Death of T D McElroy Noted in Washington Community
Mrs. R A Riley reports the death of her nephew T D McElroy aged 26, last summer in Washington. Born in Washington, he spent most of his life in Marshalltown and was buried there after a prolonged illness following a grip in winter. Rev. Jesse Cole led the funeral with pallbearers from the Sons of Veterans, to which McElroy belonged. The piece then shifts to a feature on Kentucky Mountaineers, praising Appalachian culture and dialects as preserved among isolated families, with anecdotes of old ballads and linguistic patterns.
