BENJAMIN CARROLL MCKINNEY DIED AT FORT TOWSON.

FORT TOWSON -- Benjamin Carroll McKinney, age 37 years, 3 months, and 10 days, died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.I. McKinney Monday night, September 22, 1924, and was buried in the Doakesville Cemetery the following day, funeral services being conducted at the Methodist Church by the Pastor, Rev. J.L. Brown.

Mr. McKinney had been in failing health for a long while but was better at times -- and was always hopeful that he would regain his health.

Carroll was well known in Fort Towson having been at one time identified with the McKinney Drug Company of this place, and had a host of friends who will regret to learn of his death.
