Tarried
But a Little While
Hazel,
the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tine Kinney, died at their home in Bedford on
Friday, and was buried Saturday at Bedford cemetery. Short funeral services
were held at the house, conducted by Rev. Hendrickson.
Little Hazel was only a week old. Scarcely had she opened her eyes upon the
world when her soul was called hence, to share the glory of life eternal,
undefiled by contamination with this sinful world. While she was here but a few
short days, she had found such a place in the hearts of her parents that their
love could have been no greater had she lived for years. All sincerely
sympathize with them in their sorrow, which is made even greater by the fact
that their home is now childless and of the four little babes that have come to
them, not one has been spared.

tine kinney was INSTANTLY KILLED BY 30 foot fall
NECK BROKEN
AND BRAIN WAS INJURED. HE DIED IMMEDIATELY.
FELL FROM
POLE
Was
Working on Electric Light Line on Central Avenue on Friday Morning
Tine Kinney, 45 years of age was instantly killed at 10:15 Friday morning,
when he fell from the electric light pole in front of Snyder's Garage, striking
the pavement 30 feet below.
He and O. R. Toman, local manager of the Lee Electric Co., were
engaged in putting up some new wires. Toman was standing about 30 feet south of
the pole, and Kinney was working on the cross bar, second from the top of the pole. According to Mr.
Toman, and others who saw him fall, he was standing on the bar, and started to
change his position. Losing his balance, he tried to catch himself by grasping
the large wires fastened to the pole. He did so, and the wires not being
perfectly rigid, swung his body away from the pole, and he dropped to the
pavement. Seeing him start to fall, Toman rushed to the pole, but did not reach
the spot until the body had struck the bricks. The dying man drew but a few
breaths and expired immediately. Dr. Terrill had just driven his car up in
front of the battery station, and rushed to the dying man, but medical
assistance was of no avail. All the other doctors in the town came to the place
but of no use.
It was found that the injury, which caused his death, was a broken
neck, and some of the doctors also gave their opinion that his brain was
jellied as a result of the impact. He struck the pavement nearly flat on his
face.
A coroner's inquest was begun Saturday, and it is expected that
later it will be decided whether or not he had received a shock at the top of
the pole, which caused him to lose his balance. It is claimed that there were
marks and burns on his body.
The funeral was held at the Christian church Sunday, conducted by
Rev. Price. The local camp of the Modern Woodmen formed a guard of honor, and
had charge of the ceremonies at the grave. The following obituary was read by
Rev. Price:
Valentine, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. [eorge] B. Kinney, was born at Platteville, Iowa, Sept.
17, 1880. He was married at Bedford on February 9, 1903, to Myrtle Bean. To this union were born four
children, Hazel,
who died in infancy, twin sons, Harold and Gerald, 13 years of age, and Lois, 11. The children are now making their home with their
mother, Mrs. Fiber [Faber] of Des
Moines.
He is survived by his father and mother, and the following
sisters: Mrs. Olive Woodard of Bedford; Sarah Leonard of St. Joseph; Emma Green of Bedford; May Guthrie of Omaha; one sister, Bird Kinney, died in 1908. He is also survived by
the following half brothers: John Kinney of Villisca; Will Kinney of Woodruff, Kans., and Will
Brookover. He has a
half sister, Rose Pomeroy, of the state of Washington.
The following
out-of-town relatives attended the funeral: Mrs. Guthrie of Omaha, Will Kinney of Woodruff, Kans.; Mrs. Leonard, and two daughters, of St. Joseph; John
King of Shenandoah,
and Will King of
Farragut.

TINE
KINNEY KILLED
BY FALL FROM POLL
Accident
Happened Friday, Was Helping String Electric Wire
Tine Kinney was instantly killed last Friday forenoon here in a fall from the
top of a 30-foot electric light pole near the Snyder Motor Co., garage.
He was engaged in helping O. R. Tolman, local manager for the Lee
Electric Company, string some new wires. He had just climbed to the top of the
pole and was standing on one of the top cross arms, when, according to several
men watching him, he shifted his feet on the cross arm and in doing so lost his
balance. Without uttering a cry or without apparent extra effort to catch
himself, he fell to the pavement, striking head down. His skull was crushed in
and his neck broken.
Dr. Terrell who happened to be near by was the first doctor at his
side and in a very short time every other doctor in town was there. Mr.
Kinney received a
shock from the wires before his fall.
The funeral services were conducted Sunday at the Christian church
and the following obituary was read by Rev. Price:
Valentine, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. [eorge] B. Kinney, was born at Platteville, Iowa, Sept.
7, 1880. He was married at Bedford February 9, 1903, to Myrtle Bean and to this union were born four

1985, 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Bedford, with Rev. Ted DeHass as
the minister. Burial was at the Shearer Cemetery near Braddyville.
Grandma Lincoln was welcomed to her heavenly home by her Lord Tuesday, March 12.
We rejoice with her at this homecoming.
Ione Elizabeth Jobe, daughter of Caleb and Carrie Conlin Jobe was born in Barnard, Missouri April
28, 1897. The Jobe family—Cale [Caleb] and Carrie, lone, Donna, Conlin
and Franklin moved to
the Siam community in 1908.
In 1923, Ione married Dean Damewood. They lived south of Siam where their two daughters, Wilma and Mary Lou, were born. In 1939, the Damewoods moved from the Siam area, but always
lived in Taylor County. Dean died in 1957.
In each community where Ione resided, she faithfully supported her Lord in his Church.
She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Bedford when her Savior called
her home. Her Christian service will especially be remembered for the
transportation she provided to the older generation and for her beautiful
flowers in the sanctuary. She was always willing to assist with nursery duty.
She loved the little ones. Grandma Lincoln was happiest when she could fill a need to serve.
Ione was a charter member of Highland Chapter #523 of the Order of Eastern Star of
Siam.
Ione and Elmer [Sanford] Lincoln were married in 1964, and to her
family she added his two children—Donald [Duane] Lincoln and his family and Dorthea [Dorothea]
Grant and her family.
Elmer's family was very special to her.
Grandma Lincoln was preceded in death by her husbands, Dean and Elmer, her parents, her brothers, Conlin and Franklin, and her son-in-law, Swede
Anderson.
Those who will miss her staunch support, her loyalty, and her love
and [are] her two daughters--Wilma Anderson and Mary Lou and husband Elvin Miller; also her sister and brother-in-law, Donna
and Stanley Damewood.
As all grandmas, she loved her grandchildren. She was never too
busy to sew a new dress, patch a pair of jeans, fix a special treat, or to
attend an event in which they were involved. She held a very special place in
their lives. She leaves a rich legacy of love and service to her
grandchildren--John Anderson; Jane and Randy Lewis; Marcia and Henry
Russell; Kathy and Jim Christensen; Rosie and Rick Bissell; Nancy and Steve
Davison; Jim Miller;
and Jean Miller.
Grandma Lincoln lived to love and enjoy her 13 great grandchildren: Tricia,
Jennifer, Deborah and Robyn Russell; Danelle, John, Mandy, Jason, Justin,
Joshua, and Brandi Christensen; and Scot and Nikki Lewis.
The sunset of a long, useful life on earth has been completed for Grandma
Lincoln. Death is not
extinguishing the light—It is putting out the lamp because the dawn has
come.
