General Notes: Husband - William McKay

---

He was educated in Waterford, Pennsylvania, public school, and completed his studies in Waterford Academy, whence he was graduated class of 1883, afterwards taking a course in Clark's Business College at Erie, Pennsylvania. In 1884 he went to Wichita, Kansas, where for one and a half years he was in the employ of the Oliver Brothers Lumber Company. In the fall of 1885 he returned to Waterford, and April 1, 1886, began mercantile life as a clerk in his father's dry goods store. In 1888 he was admitted a partner, under the firm name of J. L. McKay & Son. The firm was the largest of any kind in Waterford, and the senior partner, J. L. McKay, was the only man living among the merchants who were in business when he opened his store in 1853. The house is modern and progressive, well stocked and prosperous. William McKay, in addition to being a part owner of the brick store in which the business was conducted, also purchased the old John Phillips property on the site of the old French Fort, and remodeled the residence. The old spring on the property, which furnished cooling refreshment for the soldiers, both French and American, was still a source of supply and carefully preserved. The property known as the “Garrison Lot” was the original site of the old French Fort built in 1753. Mr. McKay was elected burgess in 1890, served one term, was again elected in 1909, his term expiring in 1913. He also served on the board of education and as borough treasurer. Politically he was a Republican, a member of the Presbyterian church of Waterford; Lodge No. 974, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
