In 1892 he married Jeanette Mae Barnard of Buffalo, and in 1919 they came to Ada where he was vice president of the Turnerised Roofing company for a number of years.
He was a member of the Masonic order and a supporter of the Presbyterian church. Taking an active interest in public affairs, he served as mayor of Ada for six years, 1924-1927 and 1930-1931.
Six years ago he became president of the General Roofing Paint company of Pittsburgh, and in 1935 he and Mrs. Kinsman established their residence in that city. They had moved back to their home here in May of this year.
Besides his wife, he is survived by a niece, Mrs. Florence Montgomery and a grandneice, Mrs. Jean Cook of New Jersey.
