Per Roger Rhoads, 8/2010: A number of folks have his death as May 13, 1906, but his wife was a widow in 1900. Another has May 13, 1928.
Online vital records indicated year of death is 1900. They also spell the surname Kingery.
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. For years I thought this might have been a practical joke by Addison. However, cousin Fred Kingrey confirms that his father Ivan told him this on several occasions.
