Ohio, .January 29, 1843, of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His great-grandfather, David Mc- Kinley, a soldier of the Revolution, was a resi- dent of Y'ork County. Pa., and removed thence to Ohio, where, in 1829, bis grandson William married Nancy Allison. From this marriage came nine children, the seventli of whom, the subject of this sketch, was early engaged, as had been his father and gramlfatlier before him. in the iron industry. He secured, however, a partial education at the Poland Academy, and later en- tered Allegheny College, at Meadville. Pa., al- though he soon withdrew and engaged in teach- ing school. He was thus occupied at the out- break of the Civil War, and early enlisted, being mustered into the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteers on June 11, 1801. The colonel of the regiment was William S. Rosecrans. and its lieutenant- colonel Stanley Matthews, while Rutherford B. Haj-es later served as colonel, the regiment becoming especially conspicuous and being en- gaged in some nineteen battles during the war, first serving under General McClellan in west- ern Virginia. At the close of his first winter's service ilcKinley was made connnissary-sergeant and was soon attached to the staff of Colonel Hayes. After the spring of 1862 the regiment was transferred to Washington, and later took an active share in the battles of South Moimtain and Antietam. McKinley especially distinguished himself at Antietam. when, at great personal risk, he carried a supply of food from the rear to the soldiers at the front. For this gallantry he was recommended for promotion by Colonel Hayes, and under date of September 23, 1862, was made second lieutenant, and on February 7, 1863, was commissioned first lieutenant. McKin- ley continued with his regiment throughout the war, serving as an aide both to General Hancock and to General Crook, repeatedly rendering effec- tive services, and gaining particilar prominence by his work at Opeqiian Creek. Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek, for which he was brevetteii major on JIarch 13, 1865. He had already, on .luly 25, 1804. been commissioned captain, but the brevet title was that by which he was conunonly known in later life.

ilajor McKinley was mustered out of the vol- unteer .service on .luly 2.5, 1865, and immediately took up the study of law in the otlice of Judge (ilidden, completing his preparation by a coirse at the Albany Law School. Being admitted to the bar in 1807, he established himself at Canton, Ohio, his home for the remainder of his life, and although Stark County was Democratic, he, a l!c]niblican, was elected its prosecuting attorney in 1869. In 1875, when thi' Republican candidate for Governor was Colonel Hayes, McKinley took an active part in the campaign. He was himself
