McCARTNEY, Samuel - poor house
Source: Friday, February 25, 1898 Covington Republican
Samuel McCartney, a long time resident of Attica, died at the poor farm early Friday morning, aged 77 years. The deceased was born in Ohio in 1821, and for the past thirty-four years has lived in Attica, and although he never accumulated much means he always maintained an integrity that brought him the respect of all who knew him. Old age with its infirmities crept upon him and rendered him unfit for work, so about three weeks ago he was brought to the poor house to be cared for in his declining years. The remains were taken to Attica at noon Saturday and laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery beside those of is wife. His life was an honest struggle for subsistence and is worthy of emulation.-s
