MCGINLEY, KENLEISDES Neil A. MCGINLEY, aged 53, formerly a hotel and businessman in Braddock, McDonald, Cumberland and Monessen, died at this home in Monessen on Saturday, January 7, 15 12:10 p.m. Mr. MCGINLEY was born in Johnstown and in 1872 went to Braddock, where for 15 years he was employed as a heater in the Edgar-Thompson Steel Works. In 1893 he engaged in the hotel business in Braddock and three years later moved to McDonald, where he conducted the Buchheit Hotel. Three years later he went to Cumberland where he engaged in the wholesale liquor business. In 1900 he returned to Braddock, where for five years he conducted the Hotel Lloyd. Five years ago he moved to Monessen where he was proprietor of the Merchant Hotel until the time of his death. Mr. MCGINLEY was a member of the Catholic Church, the Pittsburgh Lodge of Elks and the Monessen Aerie of Eagles. Twenty seven years ago Mr. MCGINLEY married Miss Jane CROTTY of Titusville, who with four children, Charles of Monessen, Howard, Miss Mary C., and Miss Marcella MCGINELY, all at home, and one brother and three sisters, survive. Funeral services were held at St. Leonard's Roman Catholic Church, Monessen, Pa., on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment was made at Braddock. Using several short pieces of twine where a razor and a revolver had failed, Thomas KENLEISDES, age 53 years, succeeded in ending his life after two other attempts had proved fruitless. Just what led the man to suicide is unknown although it is believed that despondency coupled with a belief that he had numerous enemies was responsible for the rash act. KENLESIDES was employed as a fire boss in the Bishop mine of the Pittsburg Coal company and resided at Cecil. The past two weeks the mine has been closed and KENLESIDES had appeared greatly depressed because he was without work Monday morning, however he seemed more cheerful and talked with his wife in a happy manner. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon he went to the cellar in his house saying nothing to his wife of his purpose. Some time later when he failed to return Mrs. KENLESIDES went down stairs to investigate. When she entered the cellar she came upon the body of her husband swinging from a joist. Almost frantic the woman rushed from the house and summoned aid. The body was cut down and Dr. Q. S. KOCKER summoned, but the man was dead. An investigation showed that KENLESIDED had taken four strands of small twine and carefully making a noose had fitted the twine about his neck after tying one end to the joist. He then stepped from one of the lower steps of the cellar stairway. Two years ago KENLESIDES made a desperate attempt to take his life, using a razor with awful effect. He recovered from his self-inflicted wounds, however. A few weeks ago he attempted to borrow a revolver from one of his friends but the friend, noticing KENLESIDES' depressed condition refused the weapon. Recently KENLESIDES had frequently talked to his wife about supposed enemies who he said we after him. It is believed this was an hallucination as the dead man was well known and generally liked. His wife feared he might take another attempt on his life and since the closing down of the mine had watched him closely. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock the interment was made in the Melrose cemetery in Bridgeville.
