Mrs. David Kinneson, of Canoe died Wednesday, the 23d. We have not the particulars of her life but she was over 80 yours old and had lived in Canoe more than 40 years. She was a member of the Advent church—a true Christian woman—always willing to help the needy. She has been in poor health for a number of years, but for the last few months it was apparent to her friends that she could not last long. Although they knew they could not keep her long all feel sad and mourn her death. Their loss was her gain. She leaves one son, four daughters, a number of grandchildren and great- grandchildren. A more complete obituary may appear next week.

DIED.
KINNESON—At her home near Burr Oak. Iowa, Mrs. Henriette Kinneson aged 83 yrs., 3 months and 21 days,
Henriette Kelley was born In Pike County., Ohio. Jan. 22, 1819, and was married to David Kinneson Aug. 22d, 1839. They moved to Greene Co., Wis., in the fall of 1844 where they lived for five years or until 1849, when they came to Frankville, Iowa, and the following March, 1850, moved onto the place where she resided at her death. Eight children were born to them. Two boys and one girl with the father preceded her to the grave. Five are left to mourn the loss of a mother. Sister Kinneson was a firm christian and was held in very high esteem by all who knew her. She was well versed in the Bible and up to her last sickness, which was of short duration, could discuss the deep things of God's word, having heard and read the Prophecies and showed that she had given some attention to those things. Her mind was clear up to the last. She could describe the scene of 1833 when the copious showers of stars fell and said she was frightened at the sight and hid her face from view. She gave her heart to the Lord early in life and lived out the principles of Christianity. She longed for rest from toll and pain and on April 23d, 1902, fell on sleep.

Home is not home, for mother is not there;
Dark is her room, empty is her chair;
Now will she rest from her labor and care,
Till the morning so fair.
CHILDREN.

Words of comfort were spoken by the undersigned from 1st Thess. 4:18. The pastor of the M. L. church was present and assisted in the service. She was laid to rest in the Burr Oak cemetery. J. M. DICK.

Transcriber’s Note: Her name is spelled two different ways. Her gravestone shows Henrietta Kinnison.
