McGahey Is Dead Z.T. McGahey, living two miles north of town, and known to all our people as a through gentleman and a good citizen, died at his home last Sunday at 11 o'clock p.m. after an illness of about two weeks. His death was caused by a complication of troubles brought on by an attack of pneumonia from the effects of which he had not fully recovered. He was buried Tuesday at Hollonville with Masonic honors in the presence of a large congregation of relatives and friends. The deceased had just entered into a five year lease of the Gywn farm, and had a fine prospect for a crop. His family consists of a wife and seven children - the eldest 18 and the youngest only a few days old. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
