On December II, 1912, in her
hone at San Antonio, Texas, Mrs.
Matte Walton Kinney was call
ed 10 a Heavenly Inheritance.
She was born near Lexington,
Mo. Her father and mother,
Col. William and Mrs. Jane Wal
ton, We're greatly esteemed citi-
zens.
Mrs. Kinney was married at
Sweet Springs in 1868, to Cap
tain r. S. Kinney of the U. S.
Army. They had five children,
three died young, two remain,
John of San Antonio, and Clifton
of the U. s. Army
Her husband, with whom she
journeyed through life for over
forty years survives her. Her
life was not only a blessing to
her own family, but to the whole
community around. She was a
CHRISTIAN Woman, unselfish and
true always loyal to her church
but above all to her God.
If it was all to live such
separations would speak to our
hearts, only in tones of dis
pair, but

IS spanning the height,
And out pf the darkness, faith
POINTS us to light. "
