General Notes: Husband - John J. MacKinney


He was born at Parkers Landing, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was graduated from Grove City College in the class of 1899 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In 1904, with his father and brother, he was one of the purchasers of the Butler Engine and Foundry Company. He was also a director of the Farmers' National Bank.
He was a member of Victory Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons; Butler Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Lorraine Commandery, Knights Templar; Council No. 45, New Castle Consistory. Mr. MacKinney served as deacon in the Second United Presbyterian Church.

The Butler Engine and Foundry Company, conducted by members of the MacKinney, was a well-established concern, one of the most prominent in Butler, Pennsylvania. It was first started in Foxburg, after several years moved to Bradford, and in 1882 located in Butler, being then under the management of Messrs. Ball, Shears and McKee and engaged in the manufacture of the Ball engine, which had been invented by Mr. Ball. In 1904 the concern was purchased by the following members of the MacKinney family: H. B. MacKinney, and his sons and daughters: M. M. MacKinney, J. J. MacKinney, Lydia A. MacKinney and S. Gertrude MacKinney.
The Ball engine was the universally accepted engine for oil well use and was employed in all parts of the world where there was petroleum. The plant, at which sixty men were employed [1926], occupied two acres of land, with buildings, yard storage and a siding on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
