He had been a long time resident of Story county, having lived here for about 38 years. He had been a good farmer, and a splendid neighbor and ahs also had very fine neighbors who came in recently with several tractors and equipment and took care of his corn crop in laying it by for the season. Neighbors did the plowing before and Glen the planting.

Brother Ralph made his confession of Christ while a young man at the age of 16 at Hutchinson, Kansas, when he united with the Christian church. He placed his church membership in the Nevada Christian church on September 24, 1927. Brother McKinney had attended, as he was able, the church services, and has always enjoyed the fellowship of worship. This spring, early, he attended morning worship services when it was really quite difficult for him to come.
