In the fall of 1928, Mrs. Zinser suffered a stroke of paralysis, and from that time on she made her home with Mr. and Mrs. John Davitt at El Paso. Several strokes in close succession, were the immediate cause of her passing. Mrs. Zinser was a member of the Methodist Church and attended its services as long as she was able to do so.
