General Notes: Husband - John McKain
After his parents established themselves in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he attended school and then worked in a brickyard there until he accompanied his father to Washington Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. In 1858 he bought a farm of 132 acres in Venango Township, Butler County, and after clearing it he returned to Philadelphia, where he conducted a brickyard of his own. He was married there and then returned to his Butler County land, on which he resided thereafter. Mr. McKain sold all of his farm, except fifty-two acres, to his son Silas. Mr. McKain did all the improving on the land and developed it into a valuable property. He was a prominent citizen in his neighborhood during his active years, took a deep interest in public matters and on the Democratic ticket was elected township auditor and school director, serving for three years in the former office and for twelve years in the latter. He was one of the leading members of the Eau Claire Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a trustee and steward for over thirty years and his seat in the sanctuary was seldom vacant, although he had to drive two miles from his farm to the village.
