T.G. McMenamin, Resident of Niles 14 Years, is Dead

Thomas G. McMenamin, 52, who had lived in Niles 14 years, died early this morning of pneumonia. Death occurred at his home, 610 Vine street, at 3:15.

Mr. McMenamin was one of the voters who stood in the line during the rain storm last Tuesday at an election precinct. Physicians believe the exposure induced pneumonia which caused his death.

He was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, where he was born Sept. 20, 1888. He came to Niles from St. Thomas, Ont., in 1926. He was a member of the Eagles lodge.

Mr. McMenamin was married in St. Thomas in 1913 to Miss Catherine Verrell, who survives. He also leaves four children―Thomas, Helen, George and James, all at home.

Other members of his family are two brothers and two sisters, John McMenamin, New Jersey and Hughe McMenamin, Chicago; Mrs. Elizabeth Aird and Mrs. Emily Vandervort, both of Chicago.

Services will be Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30 in the Pifer funeral home, the Rev. Harry L. Nicholson officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home prior to the services.
