McKinnon Passes Away in Her Seventy-sixth Year ----------- There will be genuine and widespread sorrow among the older residents of Red Deer and district at the passing on Monday evening, October 1, after six months of illness of Mrs. D.W. McKinnon, one of the real pioneers of the Clearview district. Mrs. McKinnon was one of the kindliest of women and during the early days at Clearview her generous hospitality and friendship were highly prized. Born in Essex County, Ontario, on August 31, 1863, she was married there in 1888. After three years in Essex, where their first child was born, they came west in 1891 and came up from Calgary on the first construction train over the C.&E. railway. They homesteaded on the quarter section across the road from the Clearview school, and that was the family home until 1905 when they moved to the farm opposite J.J. Richards, where they remained until Mr. McKinnon's death some six years ago. Mrs. McKinnon was a staunch supporter of the Methodist Church and later the United Church of Canada. They gave great assistance to the work of the Horn Hill church and to the various ministers who served the Red Deer East district. She was a member of the first Women's Institute formed in Red Deer, and was one of the original members of the Clearview W.I. Mrs. McKinnon was able to take part in the Clearview W.I. twenty-fifth anniversary celebration this summer, helping to bake the birthday cake. She exhibited dairy butter at the Red Deer Fair a year or two after she came to the country and took first prize. In 1937 she again exhibited in the same class and again took first prize, more than forty years later. Until her last illness she was able to get about well, and spent the winter with her sister, Mrs. Burke, in Carievale, Sask. Since her return in March she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. R.A. Van Slyke. Her other daughter, Mrs. F.J. Dodge, of Spirit River, has been down for some weeks. There are three sons, Locke of Penhold; Porte of Clearview, and Murray of Clover Bar, in addition to the two daughters, and eleven grandchildren. One brother, John Burgess, of Kelso, Washington, and one sister, Mrs. D.W. Burke, of Carievale, Sask., also survive. The Red Deer Advocate, Wednesday, November 2, 1938
