A pitiful case of destitution is reported from the vicinity of the junction. Mrs. Joseph McKinsey lies sick unto death in a miserable hovel back of McManis’ grocery and on Tuesday last her little babe died in her arms from exposure and hunger. She is the wife of Joseph McKinsey, a late private in Co B, 10th Indiana. Last fall Travis & Brown secured for him $1300 back pension money and a monthly pension of 412. As soon as he secured the money he deserted his wife and two small children and another which has since been born. The lady has struggled all winter to keep her children with her and the wolf from the door, but now sickness has incapacitated her for work and she is left to starve. Here is a golden opportunity for our charitably inclined citizens to give a practical demonstration of their professions.

Joseph McKinsey was a soldier in the late war and a private in Co B, 10th Indiana Regiment. His wife, who lies dangerously ill and whose infant lies dead in her miserable hovel, south of Pat McMannis’ grocery, does not know where he is. He married her several years ago and they have lived here, at Darlington and at Colfax. Last Fall, Travis & Brown secured him about $1300 in back pension money and a monthly pension of $12. Joseph McKinsey took his money and left for parts unknown to his wife. She had two small children left on her hands and another which has since been born, died Thursday. She has struggled to maintain her little family as best she could and with the assistance of Trustee Hartman has managed to eke out a miserable existence through the winter until now when she has been protracted by sickness and lies helpless at her home. She has greatly desired to keep her children with her and is unwilling to have them taken from her, stating that they would all starve to death before she would permit them to be taken to the Poor House or Orphan’s Home. She is now wholly unableto assist them and their condition is truly pitiable. They reside in a miserable place near McMannis’ grocery and persons charitably included could find no better object on which to bestow their gifts. The wretched husband who abandoned them as soon as his prosperity came is deserving of the contempt of all who know him, and if he returns should be treated to tar and feathers.
