PAUL McNERNEY, 57 DIES SUDDENLY AT BARTLESVILLE

Prominent Carthage Man, Member of a Pioneer Family here, Passes Away in the Oklahoma Town This Morning, Soon After Arriving There From Carthage


Paul McNerney, 57 prominent Carthage resident and a member of a pioneer family here, died suddenly about 10 o'clock this morning in Bartlesville, Oklahoma where he was employed as a representative of Gentry & Voscamp, architects of Kansas City, in the erection of housing units and apartments for the Phillips Petroleum Company.

Mr. McNerney spent the week-end with his family at their hoome, 1234 South Garrison. He left at 4:45 o'clock this morning to return to Bartlesville, making the trip by motor. A representative of the Phillips company called Mrs. McNerney at 9:30 and said Mr. McNerney was seriously ill and stated he would call her again soon. He died within 30 minutes after the family here had been notified of his illness.

Mr. McNerney is said to have been in his room, where he lives while in Bartlesville, when he was stricken. He summoned help, and an ambulance of the Moore Funeral home was called. His condition was such the ambulance attendants used a resuscitator and another from the Bartlesville fire department was brought to the room to aid in trying to save the life of the stricken man.

BADLY INJURED LAST APRIL
Mr. McNerney was in a motor car accident last April 23 at Caney, Kansas while en route to Carthage to spend the weekend. He suffered a severe neck injury and cuts.
A definite report as to the cause of his death had not been learned here this afternoon, but he apparently was stricken with a heart attack or blood clot. Members of his family are inclined to think it was a blood clot, since he had never had any indication of a heart ailment.

Martin Paul McNerney was born April 25, 1892, in Carthage, and had made this his home all his life. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Martin McNerney. His father was a pioneer in the development of the Carthage marble industry and he and his brother, the late P. J McNerney were building contractors here for many years.

Paul McNerney, like his father, spent his entire life in the marble and building industries. He had been in Bartlesville since December 1948, as a representative of Gentry & Voscamp. Prior to going to Oklahoma he was in charge of the construction of the Rice elevator at McGehee, Arkansas, and before that he was in charge of the construction of a bridge at Wheeling West Virginia. He also superintended many other construction projects in various parts of the country.
