Aged 95 Years
Gone But Not Forgotten
Margaret Laughery McKay was born August 18 in county Derry, Ireland and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sam Rogers, August 28, 1914 at the advanced age of 95 years, and 10 days. The husband William Mckay, and one son preceded her in death. Her husband died at their home in Ireland April 11, 25 years ago, after which she and the family sailed for America and settled near Reynolds, Illinois, and later at Viola, Ill. And two year ago last March came with her daughter's family to Thornburg, Iowa, at which place they still reside. Grandma McKay was a faithful believer in Christ, having always belonged to the Presbyterian church. She was a kind and loving mother, always had a cheery welcome for each and everyone, loved by all the little children and all that knew her. Our loss is her gain. She leaves to mourn her loss 4 sons and 2 daughters, being Samuel, James, and George all of Thornburg and Mrs. Lizze Rogers of Thornburg, a son and daughter in Canada, 24 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren and host of friends.
