Bertram A. McGinness, whose death at his home north of Winterset Wednesday, Oct. 1, was reported in the Madisonian last week, had been a resident of Madison county for 65 years.
A native of Ogle county, Ill., where he was born Feb. 4, 1873, he was the son of William and Sarah McGinness. He was 74 years of age at the time of his death.
He came to Madison county in 1882, settling on the farm north of Winterset where he spent the remainder of his life, and where his death occurred.
He was married Oct. 25, 1905, to Margaret McDonald. She is the only survivor of his immediate family.
Early in life he united with the North Branch United Presbyterian church, in which he took an active interest.
Funeral services were held here last Friday from the Ramsey-Richards funeral home, in charge of the Rev. W. P. Gordon, pastor of the United Presbyterian church in Winterset. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
