General Notes: Husband - H. John McKinley

---

He was reared on the home farm in Clinton Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and such education as he received up to the age of eighteen years was acquired in the local public schools. Subsequently he studied at the Clintonville Academy for five terms, being under the instruction of Professors Shannon, McClintock and Riddle, and he also had a term at Grove City College. His course in civil engineering was pursued under the direction of the International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pennsylvania. At the age of twenty-two years he had begun to teach country school, following the profession in Clinton Township while engaged on the home farm and in the study of civil engineering, turning to surveying after the completion of his course and devoting considerable time to that calling in Venango County and other parts of western Pennsylvania. For nine years he held the office of county surveyor. Mr. McKinly also took up other branches of engineering, such as street grading and paving, the laying of sewers, etc., doing especially notable work in the borough of Emlenton, in these lines, in which he was engaged for fourteen years in all. He has retained possession of the paternal homestead and also owns an adjoining farm in the township, the former home of his uncle William Daugherty, having had his residence on the latter place for the last fifteen years. The two tracts embrace three hundred acres of valuable land, where Mr. McKinly has not only been profitably engaged in general farming but also in the production of oil, having about sixty producing wells which are yielding well. He is a stockholder in the People's National Bank of Clintonville and one of the directors of that institution. Besides his professional services to the county, Mr. McKinly has interested himself in township affairs, has been elected auditor several times, and for a six years' term held the office of justice of the peace. His political association is with the Prohibition Party, in whose behalf he has been active in his locality, and like his forefathers he is a faithful member of the United Presbyterian Church, which he serves officially as member of the Session. He belongs to the Engineering Club of Venango County. [HVC 1919, 963]
