Pillars, of Dalles, Oregon, from dropsy and complications due to his age. Mr. McConnell was a brother of Frank McConnell, the well-known wholesale merchant of this city, and was born south of this city in April 1845.

Mrs. McConnell died in 1912, and immediately afterward Mr. McConnell went to The Dalles, where he has since made his home with his only daughter. His health has been failing for several months and announcement of his death came this morning in a night letter to Frank McConnell, dated last evening and which read: "Father McConnell passed away at 7:30 this morning. Will lay him away here for the present. Funer! al Wednesday afternoon. Rest of family well. B. T. Pillars."
