UNKNOWN PAPER - 23 DECEMBER 1948 KARL MARTIN MCKINLEY, 52, was found dead on the floor of his general store at Lower Onslow last night about seven o'clock, by his wife, who went to the store to seek the whereabouts of her husband who had not come home for the evening meal, as usual, an hour earlier. Mrs. McKINLEY found the front door of the store locked and the back door hooked from the inside and with some difficulty she forced an entry into the building. Death is believed to have resulted from a heart attack. The position of the body would indicate that Mr. McKINLEY was on his way towards the back door after locking up the front door on his way home to supper. His son Ronald, who operates a garage nearby, called on his father about five o'clock and found him in good spirits and in apparent good health. The McKINLEY store at Lower Onslow has been one of the old landmarks of the County. The late Mr. McKINLEY was associated in business with his father the late Wilbert McKINLEY as a young man took over the management of the store after his father's passing. He served in the Royal Air Corps in the First Great War, and later owned and flew one of the first privately owned planes in the county. The late Mr. McKINLEY is survived by his widow, the former Miss Bessie ROBERTS, of Diligent River, Cumberland County; a son Ronald Karl and a granddaughter Karen, Lower Onslow; and three brothers Percy, Medicine Hat; Clarence, Creston, B.C.; and Fred in Armstrong, B.C. Funeral arrangements had not been made up to press time today. It was the second bereavement in a fortnight for Mrs. McKINLEY. Her brother Percy West ROBERTS, was killed in a car accident near Glenholm on December 9.
