Ijiist week mention was made
by our New Grenada correson
deut of the serious illness ol Mr.
D. K. McClain, of that place; aud
on Suuday, we were shocked to
learn of his death, which occurred
last Saturday evening, at the age
ot 85 years, 0 months and .'$ days
The deceased was a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel 11. McClain,
and spent his youth ou his fath
er's farm. About a dozen years
ago, he was uuited in marriage
with Miss Jennie, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. (J. Cunningham.
Iu IHSlli, ho embarked iu the mer
cantile business atNew Grenada,
and with the incoming of McKiu
ley's administration, received the
apiM)intmeut of pstmastor at
that place, which position lie held
at the time of his death. In Feb
ruary of last year, he had the
misfortune to lose his store by
fire. Soon after this, he went to
Robertsdale and remained iu a
store there until a few weeks ago,
when he left with view to going
into the coal mines long enough
to become acquainted with the
practical workings of the busi
ness, when he expected to com
plete u course in theoretical miu
iug and engineering.
Just before leaving the store,
he slightly wounded a linger
from a sharp nail which protrud
ed from a nail keg. In about a
week, this, at tirst, a seemingly
unimportant scratch, began to be
painful, his hand aud arm became
swollen, and it became apparent
to his physician that blood poison
had developed. Every tiling was
done human skill coulddevise, but
death ended the dreadful suffer
ing on last Saturday evening as
before stated.
The deceased, several years
ago, found peace iu Christ, and
connected himself with the M. E.
church, since which time he has
been faithful to the church of his
choice; and, as the dark days of
suffering came upon him, and his
friends stood by with aching
hearts, his face bore a radiance
such as can come only to those
whose souls are tilled with the
precious hope of t blissful eter
nity. His remains were laid tenderly
to rest in the cemetery at the
Bethel church, New Grenada, on
Monday, followed thither by a
very largo number of sorrowing
friends.
