Passed From Life
Death This Morning of Mr. S. R. McGinnis, the House Contractor.

Mr. S. R. McGinnis, whose serious illness the News mentioned yesterday, died 
this morning at 2:15 o'clock.  He never rallied a moment from the paralytic 
stroke from which he suffered last Friday night, though not until yesterday did 
his condition become a hopeless one.  Dissolution sat in yesterday afternoon 
and he sank rapidly from that time on.

Mr. McGinnis would have been 65 years old had he lived until the 7th of next 
May.  He was born and reared in Boyle county, this state, but for eighteen 
years had lived in this place, being a house contractor of note.  He was a well 
known citizen and had many friends who will regret his death.  A wife and four 
children, Mrs. R. P. Stanly, Mr. Collin McGinnis and Miss Rosa McGinnis, of 
this city, and Mrs. Doph, of Chicago, are left to mourn his death.

The deceased was a member of Friendship lodge of the Ancient Order of United 
Workmen and of Champion lodge of Knights of Honor and the latter brotherhood 
will officiate at his interment, which is to occur at 10 o'clock tomorrow 
forenoon.  Services are to be conducted at the family residence, 522 Broadway, 
by Rev. M. E. Chappell, of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. 
J. Howard Carpenter, of the First Baptist church.  The interment will be at Oak 
Grove cemetery.  All friends are invited without further notice.
