Another of Fulton county's foremost fathers is gone. Wm. McMAHAN, who has been a great sufferer from asthma and heart disease for nearly a year, passed away Sunday morning, aged 79 years.
Deceased was born in Kentucky and married Louisa LOVE, of his native state, to whom were born thirteen children, six of whom, John McMAHAN, Attorney Wm. W. McMAHAN, Clara and Tina McMAHAN, Mrs. George MYERS and Mrs. Frank MOORE, survive, the wife and mother having died many years ago. Soon after his marriage Mr. McMahan moved to Madison, Ind., and engaged in merchant tailoring for thirteen years. In 1847 the family moved to this county and located on the McMahan farm 2-1/2 miles south of town and remained there until three years ago when they sold the farm and moved to this city. Mr. McMahan was a leading citizen of the county for many years having served in various official capacities among which may be mentioned several terms as county commissioner. He was a sturdy, conscientious citizen all of his life and the courage of his convictions was ever prominent in his personality. He was an active member of the Methodist church for many years and always an enthusiastic and influential democrat. He had no social creed but the Golden Rule and that was the solid foundation for his wide reputation as a good citizen and an honest man.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon, when a very large concourse of friends and old neighbors paid the last tribute of respect. Rev. Dr. BROOKE preaching the funeral sermon.
