Lincoln Beacon Apri. 10, 1893
Mary Louisa McKay, wife of Peter McKay of Lincoln, died April 8, 1893, at 10 
p.m. at All Saints Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.

Mrs. McKay, accompanied by Mrs. L.W. Harbaugh, went to Kansas City on the 5th 
for medical and surgical treatment. On the afternoon of the 8th, Mrs. McKay 
was put upon the operating table for the removal of tumors. After the 
operation she rallied and spoke hopefully regarding her recovery, but died a 
few hours later from the shock and loss of blood.

Mrs. McKay’s maiden name was McMichael, and she was born in Crawford county, 
Pa., July 24, 1858. She was married July 2, 1875, to Peter McKay, and was the 
mother of two sons, both of whom, with her husband, survive her. With her 
family and her father’s people she came to Lincoln, Kan., in 1886 and resided 
here until her death. She united with the Presbyterian church in 1876, and by 
letter with the Methodist church in 1879 and remained a member of the latter 
church until her death. At the time of her death she was a member of the 
choir, a Sunday school teacher and a stewardess.

Mrs. McKay was a true friend, a good neighbor and a faithful christian.  
Energetic and untiring in all good works, and devoted to her family.
