IN MEMORY OF SISTER BELLE KINZIE
Eudora Belle Kinzie, nee Austin, oldest daughter of Eld. A. W. Austin and wife, was born in Ogle County, Illinois October 2, 1866. She departed this life February 18, 1929, aged sixty-two years, four months and sixteen days.
When she was about ten years of age she moved with her parents to Nebraska, and two years later to Jewell County, Kansas. A few years later the family located in Republic County near Bellville. Here her father labored for six years with the Bellville church.
Sister Kinzie united with the church at Burr Oak, Kansas at the age of fourteen years, to which she remained faithful until death.
February 20, 1887, she married David L. Kinzie. To this union six children were born-- three sons and three daughters.
The first two years of their married life were spent near Burr Oak. In the fall of 1888 they moved to Cooke County, Texas in the bounds of the Williams Creek church. The membership was very scattered and the church was later disorganized. Here they remained for fourteen years, isolated from the church, yet remaining loyal to all its principles.
In the fall of 1898 they moved to Oklahoma, locating near Cushing, laboring earnestly for thirty years with the members of the Big Creek congregation. Sister Kinzie was a Sunday-school teacher so long that practically all of the younger members of the church were at one time members of her Sunday-school class.
She was greatly interested in young people, always giving them a hearty welcome in her home. To her regret, less than a year ago she was forced by failing health to turn her class over to other hands. She greatly rejoiced to see her scholars unite with the church, and never failed to give them encouragement in their Christian life.
Her place in church was seldom vacant. She was one of the faithful few among our Aid workers. She also served the church in the office of clerk for a number of years.
Her whole life was spent on the frontier; thus she fully understood the needs of the weaker churches. The work of the church was the burden on her heart until the last. Just a few days before her death she requested that an offering be sent to the District Mission Board, of which her companion was a member.
Sister Kinzie had been in failing health for several years. February 3 she was stricken with a paralytic stroke from which she never recovered. She leaves her companion, three sons, two daughters, fourteen grandchildren, two brother and two sisters.
Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Bro. W. R. Argabright, assisted by her nephew, Oliver Fillmore. Interment in the cemetery near by.
Resolutions of Sympathy
Whereas God who is the loving Father of all, and doeth all things well, has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved sister and coworker, Belle Austin Kinzie, and whereas it is fitting and proper that we should pay a tribute to her memory, therefore be it Resolved, since the removal of such a beautiful Christian life leaves a vacancy which will be felt by all members of our Aid Society, That we put forth a greater effort in the Master's service; That the example she showed in our Aid Society, of which she was a charter member, be held in grateful remembrance; That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the host of relatives and friends she has left behind; That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the "Gospel Messenger" and a copy placed on the minutes of our Aid Society.
Committee: Mrs. W. R. Argabright, Mrs. Davis Pote, Mrs. May Fillmore.
