  Harry McKinney died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, after a long and 
painful illness, at his home, No. 426 Third avenue.  He was taken ill

and one child.  Besides these he leaves to mourn their loss two 
brothers and three sisters living in Lancaster county.  They are: 
George, John, Alice, Gail, and Annie McKinney.  For two years he had 
been employed as a blacksmith in the lower shops and was a competent 
workman, being well liked by his employers and fellow workmen.  
Deceased was a member of the Knights of Malta; lodge 253, Knights of 
Pythias; Hancock castle No. 124, Knights of the Mystic Chain, and Elmo 
castle No. 54, Knights of the Golden Eagle.
