He had spent the twenty four years prior to 1904 in Burbage, Leicestershire and the Burbage Heritage Group have erected a blue plaque in honour of his many achievements. Their website can be viewed at www.burbageheritage.co.uk.

The upper level where Catherine is buried
Their youngest son Stephen was a well known artist. He died in 1927, aged 50, at his father's house.
Kinard died in January 1932, aged 94, at the Forbes Fraser hospital. Cemetery records show that he is buried with his wife, but this is not reflected on Catherine's memorial stone.
The memorial can be read from the Memorial Inscriptions section of this website.
