OBITUARY

John Harvey McGinnis was born at
Viola, Illinois, November 1st, 1857. He
came to South Dakota in the spring of
1884, locating in Burdette township,
where he resided until his death on
Saturday, August 7, 1920.
He married Miss Lizzie Mcdonald
on November 18th, 1897. Six children,
four sons and two daughters were
horn to this union, all of whom sur
yive their father.
In the iall of 1918, Mr.. and Mrs.
McGinnis went to California with the
intention of making that state their
home. Shortly after their arrival Mr..
McGinnis became seriously ill and
never fully recovered. They returned
to the family home in Burdette in 1919
and have resided there since then.
Tuesday, August 3rd. while working
IN the harvest field he was taken vio-
lently i'll and died August 7th. Funer-
al services were held at the house and
at the Wheaton church, and he was
buried in Redfield.
Harvey McGinnis was one of those
hardy pioneers who have made South
Dakota one of the great states Of the
agricultural northwest. Coming to
Hand County when these prairies
were sparsely dotted with board
shanties and sod houses, he spent his
.'fe and his talents in converting his
portion of this barren desert into a
finished farming land. Material sue
