Biography

Jason Kinne11 History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri (1886) page 436-437 (Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 29, Post-office, Hamilton) Located in the midst of one of the finest agricultural centers of Caldwell county, the farm which Mr. Kinne owns and occupies is conceded to be among the best in this vicinity, and this is saying not a little, for on every hand may be seen superior places, whose ownership indicates thrift and prosperity. Mr. Kinne is descended from a race who have given their attention principally to farming. His father, Robert B. Kinne, was born in 1808 in Oneida county, N. Y., and there wielded considerable influence in agricultural matters. He married Miss Anjuline Humiston, whose birth occurred in Oneida county, N. Y., September 8, 1814. They became located in this county in 1868. Three sons and two daughters were born to them: Jay, Jason, Ira, Sarah Ann, now Mrs. Lansing Oliver, and Ester J. Jay died in infancy. Robert B. Kinne departed this life in Caldwell county, September 9, 1885, aged 77 years and seven months; his wife was called to her reward on June 12, 1883, when 69 years old. Jason Kinne, the subject of this sketch, a worthy son of an honored father, first saw the light in Oneida county, N. Y., May 18, 1837, and is therefore less than 50 years of age. It fell to his lot to grow up with a farm experience, and from the very first he has closely and energetically applied himself to the obtaining of a thorough knowledge of agricultural matters, which it is almost needless to say, he has successfully acquired, as the surroundings of his place plainly denote. After reaching his majority July 31, 1864, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary C. Kinne, whose father, Rufus W. Kinne, was of Allegany county, N. Y. In Niagara county, that state, Mr. K. continued to make his home until 1868, when he located in this county. Here, with his worthy and respected family, he lives at this time, in the enjoyment of the highest consideration and regard of his fellow man. For several years he served as justice of the peace in this township, and was also clerk and school director for several years. His position in respect to educational matters is well known, for he has contributed much towards increasing and developing school facilities in the county. His fine farm of 240 acres has upon it two good dwellings, and other necessary outbuildings. A small herd of Short-horns and an excellent flock of Merino sheep are to be see here. Mr. And Mrs. Kinne have had seven children: Tressa, born June 24, 1865, a highly educated young lady; Marshall B., born March 26, 1867, and a student at the Hamilton High School; Maynard J., born March 15, 1870; Ira R., born March 12, 1873; Burton and Bertha, twins, born August 4, 1878; and Ollie E., born April 23, 1884. Bertha died April 4, 1879.
