CANTON, o., Dec, 2,-The President
and all other members of the Mckinley
family not already here are en- route to
the bedside of Mother Mckinley to-
night The message from the President
this evening was addressed 10 his
brother, Abner Mckinley. who has been
visiting at the home Of their mother for
several days. It caused the mother
much cheer and comfort.
The President had not yet been sum
moned TO the bedside of his aged moth
er, who, no doubt, is rapidly nearing the
end, But true to the devotion he has
always shown for wife and mother. he
could no longer remain away knowing
that his mother was seriously Ill.
Without waiting for the telephone
message which had been arranged for
ut o'clock, he began preparations for
coming to Canton. Ee will reach here
at lO;25 tomorrow morning,
Mrs, 4. j. Duncan, of Cleveland,
daughter of Mother Mckinley, who is
in Chicago visiting her daughter, Sar-
0h who is attending school there tel
egraphed this evening that she would
be In Canton tomorrow morning Miss
Helen Mckinley makes her home here
with her mother,
What was feared this morning when
Mrs Nancy Allison Mckinley was
stricken with n slight attack Of plraly-
els, Is tonight regarded as almost a
certainty; that Is. the early death Of
the Presidents mother. As the day ad-
vanced, she grew gradually worse and
the members OF the family felt that
she was slowly sinking, although after
she fell into the semi-consclous state
early In the day. there was scarcely an
appreclahle change,
Everything that Is possible is being
done to add to her comfort and to
postpone the final scene rs long as
possible.
Inquiries concerning the beloved wo-
man are coming from att quarters, a
flood OF teleGrams having started Inn
medlately after the news OF the illness
was flashed over the Associated Press
wires. solcitous friends from all parts
OF the country are asking TO be kept In
formed OF her condition.
Dr. Phillips, the attending physician,
tonight gave the family little more
hope than on his earlier visits. He ex-
pressed the belief that death was ineyl-
table. and that the only uncertainty
was the time when II would occur It
might be in n very short time, he said,
possibly not for several days, and there
ia a chance ot a rally and postpone
mpnt Of death for come weeks. He
thinks the developments OF the night
will decide the matter He expects no
change before morning.
The patient is taking liquid nourish-
ment at intervals and will not suffer
from want OF food. Mr.. Abner McTin-
ley said late tonight that he thought
his mother was sinking rapidly and he
fears the end is not far off

Mrs. Mckinley came OF the race OF
hardy pioneers who laid the foundation
OF the American republic. She was Mise
Nancy Campbell Allison, was was born
at New Lisbon, o., In 1909. Her family
originally came from England TO Vir-
gtnla, thence TO Pennsylvania and final
ly settled permanently In Ohio. She was
married TO William Mckinley, sr., Janu-
aFy ., 1929, and was living In two story
frame house still standing, near Niles,
o., when her distinguished son was born,
January 30, 1913. The removal from
Niles to Mahonlng county, was prompt
ed by desire TO give her children an
academic education. Mrs. Mckinley was
a woman OF sterling quality, frugal, in
dustrious, plous and proud OF her son.
Her patriotism was strong and passion
ate, and her intellectual power was truly
wonderful. Her husband died November
"a, 1892, Like the mothers OF Garfield
and Grant, she lived and rejoiced to see
her son President OF his and her country.
When President Mckinley entered
Congress over twenty years ago, he was
away from his mother much OF the time
until he retired from Congress In 1891.
During his service from 1892 to 1896 as
governor, he went to Canton frequently
TO visit his mother and he was witch her
from January, 1896, until he went to
Washington last March. Previous to
entering public life, he was always near
his parents and spent much time with
them.
