BURIED AT SOUTH BEND.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
VALPARAISO, Ind. Sept. 1S.-In a quiet
corner of the South Bend city cemetery
the dust of the grandparents Of the late
President Mckinley, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Mckinley. have been peacefully reposing
for over half century.
They were pioneers of st. Joseph county,
going there from Ohio in the early fOrtles
and settling on q small farm In Warren
township, a few miles west of the city.
They were plain people of modest means
and lived in the simple manner or the early
settlers of the West. They were much es-
teemed by all of their neighbors. were
known for their quiet responsibility and
their generosity. The story of their lives
and the pathetic manner of their death is
told in the inscription on the stone over
their graves, which reads thus:
JAMES MKINLEY.
Died Aug. 20. 1S47,
Aged 63 y, III IN, d.
MARY,
Wife Of James Mckinley,
Died Aug. 20. 1S4l,
Aged IS y, m, d.
They died on the 43rd anniversary of their
marriage. Lived and died in the Christian
faith and left a large family TO mourn
their loss.
The late President caused the monument
to be erected over their graves, and also
the iron fence which incloses 1t.
The Presidents father. William Mckin-
ley, ST., frequently visited the burial spot
in early years, although he did not live
there with his parents. Every 3Oth or May,
when the veterans of the war decorate the
graves of their comrades in the cemetery,
the Mckinley lot is remembered by them
out of respect to the illustrious grandson.
