General Notes: Husband - Robert West Mackay

---

After graduating from the Warren High School in 1939, and becoming interested in a career as a banker, he continued his education by means of courses with the American Institute of Banking and by attending the Graduate School of Banking of the American Bankers' Association at Rutgers University. His first employment was as a messenger boy in the Warren National Bank, a position which he obtained in 1905 while still in high school. In 1908 he was promoted by the bank to be a bookkeeper, work which he discharged faithfully until 1912 when he was appointed head book-keeper and teller of the institution. While in this position, the United States entered the World War and Mr. Mackay at once volunteered for the United States Army, going to the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Niagara, where, after being commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry, he was assigned to Camp Lee, Virginia. There he was placed in charge of the mustering office and shortly assigned to be assistant camp personnel adjutant, being commissioned a captain in July of 1918; he held this rank until his honorable discharge from the service on September 11, 1919. Returning home, he rejoined the staff of the Warren National Bank as assistant trust officer and was elected cashier in January, of 1923, a position which he held through the next twenty years or more, in addition to being a director of the institution beginning in 1934.
Taking a keen interest in civic affairs, Mr. Mackay was an active Republican politically, serving on the Warren School Board beginning in 1929 and as treasurer of the board beginning in 1934. A member of the First Presbyterian Church of Warren, he was prominent in its affairs, and was its treasurer beginning in 1921, as well as being the secretary and treasurer. He was a director of the Watson Memorial Home of Warren, and of the Young Men's Christian Association of Warren, and belonged to the Warren Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Mackay also sustained his military relationships through membership in Chief Cornplanter Post, No. 135, American Legion. He was active in the affairs of the Allegheny Hiking Club, which was organized by him and his wife. In Masonry, Mr. Mackay was interested as a member of North Star Lodge, No. 241, Free and Accepted Masons, Occidental Chapter, No. 235, Royal Arch Masons, and Warren Commandery, No. 63, Knights Templar, as well as belonging to Warren Lodge, No. 223, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
