AGED PIONEER DEAD.
Mrs. John Mckinnon's Funeral He'll
at CaniStota

Sioux Falls. S. D., April 11-Today
occurred the funeral at Canistota of
Mrs. John McKinnnon, a respected pio-
neer of this part of the state. De-
ceased was the mother of County Com
missioner Thomas McKinnon of this
(Minnehaha) county and Mrs. Wendell
Obert of this city. Mrs McKinnnon
was stricken with paralysis a few
weeks ago, and from that time until
her death was unable to move, speak
or even recognize friends or relatives.
She was so years of age. One cold night
last fall she was the chief actor in an
event which no doubt did much to
hasten her death. While en- route to
the home of a neighbor to spend the
night she became lost on the prairie.
Several times, becoming exhausted, she
laid down to die, but was aroused to
consciousness by the barks of little
dog which accompanied her She after
wards stated that had it not been for
the faithful little animal she would
certainly have persisted.
