Mrs. George Kinnard, Jr., died with typhoid fever Thursday [5 Jan 1893] night of this week. This death is a sad blow to the young husband and two children [Hattie Kinnard, born 13 February 1890 and Edward Kinnard, born 5 April 1892.] Mrs. Kinnard was a kind hearted, estimable lady, and her early death is generally deplored.

Anna O. Hansen was born 25 Aug 1863 in Wisconsin to Hans and Guri Thorsen. She and George Kinnard were married in Estherville. She was buried in Wallingford Lutheran cemetery. [Edward was adopted by Albion and Elizabeth Graham Ridley. He died December 8, 1936 in Bellingham, Whatcom Co., WA.]
