MOSES P. KINKAID
Congressman Moses P. Kinkaid, o
this city died at a hospital in Wash
ington, D. C., at 9 o’clock Thursday
morning, following an operation Wed
nesday evening. Burial will be in
Prospect Hill cemetery, this city.
Word of the serious illness of Judge
Kinkaid was receieved in a telegram to
Judge C. J. Malone early Thursdaj
morning and a few hours later came
the following telegram to S. J. Weekes
from Lawrence Malone, secretary tc
Judge Kinkaid:
“Judge Kinkaid died at 9 o’clod
this morning. Body will be taken t<
O’Neill. Kindly make necessary loca
arrangements.
“L. H. MALONE.”
Although it was known that Judg<
Kinkaid has been seriously ill foi
several months, the announcement o:
the death of O’Neill’s most prominen
and beloved citizen comes as a shod
to the entire community. Ill healtl
caused his withdrawal as a candidati
for renomination and election tx
congress several weeks ago and hi
gradually had been growing weake:
: since that announcement. Last Thurs- II
day he was removed to thg hospital 1
at which he died.
Judge Kinkaid was born in Monon
galia county, West Virginia, but. his
biography does not give the date of
his birth. He came to O'Neill in the
late seventies and engaged in the
practice of law. He was elected to
the state senate in 1883 and to the
district bench in 1887, serving as
district judge until and including the •
year 1896. iHs first election to con
gress was in 1902, to the 58th session,
and he continued to represent the
Sixth congressional district, the larg
est district in the state, since that
time until his deah. No man in Ne
braska enjoyed a more general and
, personal acquaintance than did Judge
■ Kinkaid and his congressional col
leagues say of him that he- enjoyed
; the same respect, love and esteem in
i Washington, as he did at home.
! Local arrangements for the funeral,
i which will be in charge of S. J.
: Weekes, await the receipt of further
■ intelligence from Washington.
