From the Chastain scrapbook

J. K. McCune living near Highpoint, was found last Friday by Thos Konklin in the road insensible and died soon after. It is supposed, by the tracks found, that his horse fell, and dragged him some ways before the saddle girth broke, his feet being in the stirrups when found. He was aged 73 and left a wife but no children.
