She was born at Amboy, the daughter of James and Ellen Nichols Kinney. Surviving are two sons, Charles of Orwell, Clayton of Patterson, N.J.; a daughter, Mrs. Clara Beach of New York city and five grandchildren, Mrs. Don Minor and Mrs. Clarence Hager of Orwell, Marvin Durgee of Syracuse and two grandchildren in Illinois.
