Excerpt from the biography of Hiram McKinney published in the History of Randolph and Macon Counties, Missouri, Page 658:
Hiram McKinney
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, and Dealer in Lumber)
Fifty-one years ago the scene presented by Randolph County was far different from that which it presents to-day. Then it was an almost uninhabited wilderness, the solitude of the wilds, so far as human habitation as were concerned, being broken only now and then by a white man's cabin in the edge of the timber that skirted broad prairies. Now, all these prairies have been fenced up and much of the timber has been cleared away; white farmhouses and occasionally brick ones rear of their spacious fronts on the different farms, and the land is filled with a busy, prosperous and intelligent people. For this mighty change, a change not less happy than it is marked, we are indebted to the sturdy pioneers who came here in an early day, wending their way from distant States over high mountain ranges and through lonely plains in their white covered wagons, to lay the foundations of a prosperous community on this side of the turbid waters of the Mississippi, and to rear aloft with their brawn and brain the proud walls of its superstructure. Among those who contributed their full share in this great work Daniel McKinney. Born in Lincoln County, Kentucky, on the 13th of January, 1802, he married Miss Eliza Brown in 1833, and the following year came to Missouri, locating in Randolph County, were for 48 years he labored unceasingly for the material development of the county; and accumulating a comfortable fortune, he thus contributed his full share to its wealth and prosperity, and dying at last at a good old age, left a worthy family of children and to succeed to his name and the estate and to carry forward the great work to which, practically, his whole life was devoted. He was one of the leading farmers and stock-raisers of Randolph County, and died a worthy member of the Christian Church, of which he had been a member for many years.
His wife still resides on the old family homestead at the ripe old age of 73. Of their family of six sons and five daughters, nine are living: Sophia J., now Mrs. Robert Brown, of Monroe County; Hiram, the subject of this sketch; William E., of Oregon; Annie M., now Mrs. Harrison Huntsman; Patsey J., the wife of Samuel F. Campbell; Harrison S., John F, Madison and Laura B, the wife of James G Griffin. Hiram McKinney, the subject of this sketch, was born on the 8th of June 1837, and from that day to this, a period of 47 years, has been a continuous resident of Randolph County.
