Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, November 27, 1916 ANDREW J. M�KINNEY PASSES TO HIS REWARD Andrew J. MC KINNEY, one of the aged residents of this city, passed away at the home of his daughter in this city Saturday after a few hours� illness that was caused by an acute attack of stomach trouble. Mr. Mc Kinney had not been in the best of health since sustaining very severe injuries in a runaway accident two years ago, but his condition had not been thought dangerous until Friday afternoon, when he was taken very suddenly ill and continued to grow worse until death came to his relief Saturday morning. Mr. McKinney was born August 4, 1830 in the state of Illinois, and there spent his early boyhood, later moving to Iowa, where he resided. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in Company A, Thirty-fourth Iowa infantry, and served throughout the great struggle in behalf of the Union army. After the close of the war, Mr. McKinney returned to Iowa and continued to make his home there until fifteen years ago, when he came to Plattsmouth, where a number of his children resided, and had since made his home here. Thirteen months ago today death removed from Mr. McKinney his helpmate and wife and this bereavement had a great deal to do with the failing of this splendid gentleman, as since that time he has been patiently awaiting the summons to join the wife in the better world, where there will be no bitter parting. He leaves to mourn his death seven children, James MC KINNEY, Leslie MC KINNEY, Mrs. W.J. BLACK, and Mrs. Will NEWLAND of this city. A.J. MC KINNE! Y of Omaha and Will and Tom MC KINNEY of Silver City, Ia. Since the death of his wife, Mr. McKinney had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Will Newland, on North Eighth street. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2 o�clock from the Christian church and was conducted by Rev. C.E. PERLEE, pastor of the church. The body was laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery beside that of his wife. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!
