| John Killinger,
who has been for a number of years patient at St.
John's Hospital at Highland, having suffered two
previous paralytic strokes, died Tuesday at 12:30
p.m. as a result of the third attack of
paralysis. The deceased was 72 years of age, and
has been a resident of Collinsville almost
constantly since 1880. He was born in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, and came to Collinsville in 1880,
and was employed for a larger part of the time as
hoisting engineer at the mines in this city and
vicinity, and for a time traveled for the St.
Louis Hydraulic Brick Company. His wife passed
away some years ago, and he made his home for the
most part while in this city at the home of his
nephew John Stehman, at 606 North Morrison
Avenue. There are a large number of relatives in
this city, consisting largely of nephews and
nieces, there having been no children. Mr. Killinger was a veteran
of the Civil War and a member of the G.A.R. post
of this city, and also a member of the Knights of
Honor. He was a man of the most amiable
characteristics and possessed a wide acquaintance
with the older residents of the city, to whom he
was known to be a jovial friend and most
companionable acquaintance, and his death will
provide a considerable loss to the circles of the
older pioneers so rapidly thinning in number. The
funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the
residence of a niece Mrs. Joseph Mueller, at 603
North Morrison Avenue, the interment being at
Glenwood cemetery, and the last rites being
attended by a large number of those who had known
Mr. Killinger in life. The relatives have the
entire sympathy of the friends in this community.
