| 6984 |  | Obituary- Kinnaird, Craig and Kinnaird, Shirley Murder and suicide tragedy at Kinnairds on the Kiro corner A tragedy was discovered early Tuesday morning when the body of Mrs. Shirley Kinnaird, 19, was found on a bed, shot through her back, and her estranged husband, Craig, near death on the floor of their trailer home from a self-inflicted gun shot wound. The shooting was discovered by Mr. Kinnaird’s father, C. F. Kinnaird, who lives in the home on the Kiro corner. Mr. Kinnaird suspected something was wrong when the light was burning in the trailer home about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. He went to the trailer and found the door locked but could hear his son’s heavy breathing. He ripped open the door with a crow bar and found the tragedy. A .25 caliber pistol was lying nearby. The young Kinnaird had shot himself in the face. The bullet entered his cheek and was lodged in the neck. He was rushed to the hospital but never regained consciousness. He died at 11:20 am Tuesday, the day after his 24th birthday. His wife apparently died instantly. Undersheriff George Hornbeck said it was apparently a murder and suicide and that no further investigation will be made. He said indications are that Kinnaird shot his wife while she lay on the bed, fully clothed, in their trailer home and then shot himself. The young couple had been estranged since Kinnaird returned from the service last month. It was believed Kinnaird had gone to the trailer home Monday in attempt to make a reconciliation with his wife. Mrs. Kinnaird was the former Shirley Bower. She and her husband attended Silver Lake High School. Kinnaird worked as a painter at the Capehart housing project at Forbes Air Base and his wife was employed at the Goodyear plant.

"But not today, Then be content, poor heart, God's plans like lilies pure and white, unfold; We must not tear the class-shut leaves apart. Time will reveal the chalices of gold And if, through patient toil, we reach the land Where tired feet with sandals loosed, may rest, When we shall clearly see and understand. I think that we will say, "God knew the best." - May Ruby Smith [From 7 Aug 1947] | |

Mrs. Kirby confessed her Lord and was baptized in July 1918, by Rev. Don Smith and placed her membership with the Lamont Christian church.

It can be truly said of her, her children and her children's children call her blessed. Two of the greatest words in the English language can be used to describe her -- Christian and Mother. She ever sought to do the Master's Will, and any eulogy that we might voice will fall into silence before the mighty testimony of her life. --The Valley News, Lamont, Oklahoma ************ Mrs. Charles Lemon left Wednesday for Lamont, Okla., called by the death of her aged mother, Mrs. S.J.

| 7000 |  | Obituary- Kirby, Stephen A 20th Kansas Veteran Dead. An event of more than passing interest was the death of Mr. Stephen Shirley Kirby, which occurred at his home on Soldier Creek, March 3, 1910. Mr. Kirby was a native of Ohio, born in Tippecanoe, Harrison county. At the age of ten years he accompanied his parents to Holton, Kansas. When the Spanish-American war broke out and the call for volunteer troops was issued Mr. Kirby enlisted in the 20th Kansas. He served in this regiment during its service in the Philippine Islands. He won the nick-name "Old Steve" because of his fearlessness and bravery. One of his comrades tells this incident: Once the 20th advanced to far for safety; the move bringing the Fillipino fire upon their flank. Col. Funston seeing the danger ordered a retreat. As the order was sounded "Old Steve" rose to his feet and entered a protest. The colonel called "Steve" to his quarters and asked why this insubordination. The answer was "Why we could have run those Fillipinos out of those trenches with a half dozen men, and then we wouldn't have to retreat." Again in that renowned event, among the many experiences of the 20th Kansas, when in the zone of fire Trembly and White swam across the river with a rope and fastened it to the opposite shore in order to have a line with which to guide rafts over "Old Steve" was with the first raft, that took over Funston. After being honorably discharged from the 20th Kansas, Mr. Kirby reenlisted in the Hospital Corps of the regular army, and served another term in the Philippines. He was honorably discharged from this branch of the service August 29, 1901. Only a few years after his leaving the service he began to feel the debilitating effect of that dreaded disease tuberculosis which he evidently contracted in the service, and after a long and tedious illness, peacefully fell asleep on March 3, 1910, at the age of 34 years, 6 months and 15 days. The Rev. John H. Lamb, pastor of the Rossville Presbyterian Church was the officiating minister at the funeral services, which was held at the home on Soldier Creek. Mr. Lamb has spent five years in the Philippines as a missionary and is quite familiar with the places the 20th Kansas made famous. Knowing from his later years view point of the many great blessings, privileges and uplift now being enjoyed by the Fillipino people, and made possible by the sacrifices of the American soldier in those first days. Mr. Lamb took advantage of this occasion to pay a fitting tribute to the American Soldiers, of whom the deceased was one, that had endured the hardships of those first struggles in the Philippines. Mr. Kirby was buried in the Rossville cemetery, Saturday, March 5, 1910. - Rossville Reporter [This image from The Emmett Citizen, Thursday, March 17, 1910] |
