*Obituary The Spectator, Ozark, Franklin County, Arkansas
Mrs, Lucinda C McKinney, after living one of the prettiest and purest lives ca (sic) this mundane for 90 years and 5 months, crossed over the river of death and is now resting painless under a heavenly shade of happiness. No more affectionate and loyal mother ever lived. The deceased passed away Sunday night at 11 o'clock March 5, 1922, at her home in Ozark. She was born in Alabama, September 28, 1831 and came to Arkansas in 1836 with her grandparents and father, Henderson Bourland, and settled near Cravens, this county. Nov. 2, 1845, Miss Lucinda C Bourland and John Adams McKinney were married. Five children were born to this couple: Judge W H McKinney, of Wynoma, Okla, Miss Vina McKinney, of Ozark, the late C S McKinney of St Louis, Mrs John W Duncan, of Mulberry township & Sterling McKinney, of Long Beach, California. Mrs McKinney joined the White Oak Cumberland Presbyterian church in the 50's, but later was a member of the Presbyterian church at Ozark. She lived a grand Christian life, devoted to her church, attended regularly as long she was able to do so. The body was beautifully laid away, with lovely flowers in evidence.
The pall-bearers were grand-sons: Rufus & Claud Lessley, Harold & H C McElroy, Jr & L E McKinney
