Mr. Sinow had been ailing for about a year, but was able to be up and around until about two weeks ago when he entered the Wyatt Memorial hospital for treatments. In spite of the kindest of care and constant attention of the physician, his condition gradually grew weaker day by day and he responded to the call of his Creator and quietly passed away on the date mentioned. A suffering soul has been blessed with peace.

Mr. Sinow was kind and considerate, and a devout and loving husband and father. His faithful and loving wife departed this life on December 19, 1928, which filled his heart with sorrow, which can only be comprehended by those who have tasted the bitter experience. Despite the sorrow and his approaching end he was always glad to meet his friends and have them call. His presence among his friends will be greatly missed but his life's work is done, and he has gone to enjoy the fruits of labor. He attained an age of 60 years 9 months and 1 day.
