ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT DEAD
John McBride Passed Away at His Home in St. John Last Friday Night at the Age of 93 Years.
John McBride, widely known and honored citizen of Stafford County, died, at his home in this city last Friday night, after a last illness of about a week. For two years declining health had kept him near his home, but it was only a week before the end of his life that he was stricken with paralysis, after which he spoke no more and could but await the inevitable hour.
He and his wife have made their home in St. John for some time, having moved here from their Douglas Township farm about 10 years ago. The family also lived for a number of years in South Seward Township, coming there from Barton County in 1892.
We find that the personal history of Mr. McBride begins in West Virginia, where he was born on October 25th, 1824; and spent his early childhood. He next resided in Ohio, and in 1843 was married to Sarah Ruskins, who died about seven years later. They had one child, missus Elizabeth Davis, who died about 35 years ago. Four of her children now reside in Indiana. In 1852 he moved to Illinois and in that year was married to Mary McBride, of the same name but no kin; and they were the parents of five children; one daughter died in infancy, one daughter in early childhood; And another daughter, Mrs. Martha Johnson died a great band a number of years ago; two daughters are now living, Mrs. Harriet Johnson at Macksville, and Mrs. Nan Agner in Illinois. The wife was an invalid for several years preceding her death in 1864 and the husband's time devoted to her care. In 1866 Mr. McBride was married to Martha Stollard of Lincoln, Illinois. To them were born nine children; John McBride of Middletown, Illinois; Mary Ellen who died at the age of five years; William McBride who resides northeast of Saint John; Mrs. J.H. James of Omaha Nebraska; Joe R. McBride and Scott McBride of St. Township; Henry McBride who died here about 16 years ago, and Mrs. J.W. Hebrlee of Stafford.
While residing in St. John Mr. McBride was a member of the Methodist Church, and prior to that time was a member of the United Brethren Church. The funeral service was conducted from the home at 10:00 a.m. Sunday by Dr. D.M. Yetter, and the body was taken to the Lincoln Cemetery, the family burying ground; and the burial ceremony was conducted there by Rev. V.L. Darby of Seward.
Mr. McBride reached the age of 93 years, one month and 14 days, and in his long span of active life saw much that was noteworthy. He was possessed of a fine physique, and often made his strength and tact count in their performance of hard labor which modern machinery has now simplified. In Illinois he enjoyed an intimate acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, and sat upon the jury before which cases were plead by he who became our martyred president. He came with his family to Barton County, Kansas in 1884, saw the hardships of this county and had his part in its early day life.
Note: John's headstone is inscribed with 1918 as the date of death. However, families trees and obituary give the date as 1917.
