Mr. McGinnis moved to Chariton in November, 1905, and was employed by the local electric company, and remained in their service until his death. At the age of seventeen years he was converted and united with the M. E. church at Freedom where he had since retained his membership.
Tom McGinnis was a splendid citizen in every respect, honest and upright in all his dealings, of a courteous and pleasing disposition, devoted to his family, true to his friends, and ever had the interests of the community at heart, ready to aid in any worthy cause. His demise is greatly deplored by all who knew him.
