DEATH CERTIFICATE: 
OBITUARY: 
MISS NINA McNARY CALLED BY DEATH 
Sister of two Noted Oregon Men Helped The Toward National Prominence 
Miss Nina McNary died at the home of her sister, Mrs. W.T. Stoltz, 495 North Winter street, at 4:20 Saturday morning, after a lingering illness. 
She was born August 8, 1857, on the donation land claim farm of her grandfather, Charles Claggett, about four miles north of Salem, on a part of which land is the present home of Senator Charles L. McNary, her brother. 
Her parents were Hugh Linzy McNary and Mary Margaret Claggett McNary. Her childhood and early school years were spent there. The father, who came with the covered wagon immigration of 1845, died in 1878, and the mother passed away five years later. Two children had died in infancy, and the mother’s death left six orphaned children. Nina McNary became the good angel of the family; took the place of both a strong and supporting father and a loving and devoted mother. Their material as well as moral support depended much upon her. How well she performed her willingly though at times hard borne tasks, while the boys were younger children of the orphaned family, is attested by the fact that one of them, John H. McNary, is United States judge in Portland, and the other, Charles L. McNary, is the senior member of the United States senate from Oregon, and high in the nation’s councils. Both of them have persistently acknowledged their debt and gratitude, through the years, adding to her pride and satisfaction. There was a younger sister, Martha, who was long a teacher in the Salem public schools. The other sisters are Ella (Mrs. Walter T. Stolz) of Salem, and Mary Elizabeth Bruce, wife of Thomas Bruce of Portland. Nina McNary did not weary in well doing after her responsibilities with the orphaned family were ended as they took their own places in professional and business and home life. She was one of the strong supports of the Baptist church, of which she early became a member, and an outstanding teacher in its Sunday school. She worked with the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. Her help with the auxiliary of the former in its beginning days went a log way in keeping its frail craft afloat and rendering it able to get a home of its own. In all good works, Nina McNary was tireless, never sparing herself, never vain-glorious, quiet and unassuming.
