Through death the community has lost one of its oldest pioneers -- Mrs. Ernestine Kay, who passed away on Jan 31, 1923, at the age of 76 years, 1 month and 10 days, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles J. Max, 9618 Winston Ave.
Mrs. Kay was born in 1846 in Pomerania, Germany, and came to this country in 1867. Two years later she married the late Matthew Kay; this union being blessed with five children--Anna Max, Mary Will, Elizabeth Seitz, Helen Schaefer and Louis Kay.
Immediately following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Kay located on 95th St. near what is now Winston Ave.. Several years later Mr. Kay accepted the position of manager of the Morgan Farm situated in what is now Beverly Hills. A number of years later Mr. Kay built his home, which is still standing, at 96th St. and Winston Ave., to which he retired after selling a large farm which he had acquired near Sollitt, Ill.
Mrs. Kay was the oldest living member of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 99th St. and Winston Ave., which she attended regularly until she was the victim of a paralytic stroke last November.
The beautiful array of flowers that accompanied her to her final resting place was evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by her many friends and neighbors. She was laid to rest on Feb. 3 at Mount Greenwood cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Hintz of the Zion Church of Roseland, officiating.
