    York County Man Dead

 

    Fred McCann, Born at York Mills, Passes Suddenly on Ranch at Priest Point, Washington State.

    The death occurred at Priest Point, Washington, on December 14th last of Fred McCann, Mayor of Marysville, Washington, after a few days illness.   He had been clearing a strip of land at his ranch overlooking the water preparatory to building a home for his family.   Claud Wells was with him at the time of his death.

 

    Mr McCann had given most of the timber on his land to different men about Marysville who would clear the trees off the land and burn the brush, and several men secured an abundance of wood.   While at work felling trees on his building site he complained of a pain in his chest and a little later started for his home, Mr Wells driving the car.   On the way Mr McCann fell against his shoulder and he hastened to the doctor's, who said death was due to heart failure.   Mr McCann was born at York Mills, NB on August 15, 1880, and 28 years ago went to Marysville, Wash.   In 1906 he went into business and a few years ago retired.   In 1908 he married Miss Margaret McCorkindale, who with two sons survive.   He served several terms as mayor and in the last city election was re-elected to succeed himself.   He was a member of the Oddfellows and Commercial Club and besides his widow and sons is survived by two sisters, Mrs F. Kenniston, Princeton, Me.; Mrs Charles Kyle, Calais, Me.; four brothers, Nicholas, of York Mills, NB; James of McAdam; David, Howland, Me.; John, of Princeton, Me.

 

    About a year ago he with his family made the trip from Washington to York Mills, covering about 5,000 miles spending a month on the way.   He covered 32 states and three provinces, coming in one way and returning another.   Friends here will learn of his death with regret.
