  Obituary- Kinnett, James Obituary James Monroe Kinnett was born in Ripley County, Indiana, March 8, 1840; died July 4, 1914, at the age of 74 years, 3 months and 26 days. He was married to Miss Anna Eliza Reser in 1859 at Aurora, Ind. To this union ten children were born, seven boys and three girls -- Thomas, Marcellus, Oliver, Dora, George, Rapha, Frank, John, Flora and Maggie. All the children remain to mourn his loss except Thomas and Frank. One brother and three sisters remain also to mourn the loss of a beloved father and brother. He first joined the Baptist church in Indiana while a young man and later united with the Christian church at Westmoreland, Kans., and lived a consistent Christian throughout his life. He came to Kansas shortly after the war and settled in the old building known as the Indianola hotel, just northwest of Topeka, for a few years and then moved to the homestead he took in Pottawatomie County, where he resided until about 20 years ago. These past years have been spent on a farm about four miles northwest of Rossville. Nine years ago, on May 29, death visited his household and took from him his life companion after 46 years of walk together and now he has gone to join those who have led the way and to wait the coming of those who remain here. [From 9 Jul 1914] ---- Grandpa Kinnett Grandpa Kinnett, who had been in poor health for many months, passed away Saturday, July 4, at his home, 4 miles northwest of Rossville. Mr. Kinnett was one of the pioneers of this state, coming here immediately after the war. He had been a resident of Rossville township for about 20 years. The past winter was a trying one for Mr. Kinnett, but through all his suffering he never complained. He was a consistent Christian and practiced the precepts of his religion toward his neighbors and family. Mr. Kinnett leaves to mourn his loss eight children, twenty-seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, one brother and three sisters. The funeral services were held at the Rossville Christian church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Mr. Jones and interment was made in the Rossville cemetery. [From 9 Jul 1914] ---- Card of Thanks We wish to thank the many friends and neighbors who rendered us so many kindnesses during the illness and death of our father, James Kinnett. The children.
