Milton Barron McKay was a younger son of Ira Zeno McKay and Delilah Marble, born in Claiborne County, Mississippi. Milton joked a lot and often teased his younger sister, Floy. He and Floy were close friends. In fact, he had many friends all his life and appeared to "never know a stranger." He "was a part of so many people's lives, quite honestly, it was staggering."
He and his siblings attended Sarepta School, located behind the Sarepta Church, near Hermanville (and old Brandywine), Claiborne, Mississippi.
Milton served in the U.S. Navy, listed as "Chief Pharm." He and his family lived in Haiti for a time. Milton was called "Cap'N Mac" which was shown in the corner of his tombstone & he was also called "Mac" by his nephew, Charles.
His son, John Barron McKay was a renowned pilot for the X-15, during the early space program of the 1960's and more about him is linked here to this son's site.
Milton & his wife, Wilhelmina Dearing, had a beautiful home in the Virginia/West Virginia region. Milton was tall.
Milton traveled in his work for a large company & came to stay at our home in Texas in the sixties, around every year, pulling in the driveway in a new Cadillac. He always offered gum to all his great nieces. He spent many hours talking with his nephew, Charles McKay. They enjoyed looking at guns. Milton loved to hunt and talk about it with his nephew, Charles.
Milton loved Sarepta Church and wrote to his sister Floy about Sarepta and the home times as a child. His son, Charles McKay, was interested in the history.
