Broken Heart Causes Death
J.H. Kinkead, Pioneer of Nevada, Expired Suddenly at Local Hotel
J.H. Kinkead, a pioneer of this state and the nephew of a former governor of
Nevada, died at a local hotel yesterday morning about 9:45 of a ruptured heart,
believed to have been caused by an injury received several days ago while riding
on a V.&T. train near Carson City.  Following his death yesterday an autopsy was
performed and a break in the left ventricle of his heart over a quarter of an
inch long was found.
The deceased had started for Virginia City and was sitting in a V. & T. car at
Carson which was not attached to the Virginia train and was leaning over the
back of the seat in front of him.  In coupling this car to the train the crew
allowed the cars to come together violently and Mr. Kinkead was thrown heavily
and Mr. Kinkead was thrown heavily against the back of the seat in front of him.
 He was struck just above the heart and immediately complained of a pain.  He
continued on to Virginia City and was there examined, but no broken bones were
found.  Another examination was then made and he came to this city.  Here he was
attended by Dr. Hartzell and was informed that he was suffering from an internal
injury.  He managed to get around as usual but continually complained of the
pain above his heart.  Yesterday morning he ate breakfast with his physician and
then feeling ill went to his room and laid down.  Soon the pain over his heart
became more violent and in a few minutes he passed away.  He had received a
bruise on his heart at the time of the accident in the V. & T. car and it was
the breaking of the heart at the point it was bruised that caused his death.
Mr. Kinkead was 69 years of age and was a native of Ohio but had lived in this
state for more than forty years and was said to be quite wealthy.  He was the
inventor of the famous Kinkead mills and was the owner and operator the Kinkead
mill at Virginia City at the time of his death.  The remains of Mr. Kinkead were
taken to the Elk’s home today and will lie in state there until Wednesday
morning when they will be taken to Carson City for burial.  There will be
funeral services at the Elks’ home on Tuesday evening.
He is survived by a widow, two sons, Bud of Fallon and Allen of South Africa;
two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Wildes of South Afrida, and Mrs. Walter Techow of San
Francisco, a sister, Mrs. Ida Clark of Carson; a nephew, C.L. Davies or Reno,
and a niece, Mrs. J. Lozano of this city.  Mr. and Mrs. Bud Kinkead arrived in
the city last evening from Fallon; Mrs. E. Lord came down from Virginia City and
Mrs. Roundtree, Mrs. G. Clark and daughter and other friends and relatives
arrived last evening to remain here until the body of the former pioneer is
taken to Carson
