THE STRICKEN MOTHER.
Brief Sketch of the Life of Mrs. Will
liam Mckinley, Sr.


liam Mckinley, Sr.
Mrs. Mckinley came of the race of hardy
pioneers who laid the foundation of the
American republic. She was Miss Nancy
Campbell Allison, and was born at New Lis
bon, O.. in 1909. Her family originally came
from England to Virginia, thence to Penn
sylvania, and finally settled permanently in
Ohio. She was married to William McKin-
ley, ST., Jan. 6, 1929, and was living in a
two-story frame house. still standing, near
Niles, o., when her distinguished son was
born Jan. 20, 1S4S. The removal from Niles
to Mahoning county was prompted by a
desire to give her children an academic edu-
cation. Mrs. Mckinley was a woman of
sterling qualities frugal, Industrious pious,
and proud of her son. Her patriotism was
strong and passionate, and her intellectual
power was truly wonderful. Her husband
died Nov. "a, 1892. Like the mothers of Gar
field and Grant, she lived and rejoiced to
see her son President of his and her coun-
try.
When President Mckinley entered Con-
gress, over twenty years ago, he was away
from his mother much of the time until he
retired from Congress to make the canvass
for Governor in 1891 During his service
from 1892 to 1895 as Governor he went to
Canton frequently to visit his mother, and
he was with her from January, 1896, until
he went to Washington last March. Pre-
vious to entering public life the President
was always located near his parents and
spent much of his time with them.
Mother Mckinley saw her son sworn in
as President March last A Washington
correspondent said after the Inauguration
ceremonies: Mrs. William Mckinley is the
happiest mortal in America to-day. She has
seen her son take the oath of office Pres
ident of the United States and her cup of
JOY is filled Mother Mckinley has been
the cause of as much solicitude and regard
since her arrival in Washington as has been
the new President himself. She is demo-
cratic enough to suit the ideas of even the
most ardent admirer of Andrew Jackson.
The reception committee had provided
wheel chair for her at the depot on her ar
rival in town, and when she was told it was
uously. Take that thing away, she ex-
claimed L guess l am able to walk.
When 1 see my son President of the
United States, she said yesterday to
friend, i will have realized the best that
there is in life for me, and shall then be
able to die happy Mrs Mckinley has
captured Washington and all that is in it.
She has given the most hearty responses
to every manifestation of regard and ad-
miration shown her by the people, and has
been remarkably Self-poSSeSSed and cool in
the midst of surroundings calculated to
perturb the mind of a person used to trying
situations far more than she is. There has
been much demand to see the venerable
lady who gave the Nation it's new President
as there has been to see the President him
self. 1t is question which Is the happier
Mother Mckinley or her distinguished and
honOred son.

his mother was sinking rapidly, and he
fears the end is not far off.
DR.. Phillips and Mr. Abner Mckinley were
seen at 10 o'clock just after they left the
bedside of Mother" Mckinley. Mr.. McKin-
ley thinks his mother is sinking very fast
and fears that the end is not far off. He
says she barely recognizes the members of
the family and seems to be growing weak
rapidly. DR.. Phillips said: Mrs. McKin-
ley is barely conscious and is sinking very
fast. She may last until morning, but the
indications at this time are to the contrary"
AT II o'clock tonight DR.. Phillips called
at the Mckinley home. He reported tnat
there was but slight change in the patients

otherwise her symptoms were not worse.
DR.. Phillips retired for the night with in
