She was united in marriage to James Brewer, August 6, 1856 and to this union were born three children, one son and two daughters, who were present at her funeral. Mr. Brewer was killed in the Civil War 1862. She again united in marriage to Isaac Kinney, in November 1867, to which union were born six children, three sons and three daughters, two of whom are dead. Mr. Kinney passed on to the other world in 1901. Sister Kinney's long life of nearly 86 years was a busy, fruitful life. She was converted to faith in Christ early in life and became a member of the Christian Church, remaining in that Church until death. Her large family was brought up to love and fear God. She was living at the time of her death with her daughter, Mrs. Elam, at Russelville, Okla, and at a family reunion a short time ago, at that home there were present 168 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
