Mrs. Sophia Kinzey  

The subject of this notice was born May 10, 1822, and died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Adam Rose, about four miles west of New Paris, March 1,
1900, aged seventy-seven years, nine months and nineteen days. Her maiden
name was Hardman and she was, on August 10, 1839, united in holy wedlock
to Henry Kinzey, who preceded her to the spirit world almost twenty four
years ago. Their union was blessed with nine children - four sons and five 
daughters. Those surviving are Jacob, of New Buena Vista; Joseph, of
Helixville; Albert, of New Paris; Margaret, wife of E. F. Adams, of Cumberland; 
Ellen, wife of Adam Rose, of New Paris, and Caroline, wife of Jacob Geller, of 
Chicago. Decedent was a member of the Reformed church at Schellsburg. She was 
the last link of the family chain; her brothers and sisters all preceded her to 
the land of spirits. Since 1893, she had been making her home with her sons and 
daughters. The funeral service took place on Saturday and was conducted in the 
old White church which stands in the Union cemetery at Schellsburg. Here 
decedent had attended catechise, here her husband's funeral was conducted and it 
was therefore, fitting, that hers be here also. Mrs. Kinzey was well known at 
this end of the county and she was familiarly called "Aunt Sophie." She was a 
genial and kindhearted friend and neighbor. Peace to her ashes!
