- Obituary
Died – of quick consumption, after an illness of six months, at the residence of her parents, William N. and Ann E. Cassity, four miles north-east of Wetmore in Brown County, Kansas, at 8 o’clock, a.m., Sunday; June 10, 1888. Mary Alma Jinks.
Deceased was born in Brown County near where she died, Sept. 25, 1864, and was therefore 23 years, 8 month and 10 days old at the time of her death. She was married to Ernest Jinks Feb. 22, 1882, and leaves a husband and two children, Wm. Curtis, five years old, and Bessie May, two years old. She made a last request of her mother to take care of Bessie. Being the last sister of a family of five she much desired to see Willie, the oldest brother who was in Leadville, Col., and telegraphed for but did not arrive until she had passed away – the realities of which none living knoweth.
At the early age of eleven years she joined the Methodist church, and lived an upright believer thereafter. She was a loving daughter and sister, dutiful wife, a kind and loving mother, and leaves a grief-stricken husband, father, mother, three brothers, and last but not least two little orphans who had hardly learned to lisp the dear wore, “mother,” then the monster, Death, snatched her from them; shall we say forever? We hope not.
The funeral took place at the Baptist Church at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. Rev. T.E. Rolfe delivered one of his very able funeral discourses to some three hundred relatives and friends of the deceased, after which a long train followed the remains to its final resting place in the Wetmore Cemetery.
The parents and husband of the deceased extend to all who in any way helped them in their sad bereavement, their heart-felt thanks.
