The Examiner says of her: “She was the daughter of Rev. Samuel S. Day, the founder of the Telugu mission, and was born at Nellore, India. She came to Homer, N.Y. in 1846, where she passed her school days, and from which place she went out to fill prominent positions as a teacher. She married Amos L. Kinney of Truxton May 27, 1884, and has since resided in Truxton. She has been an active worker in the Baptist church since early childhood, always manifesting special interest in the missionary cause. She leaves a sister, Mary M.

A woman of remarkable sweetness of character and disposition, she passed sweetly to her rest about 1 o’clock p.m. May 4.
