KINSEY ANSWERS SUMMONS Hood River people were saddened yesterday when they learned of the death of John R. Kinsey, which occurred Monday evening at his home on Cascade Avenue. Mr. Kinsey had been seriously ill for the past two weeks, the cause of death being Brights disease of the kidneys. Mr. Kinsey was born in Frys Valley, Ohio, and would have been 55 years old next month. His marriage occurred in Ohio 28 years ago and he lived there until 18 years ago, when he moved to Hood River. He engaged in the grocery business here, at first in partnership with T.J. Kinnaird and later independently. Mr. Kinsey was a jovial, generous and public-spirited man whose death will come as a real loss to the community. In the home, too, his death will be keenly felt by his wife and Catherine and Maurice Kinsey, to whom he had been as a father. The funeral will be held this (Wednesday) morning at 10:30 o’clock, at the Congregational Church, Rev. M.L. Hutton officiating. This was posted for reference only.
