Description	Moses Horace McKay (1841-1914) was born in Waynesville, Ohio. He studied at Wittenberg College before enlisting in the Ohio 79th Infantry, Company H in 1862. Horace was given the rank of Captain in 1863, and he took an assignment with the 15th Regiment U.S. Colored Troops Infantry. While at home on leave in 1864, he was married to Martha Nicholson of Harveysburg, Ohio. Horace was mustered out in February of 1965, and shortly after his first child, Mary Louise, was born. After the war, the McKay family moved briefly to Georgia, where McKay invested in a gold mining operation that eventually failed. The family then moved to Indianapolis, where Horace opened up a dry goods store. In Indianapolis, daughters Cornelia and Helen were born, and Horace built a house at 1241 Broadway. In 1882, Horace was appointed as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Indiana 6th district, and was later involved in local politics, as he ran for mayor and served as a city councilman. In his later years, Horace and his wife spent time at their second home in St. Petersburg, Florida and also traveled extensively in California, in efforts to improve/preserve his health, which had been tenuous since he served in the Civil War. Horace was a founder of the All Souls Unitarian Church and the College Corners Club, and enjoyed bicycling and writing poetry.
