CONSTANCE
Jacob McKay, probably the oldest native born citizen of his neighborhood, 
died of erysipelas late last Thursday afternoon in the 68th year of his age, 
at his home on top of the river hill just below Bromley, in Kenton county.  
He was a son of the late Joseph McKay, and was born and raised on the farm 
where he spent his entire life, and last Sunday afternoon the remains were 
deposited in their last earthly resting place only a few hundred yards from 
his residence and the place of his birth, the Odd Fellows of which order he 
had long been a member, having charge.  A short religious service was 
conducted at the house by Revs. H. P. Duncan and A. Logan Vickers in the 
presence of a large assemblage of friends.  Mr. McKay's widow is a sister 
of Addison Riddell, of Bullittsville, this county.  His wife, three sons 
and three daughters survive him, Mrs. Senior, of near Hopeful Church, being 
one of the daughters.  In the death of Mr. McKay the community has lost a 
good citizen.
