Jan. 90, 1S43. His ancestors were OF
Scotch-Irish descent. and came to this
country about a century and a half
ago. William Mckinley, father of the
President, married. in 1929, Nancy
Campbell Allison, who was of English
and ScotchGerman descent. The
President is the seventh of their nine
children. Iron manufacturing and
molding was the trade of the elder
Mckinley and of his father. They
were men of strong character and abil-
ity. devout members of the Methodist
Church, and in politics ardent Whig
and Republican. The father of the
President lived to see his son Governor

which possessed them instantly they
realized what he had done.
The greater part of the crowd was
stunned for an instant by the enormity
of the crime they witnessed, but when
the reaction came they surged forward

was much stronger physically at the
close OF the war than at its beginning.
