In the spring of 1910, Brayton McKinney and Jessie McKinney and their families moved to South Dakota in a covered wagon from Burwell, NE.
How they met: Alice McKinney was a grade school teacher.
When she came to teach in the district where Brayton's family lived, he sent a note to school with his youngest sister asking her for a date in 1908. She taught school for 7 years before getting married.
Family members said that she always had time to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
She was very devoted to her family, friends and neighbors.

Later years after homesteading their farm in Wewela, SD and owning a general store they moved back to Burwell NE and opened and operated another general store.
