THE STRUGGLE ENDED. Mother McKinley Has Gone to Her Lons Home.

IS.—Mrs. McKinley passed from life at a few minutes past two o'clock yesterday morning, with all her children and other immediate relatives at her bedside.

THE LATE NANCY ALLISON M'KINLEY. half an hour. There was no struggle. She seemed to sleep her life away. The president and all of her family were by her side. There were no recognitions, however. Her last consciousness was hours before her final taking away. At 3:30 a. m. the family, worn out, with long watching, retired for the first rest in the McKinley house for ten long days and nights. The president's wife stood the strain better than it was feared she might. The family in their long vigils have all seemed to have the great strength of the mother, whose vitality at nearly 90 surpassed the expectations of the doctors and delayed the end for ten days that waf expected in a few hours. Sketch of the Life of Metjier McKinley. Mrs. McKinley was distinctively a home-lov-ing woman, and the two-story frame cottage on West Tuscan was street la this city, where she died and where she had lived tor many years, was dearer to her than any other spot on earth. There she spent her declining days with her daughter Helen and her grandchildren Grace and James McKinley, receiving occasional visits from her other children, seldom going out except to church, where she could be found every Sunday morning unless prevented by illness. « While showing deep affection for her other children she had followed the career of William with pride and solicitude. With fond, motherly admiration she watched him rise from the position of prosecuting attorney of his own county, by successive stages to congressman. governor and tlnally to the presidency. During the memorable campaign of last year for the nomination and afterwar ds for the election, Mrs. McKinley was one of the most interested observers. She was always given the place of honor at the home of her Illustrious son. and on the day of his nomination by the St. Louis convention she heard the news as soon as'hedid. It was then that William McKinley showed the deep love he bore for his mother by kissing her as so on as he had received the announcment of the result at St. Louis. All through the trying campaign that followed, she watched after her son with deep interest. She was a freq uent caller at his house and was greeted by many visiting delegations of republicans. Mother McKinley accompanied tbe president to the inauguration, riding in a special train, and remained in Washington until Mr. aud Mrs. McKinley had become settled in their new home. Then she returned to the Canton cottage with expressions of gratitude at getting home once more. Nancy Allison McKinley came of a family which was transplanted from England to the hills of Virginia. The Allison family subsequently removed to Green county, Pa., where Abner Allison, Nancy's father, was born and where he married Ann Campbell, of ScotchGerman descent. Early in the present century, Mr. and Mrs. Allison came from Pennsylvania to Columbia county, this state, traveling by pack horses. In 1300. near the present city of Lisbon, Nancy Allison was born. Her girlhood was passed on the farm, and In MKT she married William McKinley, a young iron manufacturer. The couple lived first at Fairfield and afterward at Niles and Boland before moving to Canton. Nine children were born *o them. They were David AUtson, deceased; Anna, deceased; James, diceased; Mary, deceased: Helen Minerva, now living at Canton; Sarah Elizabeth. now the wife of Mr. A J. Duncan, of Cleveland; William, the president; Abigail Celia, deceased, and Abner, whose home is in New York. William McKinley. Sr., died In November, MGS, at the age of years.
