John McGlinchey Passes Away

The news of the sudden death of John McGlinchey, which occurred at 11 o'clock 
Wednesday morning, has cast a gloom over the community.

Mr. McGlinchey received a fall Monday morning while walking out to post a 
letter in his mail box, resulting in a broken arm. He had but recently 
partially recovered from a severe illness and it was realized that the shock 
was something to be seriously considered. After receiving surgical attention 
he appeared to be resting easy, which lead to hopes for his ultimate recovery. 
The worst was not feared until a few minutes before he breathed his last.

Mr. McGlinchey was 77 years old. He was a pioneer of the early days, having 
come to Idaho in 1862, when he engaged in the mercantile business at Idaho 
City. He afterwards lived in Uinta county, Wyoming, where he served both as a 
member of the legislature and as sheriff. He was married to Mrs. May Noggle 
Alvord in 1879 and became a resident of Payette in 1886. He had resided for 28 
years at the present family home where he died, in this city. 

The deceased is survived by his widow, a step-son, Mr. D.D. Alvord of Twin 
Falls, Idaho, a daughter, Mrs. W. B. Gilmore of this city and a sister, Mrs. 
John Phalan, of Pocatello, Idaho, all of whom are now present to attend the 
funeral, which will take place from the Church of the Holy Family, on First 
Avenue South, at one-thirty o'clock Sunday, after a short service conducted by 
Rev. Thomas Ashworth of St. James Episcopal Church, at the family residence.

Mr. McGlinchey was one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of 
this community, where he had spent the best years of a busy life. In his 
intercourse with the affairs of life it may be truthfully said of him that he 
had only one guide, his own conscience, which preserved his integrity and 
honored the Divinity in whom he placed his trust.

An obituary notice worthy of the life he lived and the achievements of a long 
and useful career will appear in the next issue of the paper.
