Excerpt from Official Proceedings of the Twelfth Republican National Convention: Held in the City of Philadelphia, June 19, 20 and 21, 1900; Resulting in the Renomination of William McKinley, of Ohio, for President and the Nomination of Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, for Vice-President William McKinley, the unanimous nominee of the Convention, was born at Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, January 29, 1843, and has made that State his home during his entire life. He is of Scotch-Irish stock, his great-great-grandfather, James McKinley, having come from the north of Ireland to the United States in the first half of the eighteenth century and settled in York County, Pennsylvania, where, on May 16, 1755, was born to him a son, David McKinley, who was the great-grandfather of the present William McKinley. David McKinley evinced his loyalty to the country by serving as a private in the War of the Revolution, as shown by the records of the Pension Bureau and War Department. His son. James McKinley, was the father of William McKinley, Sr., the father of the present President and nominee of the Convention. William McKinley, Sr., the father of President McKinley, removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio with his parents in childhood, and on reaching manhood became interested in iron manufacturing and the management of iron furnaces, in which he was engaged until the time of his retirement from business in 1876. As a consequence William, Jr., President, came to have a practical knowledge of one of the greatest manufacturing industries of the United States and of the important relation which those industries sustain to that greatest of all industries - agriculture. Growing to manhood in the country town of Poland, Ohio, to which his father, on account of its superior educational facilities, had removed. William Jr. familiarized himself with many of the details of the daily occupation of those with whom lie was brought constantly in contact. With the method? of the country´ storekeeper, the iron manufacturer, the farmer, the school teacher, the postmaster, the book-keeper and the business man of the village, he was thoroughly familiar and his progress as a student in the Academy of Poland was so rapid that it enabled him, at an early age, to become instructor in the district school, thus adding to his funds with which to pursue his studies in the Academy. Of his career at that time an old citizen of Poland, being asked for reminiscences of Mr. McKinley, said: "He was always studying, studying, studying all the time." Thus he became familiar with the details of the life of the masses of the people in whose welfare and prosperity he has shown such a marked interest during all of his public career. The first great event in his life, which has been characterized by many striking incidents, occurred in June, 1861.
