Twin Falls Weekly News December 14, 1911 Thursday A few days previouse, McKinlay had left Twin Falls for Portland with a car of hogs which he was shipping to market under his supervision, more hogs belonging to Al Page were put onto the train bound for the spring market. When the train reached the upgrade near La Grande, a second or helper engine was coupled to the caboose at the rear, in which McKinlay had retired for the night. The boiler of this locomotive evidently could not stand the strain, and, with out warning to the men in the car ahead, exploded instantly killing McKinlay.

He was a father and mother to his four children, his wife having died when they were infants.
He also leaves a wife, an excellent splendid woman, who, although she has been with us a short time we have learned to respect.
