Died-In Ashland, Wisconsin, July 13, 1920, Dellivan McGinnis, age 33 years, 6 months and 15 days.

Dellivan McGinnis was the son of Mrs. Lillie Cross, of Union. He was born at Milton, Oregon, in 1887. He was married to Miss Rita Wilson, July 30, 1910. He enlisted in the U.S. Marines in May, 1918, and received a discharge March 4, 1919. He died at Ashland, Wisconsin, July 1`3, 1920. His body accompanied by his wife arrived in Union Tuesday morning, July 20. He is survived by his widow, his mother and step-father, two half-brothers and three half-sisters. Two half-bothers preceded him to the great unknown, one in infancy and one who gave his life for his country overseas.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, July 20, at the Cross residence, sermon by Rev. Cook of the M. E. church, music by the choir. The Elks were in charge of the services at the cemetery, and the body was laid to rest amid flags and bunting and beautiful flowers. Sincere sympathy is extended by many friends to the bereaved family.

The body of Pat McGinnis, a man of about 45 years of age, and who had lived in Baker county for a number of years, was found Friday morning, in a cabin about three miles from Salisbury, near Lockhart. A bullet hole in the chest, and a shot-gun lying beside the body, gave indications as to how the man met his death.

The body was taken to Baker and Coroner Earl West held an inquest. A jury, after three hours of inquiry, gave a verdict of "murder, or death from gun-shot wound inflicted by someone, other than himself."

The body was discovered it is said, by Elmer Gibbs, Bryant Gibbs and Chas. Mack, who told the officers they were in the vicinity hunting horses when they found the body.

The man had been dead about 24 hours when discovered, it is said.

Two 100 gallon barrels, each half filled with mash, were found in the cabin. The mash was made of figs, prunes, and yeast.
