  	McKINNEY, ROBERT MORCE (Morris) — Robert Morce McKinney of Sligo died suddenly at his home on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1925. He had gone about his work as usual apparently in the best of health and about 10 a.m. became suddenly stricken with a heart attack. Medical aid was at once summoned and after all efforts to save him failed, succumbed at 1:00 p.m. Mr. McKinney was born at Leatherwood, Clarion Co., Feb. 5, 1864, and was a son of the late Anthony and Hannah Boyles McKinney, of near Rimersburg. He was united in marriage to Nannie L. Hartman, May 18, 1873, and to this union was born two children, Hannah Jane and one son, who preceded him in death. Mr. McKinney was a descendant of John McKinney, who emigrated from Scotland, and settled in Centre County after which he became engaged in the Revolutionary War until its close. Anthony McKinney, his father, fought in the Civil War, having enlisted in Company K, 53rd Pa. Vols. Mr. McKinney was engaged in the livery business for the past twenty years at Sligo, and in this connection had become widely known throughout this section of the country. He will be greatly missed and will long be cherished in the memories of those to whom he was well known and loved for the noble qualities he possessed. Mr. McKinney is survived by his widow, a daughter, Hannah Jane, and adopted son, Floyd L., three brothers, John H., James C and Colonel J., one sister, Mrs. Lizzie Hartle, all of Sligo. The funeral services were held at his late residence Saturday, September 26th, Rev. Holter officiating. Interment was made at the Sligo Cemetery. Source: Obituaries from the Clarion Democrat 1925-1926-1927 compiled by Sally Jordan Reed, pg. 85 The third paragraph of the obituary is in error with respect to John McKinney. Robert’s great-grandfather is John McKinney, the Revolutionary War Veteran who emigrated from the north of Ireland and settled in Haverford Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. After the War he moved to Northumberland County (later Centre County). Robert’s grandfather is the John McKinney who moved to Clarion County. Robert’s father, Anthony McKinney enlisted in the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and was wounded at the Battle of Cold Harbor during the Civil War. At the end of the war he was transferred briefly to the 53rd Regiment and then discharged. (Note to File – JP Rhein)
