The services were conducted by Rev. J. M. Williams, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. Hymns were sung by the quartet of the church, consisting of Mrs. James G.

With the passing of Mrs. Sinn the community loses one of the kindest hearted woman who ever lived. All those who knew her mourn her death. The writer has personal recollections of the cordial hospitality of Mrs. Sinn when she entertained at her home in Valley township a little town girl who had never been in a country home before. Her kindness was known to everyone who became acquainted with her. The following obituary was read at her funeral: "Mary Alice Hollis was born in Valley township, Page county, Iowa, April 6. 1858, and died at her home in Clarinda on Monday afternoon, Aug. 16, 1920, at the age of 62 years 3 months and 10 days. Our sister's death occurred after a short illness, the real seriousness of which many of her friends were not aware. She was the daughter of Edward Hollis, a pioneer settler in Page county, coming here from the state of Illinois in the year 1850. Of this family just two remain, Samuel Hollis of Nodaway, Iowa, and William Hollis of Burlington Junction, Mo. Our sister grew up to womanhood on the old homestead near the present site of Hepburn. On Feb. 12, 1879, she was united in marriage to George F. Sinn of Page county, who with the three surviving children remain to mourn a faithful wife and home maker and a loving mother. Six children were born to this union, the three surviving being Frank Sinn of Clarinda, Eva May, and Mary Alice, also of Clarinda. Our sister was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Clarinda. She took a great interest in the Sisterhood class of the Sunday school, of which class she was one of the original members. She was also greatly interested in the work of the W. C. T. U. of which organization she was an active member. She was always proud of the white ribbon with what it stood for. Her friends were all who knew her."
