Death of John McDonald
Uncle John McDonald is dead. After a brief illness he passed away Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. He was 73 years old, but up to the hour of his last sickness he was in possession of all his faculties and was quite active for one of his age. He was taken to his bed a few days ago and had a congestive chill from the effects of which he never fully recovered, but his death was most unexpected even to the members of his immediate family. The funeral will take place from the M.E. church this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the body will be laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery.
