SEMI-WEEKLY INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KY.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1894
Capt. and Mrs. George H. McKinney celebrated their golden wedding Tuesday with an elegant dinner, at which many friends were gathered. The captain was born on January 30th, 1818, and his wife, who was Miss Hannah Paxton, two days later. Singular as it may appear the couple are step brother and sister, though really no blood kin. Capt. McKinney's mother married Mrs. McKinney's father, she being the child of his first wife. They were raised together and no couple have ever lived together more amicably. They raised six children, only four of whom are living, A. A. McKinney, assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Stanford, J. I. McKinney, division superintendent of the L. & N., W. G. McKinney, who holds a responsible position on the L. & N. at Montgomery, and Mrs. William Royston. Capt. McKinney served three years in the war on the Federal side with much credit and has repeatedly been honored with office by the Lincoln county people. He and his wife are much beloved and their friends hope they may live to celebrate many more wedding anniversaries.
FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1895
A long life devoted to those she loved came peacefully to an end yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, when Mrs. Hannah M., wife of Capt. Geo. H. McKinney, breathed her last. She had been paralyzed for over a year, becoming more and more so till her tongue and throat refused to do her bidding and she literally starved to death.
Along in the beginning of this century, three sturdy brothers, John, William, and Joseph Paxton, came to Kentucky from Rockbridge county, Va., and settled. Mrs. McKinney was the last survivor of nine children, born to the third mentioned, and she was 77 years old, being two days younger than her husband who survives her. Her mother died and her father married the widow McKinney. Capt. McKinney was her son, so Mrs. McKinney and her husband were step-brother and sister. They had known each other 65 years and had been married 50, and those who know tell us that no couple ever lived in greater love and affection. To them six children were born, four of whom survive, A. A., J. I., and W. G. McKinney and Mrs. Will Royston. Mrs. McKinney was a second cousin of Gov. Sam Huston, of Texas, and the other distinguished men of that name were closely related to her.
At an early age Mrs. McKinney united with the Presbyterian church and her whole life was a demonstration of the lines: "Tis religion that can give sweetest pleasures while we live." A good woman in every respect, she was loved by all who knew her and idolized by her husband and children. Truly can it be said of her "She did what she could" and henceforth a crown of righteousness will be hers.
The funeral services will be held at the residence at 10 o'clock this Friday morning by Revs. B. Helm and S. M. Logan, and then the remains will be taken to Buffalo Cemetery and laid to rest.
