The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1908-12-10
THE DEATH OF MRS. KINNEAR
Wife of c. G.. Kinnear, of the
Standard, Came Tuesday
Morning.
Oh death where lays thy sting?


That heavy hand, from which there
is no escape, fell with relentless force
on Tuesday morning at 7:30 on the
light of one of the most promising
careers in matronly womanhood in
Falon Mrs. Minnie Frances Kinnear-
who was just little past the quarter
century mark of life.
Her death while not wholly unlocked
for came as a shock to the host of
friends she and her husband had made,
since they took up their abode in Fallon
about two years ago.
They were young. She, but little
more than a girl who had just budded
into womanhood, and her consort, a
man who by integrity and foreefulness
of purpose, readily made for himself
place in the hearts and respects of Fal-
lonites.
OF cheerful disposition. Mrs. Kinnear
readily found place in the hearts of
all with whom she came in contact and
her untimely taking off will be mourned
for many day and in many homes,
within the sphere of which her genial,
her happy disposition extended
To the husband who has benefited by
the companionship of brave and low
ing helpmate, the heartfelt sympathy
Of an entire community goes out to him.
He left with all that was near and dear
to him in this world on the afternoon
train on Tuesday ct p. M, TO pay the
last sad rites at the family grave in
Alameda California, where the parents
of Mrs. Knnear have made their home
for number of years.
The family had ORIGINALLY come from
San Francisco, where Mrs. kinnear was
born, January 10. 1881; the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles B. White.
Subsequently the family moved TO
San Jose and then to Alameda; and
somewhat later Mrs. Kinnear
White who had become an adept in
the art of painting and literary work
became attached to newspaper in
Hollister, California. where in short
time she demonstrated such ability
as made her loss keenly felt when mar
riage took her out of the newspaper
field, the marriage taking place at
HOLSTER on August goth, 1905. While
in that city she became member Of
the Presbyterian church.
The young couple came here about
two years ago. and Mr.. Kinnear took
position with the Churchill County
Eagle, which he retained until a few
weeks since when he purchased a half
interest in the STANDARD.
IL appears almost as a fatality that
eo-incident with this purchase, which
held every promise of long and pros
porous career, his wife was stricken
with the illness, which as the STANDARD
goes to press, carries her to an early
grave.
The illness began with asthma result
ing in nervous prostration and for a
considerable period 1t was believed that
she would rally from this, but tubercu-
losis Of the stomach and bladder deve-
loped, and to this was due the end after
several weeks of sickness.
To mourn her early demise, aside from
loving husband, there are her father
and mother who make their home in
Alameda and brother, Charley S.
White, who is in business at Woodland,
California,
There were no services h cid before
the remains were moved away. Up tC
the time of going TO press we have moi
been informed of the arrangements
but most likely the funeral services
will be held today.
