Martin V. McKinney M.D., son of John S. and Elizabeth (Woods) McKinney, dec., 
was born in Marion Co., Ind., March 9, 1839. He was a medical student when the 
late war 

of Rebellion broke out and was 23 years of age when he enlisted June, 1862, at 
Buchanon, Mich., as Capt. of Co. K, 25th Mich. V.I., 17th and 23d A.C.  While 
on staff duty, 

carrying a message to Gen. Boyle he was injured by fall from a horse, in left 
arm and shoulder, in consequence of which he was cared for by friends.  He 
also received two 

leaves of absence and returned for duty at end of time. December, 1863, he was 
taken sick at Camp Jouett, Ky., with typhoid pneumonia; he was immediately 
sent to 

Officers’ hospital at Louisville, Ky., where he was confined three months. He 
never fully recovered from this illness which rendered him unfit for field 
service and he was put 

on detached duty with V.R.C.  He also had temporary charge of about 600 men 
near Louisville, Ky., on Bragg’s invasion of Kentucky and held his advance in 
check. He was 

honorably discharged July, 1864, at Louisville, Ky., having tendered his 
resignation. Previous to his enlistment in June, 1862, he had served as 2d. 
Lieut. of 19th Mich. V.I. 

as recruiting officer for one month. His grandfather, Ephraim McKinney served 
in the U.S. army during the War of 1812. His brother, John served in the 41st 
Ind. V.I., he was 

captured near Selma, but soon made his escape. Our subject was married, 
October, 1864, at Louisville, Ky., to Estelle V. Cain who was born there in 
1844. Her father, Wm. 

Cane was born in 1816 is living, but her mother, Martha (Hensley) is dead. 
They have two children – Zella E. and Mattie M.  Comrade McKinney is a member 
of Memphis 

Post, 450, in which he has held all the offices including P.C., he is a 
physician and druggist having devoted many years to his profession and his 
address is New Albany, 

Ind.

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
