Mr. John McKinnon died of pneumonia at his resident in Colorado County, on Saturday last, 24th inst. The deceased was born near Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 1802, from whence he emigrated to Holly Springs, Miss., and came to Texas in 1856 and purchased property, to which he removed his family in 1861, where he resided until his death. He attained a good old age, and his death is deeply deplored. At his own request, his remains were buried at Columbus (Odd Fellows Rest), on Sunday last, many of his neighbors and friends participating in the sad rites. Peace to his memory.
