FOUND DEAD IN HIS CABIN
-----
Another Old Settler of Whiteside County Gone to His Reward.
James McGrath, an old bachelor who had been living alone in a small house about seven miles southeast of the village of Albany, was found dead in his room, Tuesday forenoon. Nothing had been seen of him around the place for a few days, and his brother Nicholas McGrath, who lives but a short distance from the cabin, went over to see what was wrong. Upon entering he found him cold in death. An examination of the body showed that he had been dead for several days. Mr. McGrath was born in Lincoln, a small town about sixty miles from St. John’s, New Brunswick, March 10, 1829. He came west with his parents in 1849, locating in Gardenplain where they rented a farm which they operated until the spring of 1858, when they purchased a farm of 600 acres in the town of Albany, where he has since resided. The deceased is survived by four brothers and one sister. The funeral was held Wednesday with interment in the Albany cemetery. “The Sterling Standard”, Sterling, Illinois, Tuesday, 3 December 1901, p. 8
