OBITUARY OF JOHN McGANNON

Thursday Morning May 27, 1875
Litchfield, Minnesota.
At two o'clock Tuesday morning God heard the prayers of one of his faithful servants, and took him home to heaven. For fifty-four days Mr. John McGannon has been suffering from the disease which finally caused his death. During that time kind hand and loving hearts have ministered to his wants, and sought by every means that skill and affection could devise to alleviate his distress.
During the who term of his illness, he was cheerful; and except when a racked by pain (which he bore with great fortitude), he was in the best of spirits, ready to die, waiting cheerfully, hopefully, anxiously for the coming of that messenger who should in God's good time, summon him from earth and its troubles from time and its uncertainties, to the glorious realities of heaven.
Mr. McGannon talked freely of his death, told his children to shed no tears for him when he was gone, that death would be to him a sweet release from pain. He realized in the fullest extent, that his life's work was done and he was waiting patiently the will of his Master, and these facts he impressed upon the minds of all his friends. He remained conscious and in complete possession of his senses until the day preceding his death, when he seemed to be in a sort of lethargy.
From this he roused occasionally and although he could not speak, he gave ample evidence that he recognized all who approached his bedside. About two o'clock of Tuesday morning, the summons came, and John McGannon had ceased to be of this earth. John McGannon was born in Culpepper county, Va., Feb. 9th, 1793 and was therefore, at the time of his death aged 82 years, three months and 16 days. In 1799, his parents removed to Woodford County, Kentucky. Here he resided until 1820, when he removed to Jennings County, Indiana, where he was married to Miss Mary Carney. This marriage was blessed with twelve children, three of whom -all girls- died in infancy. James was killed by the Indians in the outbreak of 1862. The surviving eight are, P. C. Thomas and Julia, of North Vernon, Indiana. Henry, Sallie (Mrs. S. Gordon,) Mary, (Mrs. Blackwell,) Catherine, (Mrs. A. T. Koerner,) and Mrs Martha Wagner, of Litchfield. The Golden Wedding of this aged couple celebrated in this place last October. In 1860 Mr. McGannon removed to Meeker County, where he has since resided. He as a member of the Baptist Church, and had been for many years.
