and unimpaired health but ere many
months had passed It was discovered
by an unusual disease, an affection of
the heart valves. which allowed the
blood to flow back into the heart u
soon after pulsation. Month by month
Mr.. Mckinney became weaker and to
even the most sanguine it became evil
dent that the end was not far distant.
1t was impossible on account of the
nature of his disease for him to assume
any other but sitting posture, and
under the combined influence of the
heart action and the fatigue resulting
from an upright position, the sick
mans strength gradually ebbed away
until he died Tuesday morning at his
home at Hebron. Prof. 7. e. Nc
Kinney, of the College, was at his bed
side when the end came
