Funeral services for Jacob Marion Sinnett were held at the Church of the Nazarene Saturday, January 20, 1943, by the Rev A A Septer, with the church quartet in charge of the ringing.
Mr Sinnett, 88, was born in Richie, West Virginia, March 20, 1854. He moved with his parents to Missouri when eight yers old, and in 1882 was married to Mary Ann Williams.

Witness: Dee Jackson & Arthur J. Hill"l/30/96 Johnson County Library, l925 City Directory, pg. 433: Hill, Jas (Mary), flgman residence 3032 N. 29th. This would make him 69 years old. I was told he lied about his age to get a job on the Railroad, byJohnny Hill's wife at Uncle Aubrey's funeral. Also listed in this Directory were: Hill, James employed Purcell Walnut & Lumber Co., residence ll3l Penn Ave.; Hill, James (Savannah) foreman Massey Concrete Pr. Corp. residence 307 Shawnee. I don't think either of these are the James Robert Hill I am looking for. This would mean that James Robert married again after l9l8, when Catherine died.
