General Notes: Husband - John L. McKinley

---

He had the best educational advantages that the locality afforded. As a youth he helped his father on the farm and in the store, where he was occupied entirely for two years, and before his marriage took entire charge of the farm, which he had been conducting for seventeen years at the time of his father's death. Then he bought out the interests of the other heirs in the property, thus becoming sole owner of the place, a very desirable location near the borough of Polk and but four miles west of Franklin. In addition to general farming, he conducted a dairy at Polk for twelve years, keeping a good grade of Holstein cattle.
He served on the school board and was the township assessor, but never aspired to county office, though a popular member of the Republican Party and local committeeman. He was a trustee of the Polk M. E. Church, and well known in the fraternal bodies, affiliating with the Odd Fellows at Polk and the blue lodge of Masons at Franklin. He was a past noble grand in the I. O. O. F. and representative to the Grand Lodge, as well as a member of the Rebekahs, Mrs. McKinley being secretary of the Rebekah lodge, of which she was the first noble grand.
