Piedmont Inquirer, (Calhoun County, AL)  Feb 13, 1892
DEATH OF MRS. L.J. KINABREW
She Passes Peacefully Away on Thursday Afternoon.
	The death of Mrs. Louise J. Kinabrew, which occurred on Thursday 
afternoon at the residence of her son, Dr. W.H. Kinabrew, although not unlooked 
for by those who have known her failing health for some times past, was a sad 
blow to her friends and relatives and to the community in general.
	She had been an invalid for more than a year and although attended by 
faithful nurses and doctors, she gradually sank lower and lower until the 
waning spark of like was finally extinguished, releasing her from pain.  A 
biography of her life if fully written would contain on its pages many useful 
lessons in Christian character and one in which all of us could read with 
profit.
	She was the daughter of William Steed, a Baptist preacher of great 
influence and piety, who lived near Warrenton, Ga.  Within a few miles of that 
place she was born in the year 1828.  In 1845 she married Dr. J.W. Kinabrew, a 
successful practicing physician, well known as a citizen of Piedmont and who is 
now lying ill at his son’s residence on Main street.  Nine years ago she 
removed from Georgia to this place, which she made her home until her decease.  
During fifty years of her life she was a devoted christian [sic] and a member 
of the Baptist church.  Her age at the time of her death was about 64 years.  
Besides her husband she leaves two children to mourn her loss.
	The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock, in the M.E. 
church, and was conducted by Rev. Geo. D. Harris, W.T. Wilkins, P.H. Brewster 
and Presiding Elder Slaughter.  Interment in the cemetery adjoining the church.
	The pall bearers were:  Capt. Monahan, A. McCollister, J.K. Dailey, 
I.N. Cochran, A.R. Moody and J.C. Wickes.
	Her son, Dr. W.H. Kinabrew, was unable to attend her funeral on account 
of severe illness.
	Although any testimonial in these columns can add nothing to the esteem 
in which she was held by old and young, the INQUIRER feels called upon to 
record for the outside world the blamelessness of her life, and the purity of 
the example she maintained.
	It is in the example of such a career that the world finds its best 
evidence of the beauty of Christian living.
	Those who knew her best, loved her best and will feel her loss most 
keenly.  Therfore[sic] to her relatives, the INQUIRER extends its sincere 
sympathy, and to the world at large presents her life as a model for all.
	Weep not that her toils are over,
		Weep not that her race is run,
	God grant we may rest as calmly,
		When our work, like hers, is done.
	‘Till then we yield with gladness,
		Our Mother to Him to keep,
	And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
		“He giveth His loved ones sleep.”
