Lyman McKinley & Nellie Eveleth


Members of Pioneer Families Pass
Golden Wedding Date at St. Ansgar

St. Ansgar, Iowa, October 10 -- The children and grandchildren and a few friends of Mr. and Mrs. L. G. McKinley of near St. Ansgar help them yesterday to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Because of Mr. McKinley's poor health the celebration was simple.

Lymah G. McKinley and Nellie Eveleth were married at Northwood, Iowa, Oct. 8, 1879, at the home of Rev. Philip Eveleth, father of the bride. They came at once to the McKinley estate, living in the house now occupied by their son, Harold McKinley.

The McKinley homestead is one of the landmarks of Mitchell county. Lyman McKinley's father came among the very first of the Mitchell county pioneers. Tho Lyman McKinley was too young to go to war and was left to do a man's work at home, his four brothers were all in the Civil war on the union side. His brother, Seymour J. McKinley, was a captain, making a notable name for himself and leadership.

Mrs. McKinley's family was also among the pioneers of this section. Her father, Rev. Mr. Eveleth, was a Yale man who came west in October, 1863. He early settled in the Newburg community where the McKinleys already had a big tract of land and where was located the first town in this part of the country. This site of the old town of Newburg is part of what is now the McKinley homestead. When the railroad came through to the present site of St. Ansgar, store buildings, blacksmith shops, etc., were moved from Newburg.

Mr. and Mrs. McKinley have four children and seven grandchildren. Their eldest daughter is Ethel Evelyn Bliss, wife of R.K. Bliss, director of the extension service of the Iowa State College at Ames; Angelle** M. McKinley, second daughter, until this fall was for many years secretary of the college Y.W.C.A. at Ames. She is spending this year in study at Columbia University, specializing in the field of psychology. Harriet Bell Brown, third daughter, is the wife of Lowell Brown of Minneapolis. The daughters were all known musicians and all taught in high schools of the state.

Harold McKinley, the only son, is a farmer. He was a well known football player at Ames, for two years all-state tackle. He was chairman of the Mitchell County delegation at the last Iowa Republican convention. He was an officer in the world war.

The grandchildren are Robert M. William, and Richard Bliss; Bruce McKinley Brown, and Philip, Donald and Hal McKinley, the three sons of Harold McKinley.

NOTE: It is believed that Angelle's name should be Angeline.
