EARL EDWARD McKINNEY was born 8 Sep 1895 at Hailey, Fremont County, Wyoming & was raised on the Upper Graham ranch in the Myersville District of the Sweetwater River country of Fremont County. His parents, EDWARD & NORA (GAYLOR) McKINNEY, leased this ranch from close family friend James Graham who became a partner in the ranching activities. In 1910, his parents purchased a ranch in the Borner's Garden area of Sinks Canyon near Lander, Wyoming.

After Earl's marriage in 1913 to Amelia "Dottie" Farthing, who was also from the Sinks Canyon area, he continued a partnership with his father and ran horses & cattle on the open ranges of the Sweetwater River and Beaver Creek. Earl & Dottie had 3 children, Lenore, born 1915, Edward, born 1917 & Donald, born 1920. Earl and his family moved to southern California in 1923 when his parents and other family members moved there, but moved his family back to Wyoming the next year. Earl later leased and operated several ranches over the years and had a mountain homestead in Sawmill Basin.

In 1949, Earl & Dottie purchased a ranch on Twin Creek at Derby Dome 14 miles southeast of Lander, Wyoming. They had leased this ranch for several years before purchasing it. Their son Edward & his wife Hilda became partners in the daily operation of the ranch & raised their children there. Earl resided at this ranch until his death 5 April 1974 and was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Lander.
