Most commonly known as McKinley or 'Kinley.
Was a moonshiner and bootlegger in Georgia. He was caught transporting the stuff over the Tennessee state line, convicted, and sentenced to a chain gain in Tennessee. He escaped and went back to his home Georgia, where he instructed his wife to wash and then mail his prison uniform back to the State of Tennessee. She did it, which McKinley thought was a great joke. McKinley arranged for his wife, most of his children, and a dog named Dempsey to be packed into a 1929 Ford and then meet him out west. The family lived for many years in rural Clallam County, Washington, near Forks. Later, the family removed to Myrtle Creek, Oregon, and then settled in and around McKinleyville, California, in 1949.
