her husband in Mount Carroll. She went on to attend teacher training at the nearby Frances Shimer Academy (formerly the Mount Carroll Seminary).
ADULTHOOD
In 1906, 26-year-old Allie had graduated from her college course of study, and was hired by the Union School in Mount Carroll for the 1906 school term. In that same year, Allie's sister, Mirtie May, married into a prominent local family when she married Dr. Samuel Phillip Colehour, Jr.
Allie left her hometown and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where the 1910 census found her living in the Raymond Hotel downtown and teaching public school.
Within a few years, Allie had moved again, this time to Southern California. A city directory for 1914 showed Allie living at 229 West 42nd in Los Angeles but working as a clerk, not as a teacher. (Since California had adopted unusually strict teacher credentialing standards after 1899, perhaps Allie may have underestimated the difficulty of landing a teaching job there?)
When she was 35, Allie married a 38-year-old Irish immigrant named John T. Kinnane on October 30, 1915 in the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Santa Ana, Orange County, California. John had emigrated to the United States in about 1900, worked in a flour mill, and lacked formal education.
Allie apparently never taught school again after her marriage, and never had children.
Allie and John took up residence in a walk-up apartment in the Huntington Park area of Los Angeles. The area around that home would become our family's Los Angeles nucleus as more kinfolk arrived from Illinois.
A FULL HOUSE
By 1920, Allie's Huntington Park apartment also housed her sister Lulu, as well as Allie's young nieces, Maurine and Alta. Lulu had left her husband, Charles W. Schriner, behind in Illinois. Lulu and Charles never divorced, but neither did they ever reconcile.
WIDOWHOOD
Allie's husband died in 1935 at the age of 58. Both of Lulu's daughters were married by then, so Allie moved in with her sister and stayed there until at least 1938.
In about 1939, Allie married a Maine native named Peter Paul Corbin. Mr. Corbin was previously married in Minnesota to a divorcee, Sophie Clara (Lavallee) Trepanier (1876–1938), and was stepfather to her nine children.
O DEATH
Allie died in 1948 at the age of 68. Although she was evidently still married to Mr. Corbin when she passed away, Allie was buried beside John Kinnane, and their graves were marked with matching bronze plaques.
