October 26, 1922

Mrs. Lee Zinn.
Mrs Virginia A. ZINN was born Feb. 12, 1855, in Barber county, West Virginia,
the daughter of Jacob and Susan SHANK, and died Oct. 13, 1922, at Denison,
Jackson county, Kansas, at the age of 67 years, 8 months and one day.
On November 11, 1873, she was married to James Lee Zinn, and lived in Barber
county, West Virginia, until 1883, when they moved to Jackson county, Kansas.
She became the mother of eight children, six of whom are living. Mrs. Susan
MOORE and Mrs. Cora BROADACRE of Larkinburg, Mrs. Virginia PRUITT of Densmore,
Kansas, Mrs. Maude WHISMAN and Burton J. Zinn of Denison, and Devere J. Zinn of
Kansas City, Mo. Two others, a son and a daughter, died in infancy.
She is also survived by her sorrowing husband, her aged mother and one brother,
John W. SHANK of Philippi, West Virginia, and one sister, Mrs. Rose WARD of
LaJunta, Colorado.
In her young womanhood Mrs. Zinn united with the Methodist church. She was a
loving wife and faithful mother, deeply devoted to her home where she always
thought first of the comfort of others. She was a kind neighbor and was esteemed
by all who knew her.
The deep sympathy of many friends and neighbors goes out to the bereaved husband
and children in their deep sorrow.
There is a world above
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love
Form'd for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere,
Funeral services wer held at the home at two o'clock on Sabbath, Oct. 15,
conducted by Rev. W.O. FERGUSON and were attended by many sympathizing friends.
The pallbearers were Mrs. Chas. MOORE, Chas. MOORE, Jr., Roscoe MOORE, George,
Melvin and Elvin BROADACRE. Interment was made in the Denison cemetery.
