McKinley, Janet

Miss Janet O. McKinley, of Elk Lick, died on June 8th at her home in that
place. The services were held on the 10th inst. at 2 p. m. with internment in
the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. She was educated in the public schools of Salisbury;
at California State Normal and at Grove City College. She taught successively in
Greenville and Elk Lick Townships, at Salisbury, Greensburg and Ingram, Pa. She
began her work as teacher at 15 years of age. Miss McKinley was for three years
principal of the Salisbury schools, having the distinction of being the only
lady principal in Somerset County. She was for five years teacher at Ingram,
Pa., near Pittsburg. Her very intense effort in her profession as an instructor
was the predisposing factor in her illness. She was a most minute judge and
manipulator of the human mind. Her ability as an instructor is seldom surpassed.
She was the daughter of Dr. Daniel O'Connell McKinley and Elizabeth Ann Newman.
Four brothers died in infancy and a brother, E. Ord, a teacher in Allegany
County, Md., died at the age of 21 years. Dr. Arthur O. and Anna Orval, a
teacher in the Pittsburg schools, survive, and maintains the old home at
Salisbury, Pa.
