Mr. McNary was perhaps as well known in Primghar as any citizen in the town, and if he had any enemies we know not of them. To a certain extent he has been a cripple for many years, having been injured in a fall from a scafolding while working as a carpenter. He engaged in various lines of business but prosperity did not come his way very lavishly, though he attended to business aa carefully as his feeble stength would permit He has raised a large family and was ever a kind father and husband and a good citizen, so tbat his death is regretted by all, though it must of come to bim as a relief from great suffering.
