Bio
From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, December 15, 1927, transcribed by Linda Berney: Old Resident Answers Last Call – Alton L. Kinney passed away at his home in Wolbach last Saturday noon after an extended illness. Mr. Kinney was one of the first settlers in this part of Nebraska, homesteading on a farm in Nance county over 46 years ago. For the past 25 years he has resided in Wolbach. Mr. Kinney was well known and high respected in this community. Funeral services were held Monday at the Methodist church, and a large number of friends were present to pay their last regards to the deceased. Mr. Kinney was active in lodge work and will be greatly missed in the various fraternities in which he held membership, as well as by his many personal friends. Rev. R. A. White preached the funeral sermon, Rev. Braymen reading the scripture lessons and leading in prayer. The remains were laid to rest in Hillside cemetery. The Odd Fellows of Wolbach attended in a body and rendered their burial service at the grave. OBITUARY – Alton L. Kinney was born in Vandalia, Cass County, Michigan, May 7, 1860, and died at his home in Wolbach, Nebraska, December 10, 1927, aged 67 years, 7 months and 3 days. He came to Nebraska in 1881 and located on a homestead in Nance county. He was united in marriage to Sarah E. DeBord in Nance county, January 10, 1884. To this union eleven children were born, of whom two died in infancy. The wife and mother of the family died in the Ord hospital May 19, 1926. The nine children remaining to cherish the memory of a loving father are Mrs. Ede Bilyeu, Albion, Nebr., Mrs. Inez Trosper, Spalding, Nebr., Roy, Grand Island, Nebr., Mrs. Edna Johnston, Mrs. Anna Anderson, Mrs. Mabel Wagner, Lloyd, Archie and George of Wolbach, Nebr. He is also survived by one sister and two brothers, Mrs. May Halpin, Belgrade, Nebraska, Frank of Spencer, Nebr., and Charles of Denver, Colorado; and by sixteen grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends. In March 1893 he moved into the house in Wolbach, that has been the home of the family ever since, and where seven of the children were born. He was a member of the Odd Fellow lodge, and a charter member of the Rebecca and Modern Woodman lodges, maintaining his membership and serving official positions.
