apopleotic stroke on Main Street in this
town on Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Nc

ing to his business he complained of
feeling uuwell and later stopped in
Frazers drug store where after receiving
a dose of paregoric which he called for
he started toward the National Bank TO
transact some banking business. At the
time he was in the store he chatted with
several of his friends, and had gone no
further on his way to the bank than
Alexauders hardware store when he sat
down on the platform Oh which the
hardware goods are displayed in front of
the store, and a lew minutes later fell to
the pavement dead. DR.. Buchanan was
quietly summoned None of his friends
in Elkton were aware of his serious con
dition and his sudden demise was
great shock to his son, who at the time
was transacting several business errands
in another section of the town. Mr..
McKenney was not subject to heart
failure as far as his family knew.
He was rs years Of age and leaves a
widow and nine children, seven sous and
two daughters. His sons all reside i'll
this county, Mr.. William g. Mckinney
residing on the farm owned by his father
in Elk Neck.
Undertaken Nlnsinger took charge oil
the remains, and Corner Litzenberg was
summoned, who after investigating the
case deemed an inquest unnecessary.
