Mrs. J. A. McKay died Sunday morning at her farm house just east of this city, after an illness of two months. Mrs. McKay was very well known having been a resident here for fifty-one years. Upon coming here she and her husband homesteaded the place which has ever since been their home. She was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her and the effect of her passing will be sincerely felt by a large circle of friends and neighbors. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband and family on the occasion of their irreparable loss.
Mrs. McKay, whose maiden name was Angeline Hainor, was born at Tuckhannock, Penn., Dec. 20, 1848, and at death was 73 years, 2 months and 22 days of age. When a young girl she came with her parents to Minneapolis, where she taught school until her marriage to J. A. McKay of Toronto, Ontario, Can., on her twenty-first birthday, Dec. 20, 1869. to this union thirteen children were born, two dying in infancy. She leaves to mourn her death her husband, seven sons and four daughters. They are: William, Andrew and Sherman McKay of this city, Roy of Summerland, B.C.; Henry of Spokane, Wash.; Ronald of Ohaton, Alta., Can.; and Stanley McKay of Fargo, N.D. The daughters are Mrs. Wallace Abercrombie, Mrs. Lawrence Olson, and Miss Catherine McKay of this city, and Mrs. Roy Glockner of St. Paul.
All of the children were home in January when Mrs. McKay was first taken ill. Owing to the great distance of their homes, Mrs. Glockner and Stanley McKay were the only ones of the children able to return home for the funeral.
The family has lost a most thoughtful and affectionate mother and the community a kind and unselfish friend.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon of which she had been a member for forty years. Rev. G. A. Hanna officiated. Burial was made in Kinkead cemetery.
