DAVID McKINNEY.

David McKinney, who lives with his son-in-law, D. S. Burket, on east
Allegheny street, suffered a stroke of paralysis Friday night last and
two others the beginning of this week.  He was in a helpless condition
afterwards and until the time of his death, which occurred at 10
o'clock last night.

Mr. McKinney would have been seventy-four years of age had he lived
until August next and was the father of nine children, four of whom
are dead, the last one dying only about a year ago.  Five are living,
Mrs. D. S. Burket, and Miss Belle, who makes her home with Mrs.
Burket, John McKinney, Mrs. Gray, of Philipsburg, and a son and
daughter who make their home in Kansas.

Short funeral services will be held at the house to-morrow, Friday
morning at 7 o'clock at the resident of Mr. Burket, after which the
remains will be taken to Half Moon, Centre county, by way [of] the
Bald Eagle Valley railroad, and buried in the cemetery at that place.
