Mrs. Malinda Kinzer, wife of the late George Kinzer, died Thursday of last week
at her home one mile from Nebo. Deceased was one of the oldest residents of that
part of the county, having reached the advanced age of 84 years. The remains
were laid to rest Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. -- Columbia Herald, March 1,

On last Thursday death also entered the home of one of our oldest people, Aunt
Malinda Kinzer, as she was familiarly called, and being nearly 85 years of age.
For long years she lived in our midst, but nine years ago she moved to Union and
resided there until a few weeks ago, when she moved back to the home. Aunt
Malinda was a Christian, and in her last days, when inflictions fell so heavily
upon her, she often prayed to die, to be freed from pain and sorrow, and to go
home to heaven; she leaves three children, and several grandchildren to mourn
her departure. She lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Lillian Godwin, who will
sadly miss her grandmother. -- Columbia Herald, March 1, 1901.
