Uncle John McKinnon, who lived about 3 miles west of here (Dixon) on the farm he homesteaded when he was young, took sick with pneumonia on Feb. 15th and died Feb. 20th and his remains were laid to rest in Seaton Cemetery by the Dixon G.A.R. of which he was a charter member. Uncle John joined the Union Army and served thru the Civil War. He was married to Julia Null and to this union was born 3 boys and 3 girls. Mrs. McKinnon died about a year ago. This family never moved from their old homestead. Uncle John was one of our very best citizens, was highly respected by all who knew him and will be sadly missed in this community.
