JOHN MCKENNA LAID TO REST
John McKenna, a well known resident of this
city passed away at his home Wednesday April 12, 1922 at twelve
o'clock.
Deceased was born in Adlet village, Ontario, Canada on July 4,
1846, being 76 years old at the time of his death. He came to Clark
County in 1876 and was united in marriage to Signie Huntzicker in
1882. Clark County was then a wilderness with only a few thinly
scattered neighbors, and nearly a score of years found him in the
lumber camps during the winters. Nearly forty years ago Mr. and
Mrs. McKenna began the battle of life together on their farm three
miles south of this city, where they lived until about three years
ago, when his health failed him and they moved to town.
Eight children were born to this union. The six surviving are
Adolph and John of Portland, Ore. Wm. On the home place Mrs. Fred
Halle of Janesville Settlement and Martha and Mary of Greenwood.
They are left to hold in remembrance a true husband and patient,
loving father.
For over two years he has been a patient sufferer. Everything that
could be done to gain his recovery was done but to no avail, and
lovingly and peacefully he harkened to the Savior's call.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his devoted wife, six children, eight
grandchildren, five sisters, three of Ontario, Canada and two of
Arizona, besides a host of friends who join the Gleaner in sympathy
for the bereaved family.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at the Catholic Church,
Rev. Achtelik officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic Cemetery.
