McInturff's Illness Superinduced by Fall
The Scott Republican of Scott City, Kas., gives the following account of the illness and death of A. McInturff, formerly of this city:
McInturff, a resident of Scott County, Kansas, died March 4, 1909, at his home 5 miles north of Scott City, of pneumonia. He was sick only five days. It is thought his malady was superinduced by a fall on his chest. Attempting to head off some stock coming out at a gate, he moved quickly for the purpose, and stepped into a hoop which caused him to fall heavily, bruising his lungs. On Saturday, Feb. 27, he was in town, and on his way home took a severe chill, followed by a fever and great suffering for many hours; steadily growing worse until his death Thursday afternoon at four oclock.
The deceased was born March 24, in Carter County, East Tennessee, from where he moved with his parents to North Missouri, near Chillicothe, in the year 1871, and was engaged as a farmer and stockraiser for thirty years.
This man all these years was not only a successful man in business, but a devoted son to his parents, and faithfully looked after their welfare so long as they lived. It seems that it was his lot to bear the burdens of the less fortunate of his kin. Two sets of orphans were much dependent on his wealth, care and keeping. And all these burdens were carried without complaint.
In the year 1901, he sold his good home and farm in Missouri. March 15, 1902, he married Fannie L. McCully, of Chillicothe, and soon thereafter moved to and settled in Scott county, Kansas, purchased numerous tracts of land near and north of Scott City, until now his ranch comprises about 3,000 acres, and is one of the best improved places in Scott county.
Mr. McInturff was for one or more terms a member of the Board of commissioners of Scott county. He was a good citizen; a man of energy, true to his friends; forgiving as to faults of other men; a true brother; and a good husband and father. This man was courageous in all things meeting his approval; public spirited; and would either lead or follow in all things laudable. He was never known to abandon a friend in time of need. Self-respecting, he bowed to no man; feared God whom he served; believed Christ the Redeemer, and whom he obeyed in the gospel when a young man of 19 years. He was a member of the Church of Christ at Scott City, in which he was one of the Board of officers.
The funeral was held at the church in Scott City on Sunday, March 7. Services were conducted by Elders Neese and Manly, and the remains were interred in the city cemetery.
