Note: His last name is actually Mackay but I left the obituary as it was for family doing research so it would be easier to find for those doing family searching. Often, especially in older newspapers names are misspelled. His year of birth is listed as 1886 on his gravestone.

Note: His first wife's maiden name is Stauffer and her first married name was Milton. His second wife's maiden Gerdes and her first married named is McKettrick.
