Survived By
Other	Mrs. Ada Sutton McKinney died in a charity hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio last Sunday, from the excessive use of opium. She lived several years of her childhood as a citizen of Martinsville. Her father was a well known minister of the M.E. Church. She graduated with honors at DePauw University, New Albany, at an early age. After leaving Martinsville, the family resided in New Albany. She was thought to be a little on the wild side and stage-struck. She married W.O. McKinney, a railroad conductor. Even though both wanted a divorce, the court in Cincinnati would not grant it. [From the Martinsville Republican for Jan. 25, 1883: "Mrs. Ada McKinney, who used to reside in this city, has been figured in a highly sensational divorce case at Cincinnati during the past week."]
