There was much regret expressed here this morning, when a
telegram from Sumter brought news of the death of William A.

supposed his death must have been sudden or his illness very
short, as recent letters from his family to relatives here did
not speak of his being sick. Mr. Kinard was about 55 years of
age. He was a native of Newberry and lived here until removal
to Sumter about 10 years ago. He is the last, except Mrs. M.
L. Lovelace of this city, of a large family of children of the
late Solomon P. Kinard. Mr. Kinard leaves a wife and two grown
sons – the older with the Westinghouse company in Pittsburgh,
Pa., the younger with one of the Sumter back. Mrs. Kinard is a
sister of Dr. Jas. M. Kibler and Mrs. William Johnson of this
city. It is not known here tonight what arrangements have been
made as to the funeral, but it is supposed he will be buried
here. Mrs. Johnson left here this afternoon, by the Atlantic
Coast Line for Sumter. ( The State - January 6, 1913 )
