Portrait of Verne McKinney
Description
Black and white image of a man in a suit, Verne McKinney. McKinney enlisted in the army in World War I. Because of his experience working on the Hillsboro Argus, the newspaper owned by his mother, he served mostly at the Central Printing Plant as a printer. When he graduated from college in 1923, Verne's mother, Emma, sold him a half-interest in the Argus, and made him an editor, a position which he held for another fifty years.
