Mother of David McConahay Dead.

Monticello Journal: Residents of Idaville were considerably shocked Sunday morning when it was announced that Mrs. Moses McConahay had died during the early morning hours. As nearly as can be learned her death occurred between 4 and 5 o’clock and was the result of heart failure. At 4 o’clock Mrs. McConahay awoke and told her husband that she would get up. He suggested that she had better remain in bed a while longer, which she did. At 5 o’clock he awoke and when he attempted to awaken Mrs. McConahay was horrified to discover that she was dead. Although she had been in poor health for some years, Mrs. McConahay seemed as well as common when she retired Saturday night and was ap- , parently in her usual health When she awoke at the hour named on ' Sunday morning. Consequently her | death can be explained on no other theory than heart failure. Deceased i was about sixty years of age and had ■ resided in Idaville the greater part ' of her life, and was quite well known .to many people of the county. Be- , sides her husband, who is a veteran of the civil war and a member of . Tippecanoe Post, G. A. R.,there are surviving her three sons, David, of , Rensselaer ; Alonzo, of Monon, and Alfonso, of East St. Louis. The fun- ' eral will be conducted Tuesday at |2 o’clock p. m., from the Church of [ God in Idaville, the service being | followed by interment at the Idaville cemetery.
