Â
PAUL L. McKENRICK, assistant cashier and a director of the Merchants’
National Bank, Kittanning, is a native of Clearfield county, Pa., a graduate
of the Clearfield high school and of the Eastman business college,
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. He read law with his father, the late J.F. McKenrick, of
Ebensburg, Pa., but preferring a business career was engaged in the coal and
coke business in Kentucky and Tennessee for seven years, came to Kittanning in
1899, and since 1900 has been connected with the Merchants’ National Bank and
identified with the business, municipal and religious interests of the
community. Since 1905 he has filled official positions in the First
Presbyterian Church and is treasurer of the Kittanning Presbytery. He finds
time to indulge his literary tastes and talents and is a contributor (under a
nom de plume) to some of the best metropolitan papers and magazines.Â
MRS. PAUL L. (EVA GATES) McKENRICK, secretary of the Armstrong County
Sunday School Association, was born and reared in Cambria county, Pa.,
attended the Kee Mar College for Women at Hagerstown, Md., came to Kittanning
with her husband in 1899, and has the honor of being one of the most active
participants in the religious affairs of Armstrong county. Her position in the
Sunday School Association requires much statistical labor and voluminous
correspondence, and the publishers are indebted to her for much of the
statistical information of the churches of Armstrong county contained in this
history. She is teacher of the Women’s Bible class of the First Presbyterian
Church, numbering seventy members and one of the largest in the county, and is
associated with most of the organizations of her church, as well as several
musical societies of Kittanning. However, these interests are secondary to the
personal supervision she gives to the training and education of her children.Mr. and Mrs. McKenrick were married in 1898 and have been blessed with five
children: Gerald (deceased), Kathryn, Robert, Ruth and Helen.Source: Page 468-496, Armstrong County, Pa., Her People, Past
