Kinney, 85, longtime resident of the Adair community, were held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Oct. 7, at the Canby Friends Church. Mrs. Kinney died Oct. 4, at the Guthrie County Hospital in Guthrie Center. ..A daughter of John and Margaretha Wahe, Mrs. Kinney was born Dec. 2, 1885, in Moline, Ill. As a small child she moved with her parents to Nebraska and later came to Iowa. She and Leonard (Pete) Kinney were married March 10, 1909 at Fontanelle. They farmed in Adair County nearly all their married life and observed their golden wedding anniversary in 1959. She had been a resident of the Adair Community Health Center for 18 months, before being transferred to the Guthrie County Hospital. ..Survivors include two sons, Virgil Kinney of Fontanelle and Donald Kinney of Adair; a daughter, Mrs. Max (Maisel) Christensen of Casey; a brother Charlie Wahe of Greenfield; six sisters, Mrs. Kate Reimers and Mrs. Mary Ruth ( ), both of Stuart, Mrs. Minnie Kinney of Greenfield, Mrs. Clara Parrott of Adair, Mrs. Tena Parrott of Bridgewater and Mrs. Sophia Reha of Adair; 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. ..She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a sister, Mrs. Anne Newman, and four brothers, Bill, John, Pete and Fred Wahe. ************************* Margaretha Sophia Katrina Wahe "Maggie" and "Pete" were married on March 10, 1909 at Fontanelle, Iowa at a minitster's home. There had been a bad snowstorm and the roads were blocked. When they were on their way to Fontanelle they had to take down fences and go through the fields There were such big drifts on some roads that the horses could not get through. ..Pete and Maggie (as they were called all their lives)first moved onto Walter Quinlan's farm 2 miles west of Canby. They lived there for a year, then moved to the Detwiler farm southeast of Adair where Virgil was born. They then moved t the Marnin farm 3 miles west and 1/4 mile north of Canby. Donald and Maisel both born on this farm. ..Maisel got the whooping cough when she was 5 months old. Grandma Wahe came to help her daughter, Maggie, but would not take care of Maisel because she felt the baby would die. Grandma had lost four children in infancy and it was understandable that she had fears. ..The Doctor told Pete and Maggie to move from that farm because he thought a change of houses would help. They bought a farm 8 miles northwest of Adair and moved there in February 1917. Maisel recovered slowly. Pete and Maggie sold out and moved to a farm they bought 1/2 miles north of Canby. that was in 1920. They later purchased an additional 80 acres across the road from them. ..All their children were required to work long hours as they grew up and helped in the fields and with the many chores. They rented extra land near them when Virgil and Donald were out of the 8th grade and big enough to work in the fields. ..Pete had a diabetic stroke and after 6 or 7 weeks passed away. Maggie continued to live on the farm for about 2 years. She then moved to the Adair Nursing Home for 18 months where she passed away. Most of this information was taken from a Wahe Genealogy by Georgene Parrott Mardesen and was completed in the mid 1980's.
