McNally Is Ill In Local Hospital 

  Charles H. McNally, whose wife, Mrs. Maggie Spencer McNally, died from 
injuries when she fell down the steps at her home on East Washington street 
one day last week, is reported critically ill at Lakeview Hospital where he 
was taken late yesterday.  The nature of his illness was not stated. 

  It is said that the death of his wife, known widely as "Mrs. Dr." Spencer 
McNally, under such sudden and distressing circumstances was a great shock to 
the aged husband and it is thought this has made his condition more serious.

TWO IN FAMILY TAKEN IN WEEK 

In Less Than Week Charles McNally Follows His Wife, 
   the Late Dr. Spencer McNally to the Grave. 

  In less than a week after the death of his wife, Mrs. Maggie Spencer 
McNally, widely known as "Dr." Maggie Spencer before her second marriage, 
Charles Henry McNally, her last, husband, passed away this morning at 6:10 
o'clock in Lakeview Hospital, where he was entered as a patient a few days 
ago.  It was stated at the hospital on the day of his becoming a patient 
there that Mr. McNally, who was 71 years of age, was critically ill with 
only slight hopes of his recovery.  He was compelled to undergo a surgical 
operation which at his advanced age was a serious matter. 

  He was twice married and is survived by three children from the first union. 
They are A.P. McNally, of Suffolk; Mrs. B.J. Cameron, of Fairfax, Vermont, and 
C.M. McNally, of St. Albans, Vermont.  He is also survived by eleven 
grandchildren. 

  The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the home of 
his son, 213 Central avenue, the body having been taken there this morning. 
The service will be conducted by the Rev. J.S. Venable, pastor of the 
Presbyterian church of which Mr. McNally had long been a faithful member, and 
burial will be in Cedar Hill cemetery. 

  It will be recalled that Mrs. McNally received fatal injuries in a 
mysterious fall down the stairway of the family home on East Washington street 
last Monday afternoon.  When found she was unconscious in a pool of blood in 
the hallway.  Examination showed a badly fractured skull and other injuries. 
She died last Wednesday without having regained consciousness.  Her husband, 
who was ill at the time with the malady that ended in his death today, was 
greatly shocked by the tragedy and this probably contributed to his end.
