McMahon, Jay (10 JAN 1861 - 24 OCT 1888)

Died, at the residence of Mrs. Jacob Huntzicker, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 1888, after a lingering illness, Jay McMahon, in his 28th year.

Jay was born in Canada, Jan. 10, 1861. He came to Clark County with his parents in 1871. His wife died little more than a year ago. He leaves one child 16 months old. Jay was well and favorably known, not only in Greenwood, Clark County, but in many parts of the county. He has been foreman for the firm of Huntzicker Dewhurst for a number of years past. He was energetic and a hard worker. His funeral took place on Friday, and was attended by a great many people who came to show their respect for and take a last glance at the face of one whom they have respected as being an honest, upright and God-fearing young man. It gives his parents great grief to part with one they loved so dearly. They have the sympathy of the whole community and all who know them. (Headlight)
