John McDonald, a brother of Jeff McDonald, of this city, and a former resident of Ladoga, died at Kokomo quite suddenly on Wednesday. The body was brought here this afternoon at one seventeen via the Monon accompanied by Jeff McDonald, who went to Kokomo on Wednesday, and an escort of half a dozen from the Knights of Pythias lodge at Kokomo. The funeral services were held at the home of Jeff McDonald on west Wabash avenue this afternoon at three and was conducted by Rev. J. Milton Williams, pastor of Trinity Methodist church.
The Kokomo Tribune says of Mr. McDonalds death: John McDonald expired very suddenly at his home at the residence of Harry M. Grimes, 125 West Markland avenue, at an early hour this (Wednesday) morning. Death occurred from some spinal ailment, and came with but a few hours warning, Mr. McDonald was about the streets and was at work Tuesday until late in the afternoon. He complained of not feeling well, but there was no thought that his condition was at all serious.
Mr. McDonald had lived here for several months and in that time he had made many friends. He was of a quiet disposition, affable and kindly, and liked the city and its people. He was employed as prescription clerk at the drug store of C.P. Sanders & Son, in South Main street, coming here from Indianapolis to take a position. He always spoke of Terre Haute as his home as it was there he spent most of his life. He had a daughter in school at Indianapolis. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge and was frequently in attendance here. The local Knights have charge of the funeral arrangements. Crawfordsville Daily Journal, April 15, 1909

DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
Had Lived Here But a Few Months, But Was Well Acquainted for the Short Space of His Residence, and Was Held in General Esteem
