General Notes: Husband - Ralph McKinley


He had good educational advantages in the public schools of the locality, and began to help with the work at home at an early age, being familiar enough with the farm duties and sufficiently competent to take charge of the property when his father died, though he was then but eighteen years old. Three years later, when he attained his majority, he bought the other interests in the farm, thus acquiring full ownership, and the fact that it has been undergoing constant improvement and appreciation in value entitles him to a place among the thoroughly progressive agriculturists of his vicinity. The farm lies two and a half miles southeast of Clintonville. He follows general farming, and breeds registered Clydesdale horses which have attracted favorable notice at various exhibitions; for a number of years he operated a coal bank situated on his land. In his various associations and interests Mr. McKinley has proved himself to be a broadminded citizen, for he not only looks closely to the welfare of his private undertakings, but also cooperates with his fellow citizens in the promotion of those which affect the community generally. He held the office of constable for some years, was township auditor, and is now road supervisor, in the latter capacity working for much needed local improvements in the way of appropriation and expenditure. On political questions he supports the Republican Party. Fraternally he is Mason, affiliating with the blue lodge at Emlenton and with the Lodge of Perfection of Oil City, Pennsylvania, and he and his wife are active members of the United Presbyterian Church, which he serves as deacon and Sunday school superintendent.
