The body was brought back to Wolbach yesterday afternoon and the funeral will probably be Friday afternoon. Mrs. Kinney's death is a severe shock not only to her immediate relatives, but also to her numerous friends. ~~~~~~~~~ From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, May 27, 1926, transcribed by Linda Berney: MRS. KINNEY LAID TO REST – The funeral of Mrs. A. L. Kinney was held at the Methodist church last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with a very large crowd in attendance. Rev. Moore preached the sermon. The ritual of the Rebekah lodge was followed at the church and their service also used at the grave. Most beautiful floral offerings were brought in honor of the departed. Interment was made at Hillside cemetery. Besides the relatives in this immediate vicinity, the following from out of town were present: Mrs. C. A. Hagadorn, a sister from Bentonville, Arkansas; George DeBord, a brother from Kearney, John DeBord and family from Palmer; Mr. and Mrs. Lee DeBord of Greeley; Mr and Mrs. John Bilyeu and son from Albion; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Trosper of Spalding; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kinney of Grand Island; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kinney; and the John Halpin and Frank Halpin families of Belgrade; Mrs. Clarence Gully and Mr. Marion Hiett of Willow Lake, South Dakota. OBITUARY -- Sarah Elizabeth DeBord was born in Laurel County, Kentucky, Aug. 1, 1864 and died in Ord, Nebraska, May 19, 1926, aged 61 years, 9 months and 18 days. At the age of 18 years she came to Nebraska, where she was married to Alton L. Kinney, in Nance county, January 10, 1884. To this family were born eleven children, of whom the eldest died in infancy, and another in early childhood, and of whom nine remain to cherish the memory of a devoted and Christian mother. They are Mrs. Edith Bilyeu, Albion; Mrs. Inez Trosper, Spalding; Roy, Grand Island; and Mrs. Edna Johnston, Mrs. Anna Anderson, Mrs. Mable Wagner, Lloyd, Archie and George of Wolbach. In March 1893 she moved with the family into the house in Wolbach that has ever since been the home and where seven of the children were born. It was in childhood that Mrs. Kinney united with the church. When she came to Wolbach her membership was brought to the Methodist church of that place, and she continued a faithful and useful member all her life. She maintained a lively interest in the affairs of the church. The last Sabbath of her life in Wolbach she was in her usual place in the congregation. She was a charter member of the Royal Neighbor and Rebekah lodges in Wolbach, maintaining her membership, and serving in official positions. On the day that she was stricken with her last illness, she was elected and installed as president of District No. 37 of the Rebekah lodge. Always ready to watch by the couch of suffering, no one ever appealed to her for help in vain. Besides the children mentioned above, she is survived by her husband, Alton L. Kinney, Wolbach; by a half-brother, Garrett Caudel, Sterling, Colo.; four brothers, George DeBord, Kearney; John DeBord, Palmer, Lee DeBord, Greeley; and James DeBord, Gillette, Wyoming; two sisters, Mrs. C. A. Hagadorn, Bentonville, Ark, and Mrs. Fanny Heitt, Sand Springs, Montana; by fifteen grand children and a host of other relatives and friends. With all these the whole community joins in sympathy for their sorrow, but with the comfort and assurance of the Christian hope. CARD OF THANKS – We wish to take this means of expressing our deep and heartfelt gratitude to all who in any way showed their interest and sympathy in our affliction in the sickness and death of Mrs. A. L. Kinney. We were greatly comforted by the help and the regard shown by the different lodges, by the Ladies Aid Society and the Church and all neighbors and friends. Also we are deeply grateful for and comforted by the message of all the floral offerings. Mr. A. L. Kinney, brothers, sisters, and children.
