Prominent Farmer Ends Life with Revolver.
BRISTORIA, April 16 - After making a bed of hay in his stable Roseberry Kinney, one of the best known farmers and stockraisers of Greene county calmly lay down on it and fired a bullet from a 32 calibre revolver through his head at his home at Bristoria, Saturday at 11 o'clock. He was found a short time after the bullet had torn its way through his head and although he was still conscious he made no statement as to why he had fired the shot which proved fatal. His death occurred about one hour after the shooting took place, and before a physician arrived on the scene....
Kinney was one of the most intelligent and industrious farmers of this section of Greene county and his wife and family have the sympathy of a large number of friends. Kinney was 41 years of age and besides his wife who was Laura Tharp, to whom he was married four years age, he leaves two children, Hallie, ages 3 years, and Wilma Virginia, aged 2 months. His mother, Mrs. Rebecca Kinney, of Delphene, also survives with the following brothers and sisters: George Kinney, William Kinney, and Robert Kinney, of near Bristoria; Mrs. James Fletcher and Mrs. John Pascoe [Pethtel], of Bristoria.
