Another pioneer of Allamakee has passed to his long rest in the death of Samuel McConaty. He was born at Cambridge, Mass., in 1828, and came with his parents to Illinois and in the early 50's came to this county and secured government land which has been his home ever since. In 1857 he was married to Miss Margaret Gile, who preceded him in death five years ago. Five children survive him, namely: Mrs. Charles Hanson, James and Leonard of this vicinity, Frank of Idaho and William of Seattle. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, Rev. Van Nice officiating.
