Read More	Mrs. Kate Finney, who had lived in Atchison sixty-two years, died at 9:30 last night at the family residence, 510 North Second Street. She had been ill since last October, and bedfast since February 4. She died as the result of septicemia from a gangrenous foot, and that came as the result of old age. She was eighty years old. Watching beside her when death came were her two children, Dr. C.C. Finney, and Mrs. Agnes True, both of whom had been tender, loving, devoted to their mother, not only during her last illness but all their lives. Mrs. Finney was born in February, 1838, in Middlebury, Vermont. Her maiden name was Kathrens, and a brother, R.D. Kathrens, was an early day wholesale merchant in Atchison. He died years ago. When an infant, Mrs. Finney's parents took her to Huntsville, Ala., to live, and from there she went with her parents to Lexington, Mo., where her marriage to M.C. Finney occurred. She came with her husband to Atchison in 1856. He was an important man here; was wharfmaster, was a commission merchant, and had a general merchandise store on the levy. He and his wife lived in two rooms over the store until forty-seven years ago when they moved into the house on North Second street, where he died in 1872, and where his widow died last night. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Finney; two died in infancy, James K. Finney died eighteen years ago, and Dr. C.C. Finney and Mrs. True survive. Also one grandchild, Charles, son of Dr. and Mrs. Finney. Mrs. Kate Finney is the last of her parents' family to go. She was the youngest, and the others died many years ago. Joe Kathrens, who was a publicity man at the San Francisco exposition was her nephew. C.F. Kathrens, living in Arrington, will be here for the funeral. Mrs. Finney was a woman of the old school; her home was her kingdom, and she ruled it, wisely. She never belonged to a woman's club, and did not engage in any public work. She believed that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and her influence was an inspiration to her children. She lived to see her son, Dr. C.C. Finney, became mayor and one of the prominent men of the city where she had lived for so many years. She loved all her children, of course, but her son, Charley, was her idol, and his devotion to her was her reward. Her daughter, Mrs. True, was tender, devoted, faithful, and the two were affectionate companions. Mrs. George T. Challiss, living in Berlin, was a friend of Mrs. Finney's youth, and she had felt anxiety for Mrs. Challiss' welfare. Several hours before her death her daughter read to her from last evening's globe the letter written by Mrs. Challis' daughter in Ohio, in which it was stated that Mrs. Challis is being well cared for by her son in Berlin, and almost the last words Mrs. Finney spoke were in gratitude for that information. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 5 o'clock from St. Benedict's church, interment in the Catholic cemetery. Monday morning at 8 o'clock there will be reuiem high mass at St. Benedict's church. (info provided by member #47277349)
