John MCMdhOD- DECEASED,

John McMahon was born in the
county of Fermanagh, Ireland, June
goth, 1882. Died March DIST, 1900.
aged 67 years, months and % days.
The early settlers of Grant county
are growing thin in number, and even
those that remain, belong in the cate
CORY SO beautifully described by
solomon: The keepers of the house
tremble, and the strong men bow
themselves and the grinders cease
because they are few. and those that
look out of the window be darkened."
Yet we are deeply impressed with the
debt of obligation we owe them.
Men of backbone and uprightness of
life, like Mr.. Mcmahon, have left their
imprint dpon the county, and though
they have gone out from us, their
memory still lives, and the good they
have done survives their dissolution.
Mr.. McMsNon was one of the hard
working mcn who came to this coun-
try and carved out fortune by hard
work, close economy, and straight
IOIWdIu BUSINESS ucbuOuS. IIOuulUp
on YEARLY but never discouraged, with
his face ever toward the difficulties
that rose, he pressed on against act
lively interposing obstacles and won
where some failed.
His funeral was attended by many
friends who had a good word to say
in his memory.
The Rev. L. j. Brown addressed the
mourners from the words, so Zion,
that bringest good tidings' and his
words were a solace to the broken
hearted.
Mr.. Mcmahon was twice married
first to a Miss Richardson and then to
Miss Brigham. Six children, four by
the first marriage and two by the last,
survive to mourn his death. MRS.
Levi Garner, William, Thomas, John,
Lille and Clarence Mcmahon are the
surviving members OF the family and
two are dead.
He settled in Grant County in the
1917 and has lived here since he first
moved into the county.
