married to Zurilda Ann Sanders
The funeral of John Kinney, of Ridgeway, was held at the home of his daughter, Mrs A L Reed, last Sunday afternoon. It was conducted by Rev J E Everett, who read the following obituary:
John Kinney was born August 20, 1832, at Pittsfield, Pike Co, Illinois, and died at Ridgeway, Kansas, November 22, 1918, aged 86 years, 3 months and 2 days.
Mr Kinney and his brother Aaron, left Illinois and migrated to Kansas and to this neighborhood April 1855. Aaron settled on what is now the Wiley farm, and his brother then single lived with him, an arrangement that continued until 1860, when on February 12th of that year, John Kinney was married to Miss Zurilda Ann Sanders.
The couple settled that spring on the place that is now regarded by the family as the old homestead. Sometime in the 60's they moved to Iowa, where, however, they lived for only about three years.
Mrs Kinney died July 19, 1898. Since that time Mr Kinney has made his home with his daughter, Mrs A L Reed, and family on the old home place.
Ten children were born to Mr and Mrs Kinney, three dying in infancy. The others all survive their father. They are Mrs John Atchison, Mrs G M Hart, F O Kinney, Mrs E E Tyner, and Mrs A M Hart, all of Overbrook; and A E Kinney and Mrs A L Reed, both of Ridgeway.
Besides these there are living of Mr Kinney's near relatives, two half sisters, Mrs Julia McClintock, of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs Sarah Wagoner, of Louisiana, Mo.; and one half brother, Thomas Beaven, of Fryanna (Farina), Illinois. There are also eighteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Mr Kinney, though he lived to an unusual age, was to the last strong in mind and body. Indeed in mental qualities he had been uncommonly endowed by nature, and his strong faculties seemed unimpaired to the end.
He had a wonderful memory and could narrate events occuring during his long life in detail giving dates without hesitation.He was interested in passing events. he followed the progress of affairs that make a new history. on the last day of his life he read the newspaper with interest.
He was a man of strong peronality, he had firm opinions and was independent in thought and action. He will be remembered as an outstanding character with positive traits.
In the death of Mr Kinney the community loses one of its few remaining old settlers whose migration to Kansas was in the 1850's. Those who came here in that early day were hardy men and women, being often adventurous in disposition. They were men and women of aggressive temperment, and did not shrink from privation and hardship. They were not seeking easy places.
It was sixty-three years ago that Mr Kinney came to this neighborhood. There were then few people living here. There were practically no conveniences. There were no stores and no markets in cities. The settlers had no wealth save the wealth of vigor and courage and ambition and hope that they brought with them.
Some of us our proud that our parents belonged to that class. We are proud that of their generation they were the ones whohad the enterprise and fearlessness to leave the tried for the untried, the ssttled East for the wilds of the West, in respomse to the urgings of hope and prompting of youthful vision.
A man of this sort was John Kinney back in 1855, a hardy emigrant, a pathfinder, going before while the timid lagged behind, a sturdy pioneer, living the lonely life where in years following multitudes would joyously mingle.
To such our thanks are due because they were the forerunners, clearing away and building up, and making possible the civilization of today in this western land and the lappy conditions that we in this later generation enjoy.
And we but do credit to ourselves in honoring their memory as we today honor the menory of John Kinney.
The remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife in the ridgeway cemetery, Sunday November 24, 1918.
