McKinley, 43, of Osceola, former Winterset resident, died on the way to an Indianola hospital, Wednesday night, March 3rd, 1937, after an automobile collision on highway 69, south of the Polk county line.

The body was taken to Osceola, and definite funeral arrangements had not been made yesterday afternoon.

He is survived by his wife, and one brother, Robert McKinley of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and a sister, Jane of St. Paul, Minnesota.
