M. McCandless, Esq., died in our city, at one o'clock yesterday, of Pneumonia or congestion of the lungs. The deceased has been a member of the Lincoln bar since 1868. He was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania, where he was rearedand educated, save the time he spent at Ann Arbor Michigan University, of the law department of which he was a graduate. Soon after graduating the removed to Lincoln and settled down to his profession, which he followed, attending closely to his business. All that he had he made by his own personal effort, industry and economy. In 1870 he married Miss Sarah Aiken, of Lincoln, by whom he had two children. His wife and children survive him. The deceased told the writer of this in 1872 how much money he had made up to that time since his arrival in Nebraska, and told him what he had done with it. Well do we remember how his eye brightened up as with pride he pointed to the fact that although he had commenced poor, he had succeeded in saving enough so that for himself and little family he had a home, humble though it was, yet, said he, it is mine. The deceased was a young man of extraordinary strength, and little did we think, the other day, when he congratulated us the local of the JOURNAL, that his would be the first death that we would be called on to record. He was a better lawyer than he believed himself to be, and had he lived he would have made his mark in his profession. His funeral will take place from the Christian Church in this city, on Sunday morning next, at 10 o'clock. His friends will act accordingly, as no further notice will be given, except through the papers. Elder Dungan will conduct the funeral services.
