Walter W. KINNICK, the only adult son with a family (known to date) of John and Mary KINNICK, was born in Charles Co, Maryland, in 1809. He was my 3rd great-grandfather. My name is William L. SMITH, and I am pleased to share my research into the family history along with that of many others. My mother is Eileen KINNICK SMITH OLSON.

Eileen KINNICK is the daughter of Paul Harold KINNICK. Her grandfather was Alonzo Palmer KINNICK, her great-grandfather was Walter Watson KINNICK, and her 2nd great-grandfather was Walter W. KINNICK. Walter Watson was born in Belmont Co, Ohio, in 1840, and served in the Civil War from Bureau Co, Illinois. Alonzo Palmer was born in Adair Co, Iowa, in 1870. Paul Harold was born in Adair Co, Iowa, in 1892, and married Dorothy Christine SORENSEN, in 1914, in Adair Co, Iowa. Eileen was born in Coon Rapids, Carroll Co, Iowa, in 1918, and married Leverne SMITH there in 1938. Their first son, William, was born there in 1939.

Gertrude Kinnick Brideson, 85, of San Luis Obispo died Sunday, Sept. 25, 1988, at a San Luis Obispo hospital. Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the San Luis Obispo United Methodist Church with Dr. Lanny Arrowsmith officiating.

Mrs. Brideson was born Oct. 23, 1902, in Coon Rapids, Iowa, where she was raised and educated.

Mary Gertrude KINNICK, b. 1 Oct 1902, Carroll Co, IA; m. 20 Dec 1921 Everett Lyman BRIDESON, Kinnick Farm, Coon Rapids, Carroll Co, IA

In letter from Jeannett Brideson Shapley, dated 8/26/95: (we visited) "about 50 miles from Raton, NM, where my Dad, Everett Brideson lived about 1901 and 1902. The move was to help the asthma of his father John William Brideson but they moved back to Iowa after a brief go at it. All missed Iowa too much. Lottie Manville Chapman (sister of my Grandma Nell Manville Brideson) had persuaded them to join their household in New Mexico and my father (a little boy) remembered the train ride & his tricycle and the huge shot gun held by the large sombrero topped Mexican hired man that his uncle Will Chapman was telling the Mexican to put his gun down that relatives were arriving."

Further, on 10/12/95, from San Luis Obispo: "I retired in Jan 1990 as Records Clerk in the registrar's Office of Cuesta College after working there 10 years and Dick retired from Music Teaching in the Public Schools in the County June 1991 after 35 years of teaching."
