Da;yton Review, Nov. 22, 1894, pg. 3
Death in Stratford
Died - At his home in Stratford, at 20 minutes past 10 o'clock, Saturday 
morning, November 11, 1894, Joseph D. McKinney, aged 33 years, 9 months, and 
29 days.
   Mr. McKinney was born in Hamilton county, January 22, 1861, and resided at 
home with his parents until 1880, when he entered the Law Department of Drake 
University from which he graduated in 1884 with class honors.  He located in 
Stratford the same summer and has since practiced his chosen profession.
   He was married to Miss Quincie Smith July 14, 1892, who is left to mourn 
hiss loss, together with an aged mother, one brother and four sisters and a 
host of friends.
   Mr. McKinney was elected recorder In 1887, and served in that capacity 
until 1892, when he was elected as a member of this Town Council, which 
position he held at the time of his death.  He has been faithful to every 
position of trust committed to his care.  In his life among us we have found 
him to be a good citizen, ever ready to defend his conscientious convictions  
He was of strong and determined will which fitted him for the battles of 
life.  By his death we loose a worthy citizen.  The funeral services took 
place at the M. E. Church under the management of W. T. Sherman Lodge Knights 
of Pythias.  Rev. Van Horne preached the sermon, and the remains were interred 
in the Oakwood cemetery. - Stratford Courier
