A NATIVE OF BURNSIDE DIES


Miss Alma Kinne Succumbs in Atlantic After Operation Buried at Dayton


Miss Alma Kinne, daughter of Henry Kinne, died last Saturday in the Atlantic
hospital at Atlantic following an operation for adhesions.  Miss Kinne was
employed in the Atlantic hospital as laboratory technician and assistant
superintendant.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from her home in Burnside and
from the Trinity Lutheran church near Dayton, with Rev. R. Krenke, of the
Lutheran church and C. Swanson officiating.

Miss Kinne was born Dec. 29, 1896 at Burnside.  She attended the parochial
school of Trinity church until her confirmation Mar. 20, 1910.  Following
her confirmation she attended Fort Dodge Business college, from which
institution she graduated with the class of 1916.  Some time later she
entered the Nurses Training school of the Lutheran hospital at Hampton, and
finished training in 1921.  For some years she successfully followed her
chosen profession in various states, cheering the patients and those with
whom she worked by her comforting words, gracious smiles and ready wit.

As it became evident that the profession of nursing was too heavy for her,
she attended the Northwest Institute of Technology at Minneapolis, Minn., and
graduated in 1929, going from there to Atlantic, where she died at the age of
32 years, 9 months, and 7 days.  

Deceased leaves to mourn her departure her
father, three brothers and three sisters, Alwin and Johanna at home, Franz of
Gowrie, Henry at home, and Mrs.  Theodore Lind of Dayton, besides a host of
relatives and friends.  Her mother preceded her in death 17 years ago.
