DEATH OF J. A. KINSEY

Jacob Alonzo Kinsey, born August 11, 1856 and died December 9th, 1916, aged 60 years, three months and 28 days.

While the birth place was Milford, Indiana, he came to the West when a young man and married Miss Angie Elizabeth Hunsaker, March 22, 1885, at Baker City, Oregon. To this union were born eight children all of whom are living except one who died by accident about a year ago when at the age of 23 years. Mr. Kinsey became a Christian and was baptized by Rev. Perce at Payette, January 24th, 1897. He later identified himself with the Christian Church (Disciples) March 5th, 1905, at Halfway, Oregon, where the family made their home for several years. Mr. Kinsey was an earnest Christian and an upright citizen and valued neighbor. The family but recently moved to Payette for the second time, and lived on River street. It was Brother Kinsey's desire to live where the children as well as the parents, could enjoy church privileges. Pneumonia and a weak heart were too much for the constitution which was not very robust, and after an illness of a week's duration, he departed this life and was laid to rest in the Payette cemetery. The funeral sermon was preached at the Christian Church at 1:30 p.m., Dec. 12, by the minister, Rev. John Kendrick Ballou.

A daughter of the deceased, Mrs. Walter Johnson, of Halfway, Ore., his brother and sister, Mr. H. H. Kinsey of Twin Falls, Idaho, Mrs. Crossfield, of Portland, Ore., and Mr. Frank Hunsaker of Baker, Oregon, a brother of Mrs. Kinsey, reached Payette in time for the funeral. A brother in Montana and a sister residing at St. Paul, Minn., were unable to be present.
