McKinney, Roy Webster

Baxter Springs Kansas, Jan 23--Funeral arrangements are incomplete for Roy Webster McKinney, 32 years old, tub hooker at the Hartley-Grantham Mine on the West Nineteenth street road, who was killed early this afternoon when concussion caused by a cave-in hurled him against the side of a drift. McKinney's neck was broken. The man was still breathing when taken from the mine, but died while being placed in Harvey's ambulance. He was about 200 feet from the cave-in, which occurred in a part of the mine which has not been mined for some time. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Gay E. McKinney; a daughter, Nina McKinney, and two sons, Morris McKinney and William L. McKinney, at home; his parents, three brothers, Ray McKinney of Arkansas, Donald McKinney, at home, and Lloyd McKinney of the United States Navy; three sisters, Mrs. Nina Smith of Ritchey Missouri, Mrs. Nora Richards of Phoenix, Arizona, and Wanita McKinney, at home, and his grandmother, Mrs. Louise Gilmore, of Baxter. The body was taken to the Clark undertaking company establishment at Galena Kansas.

Litteral, who is survived by a widow and child, had been employed at the mine about a year. Another employee, Earl Hostetter, who had been working beside him, had left the spot for a brief time and returning, found his partner dead.
