DEATH OF JOHN K. SINEX
April 17, 1903
Salem, Washington County, Indiana
John K. Sinex, died in the hospital at Kankakee, Ill., Friday, April 11, at 2:00 o'clock a.m. of erysipelas. Mr. Sinex was in business at Chevanse, when the disease refused to yield to local treatment. Six months ago he was taken to the hospital, where the best medical aid and nursing failed to arrest the disease.
John Karnes Sinex was a son of Elisha W. and Caroline Sinex and was born near South Boston, January 19, 1871, and his age therefore 32 years, 2 months and 22 days. He lived in this county most of his life until six years ago when he went to Chevanse. His mother, two sisters and a brother live in this county. The sisters are Mrs. H. F. White, of Salem, and Mrs. Newton Rodman, of South Boston. The brother is Thomas Sinex, who lives on the Collins farm. Accompanied by the mother who was with him and his brother, E. W. Sinex and wife, of Chevanse, the remains were taken to New Albany Sunday to the home of Mrs. H. C. Walker, at 1602 Dewey Heights.
The funeral and burial took place on Monday, the latter under the auspices of the Red Men, as he was a member of that order at Salem. He was also a member of Modern Woodmen at Chevanse.
H. F. White, Thomas Sinex and Newton Rodman, with their wives attended the funeral at New Albany.
