Online vital records indicated year of death is 1900. They also spell the surname Kingery.
From the 1880 Census, Ohio, Montgomery County, Randolph Township.
Joseph Kingery, white male, 45, farmer, born in Ohio, father and
mother born in Maryland. Wife Margaret, white female, age 39, housekeeping, born in Ohio, father and mother born in Maryland. Children: Elizabeth, age 18, at home; William, age 16, farm hand; Sallie, age 13, at home; Albert, age 9, at home; Edward, age 7, at home; Isaiah, age 5, at home; Susan, age 3, at home.
I was told by Addison Kingrey, my first cousin twice removed, (son of Isaac Kingrey, who was a brother of William Kingrey) that my great-great-grandfather Joseph, unable to handle the responsibilities of a wife and several children, ended his life by sitting on a railroad track and waiting for a train. I have not been able to verify this. |
