General Notes: Husband - Samuel Hudson McKinney


He was reared in Cranberry township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and attended the public schools. He also obtained a fair academic education at the Franklin Academy, and a select school at Pleasantville, after which he taught school several terms. After that time farming was his principal occupation, with the exception of a brief interval of oil producing. He was elected township clerk at the first election at which he cast a vote, and after that time served the public in some official capacity almost continuously. For a number of years he was school director of Cranberry township. In 1887 he was elected county commissioner by a majority of nine hundred and ninety-nine, probably the largest ever received by a commissioner in the county.
He and his wife were the parents of four sons and eleven daughters, all of whom were living in 1890. In politics he was a Republican, and a member of the R. T. of T.

He lived on the old family homestead till the spring of 1868, when he moved to his own farm, previously the residence of his brother Isaac.

He was born at the place where his father had settled in Cranberry Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and was reared on a farm. His education was begun in the district schools of the township, and he had better advantages than the average farmer's son in those days, being sent to the Franklin Academy and the select schools of Pleasantville, acquiring a very good academic training. Then he taught school for several terms, in different districts of the county. His public services began early, for he was a candidate for the office of township clerk at the first election at which he was entitled to cast a ballot and was elected by a nice majority, and from that time on he was rarely out of office. His political affiliation was always with the Republican Party, but he had many supporters in those of other persuasions, his popularity being evidenced on many occasions. When first a candidate for commissioner of Venango County, in 1887, he was elected by a majority of 999, the largest received by a candidate for any office in Venango County up to that time, and he received all but three of the votes cast in his own precinct; his supporters did not change their opinion of him during his term, for he was reelected in 1890. For a number of years he served as a school director of Cranberry Township. Mr. McKinney lived on the old homestead until the spring of 1868, when he removed to another home, a fine farm of about 180 acres at Bredinsburg, in Cranberry Township, which was one of the best oil producers in Venango County. When public affairs no longer demanded the greater share of his time and attention he became interested in oil, and was eventually a large producer, owning several properties in Venango and Butler counties. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. [HVC 1919, 826]
