McKINLEY, GEORGE E. The subject of this sketch, whose portrait appears in the body of this work, was born in
New Brunswick, August 9, 1837. When he was five years of age, he with his parents moved to Iowa. They resided in
Burlington, that State, until 1849, when they moved upon a farm and remained until 1852. In that year the subject
of this sketch came across the Rocky Mountains and spent four years in Utah in the stock business. In 1856 he came
to California, and after spending a few months in Plumas County, he came to Lake County, arriving in December of
that year. After remaining here a short time he went to Napa Valley. In the summer of 1857 he returned to Lake
County and settled on his present place in Loconoma Valley, about three miles north west of Middletown, where he
has since resided, being engaged in farming and stock raising. He has always lived an active and earnest life of
usefulness, and is now enjoying the highest regard and esteem of a large circle of acquaintances. He was married
December 10, 1862, to Miss Caroline Springston, a native of Pennsylvania. They have seven living children: Sidney,
George, Eva, Ada, Lillie, Mary and Charles; and have lost, one, Ella.
