"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 49, No 21, p 336, May 25, 1893.
Mrs. Nancy Rogers Zinn was born Jan. 31, 1820, in Preston Co., Va., and died at her home in Farina, Ill., May 8, 1893. After a hard day's work she was taken sick in the night with what seemed to be congestion of the lungs, and died before the village physician could reach her.
In her girlhood she confessed Christ in Baptism and united with a Baptist church. She was married in 1840 to Otho Preston Zinn, with whom she settled on Hughes River, Ritchie Co., Va. (now W. Va.), where about the year 1847, both embraced the Sabbath and united with the Hughes River Seventh-day Baptist Church.
In 1857 she was left a widow with eight children, all of whom, except one, she kept together and raised to maturity. This she did by industry and excellent management, with the help of the older children, without diminishing the estate left at her husband's death. In 1866 she emigrated with her family to Farina, and became a member of the Farina Church.
Her convictions of truth were very strong and she lived according to her convictions. In her death the Farina Church has lost a devoted member, and her surviving children - four daughters and one son - an affectionate mother and a wise counselor. Her funeral was attended at the church by a large concourse though on a week-day. Discourse by her pastor from 1 Thess. 4: 13.
