First Lady. The house is their house in Canton, Ohio.
I have lived in Canton all my life and have seen pictures

in Canton dedicated to his memory where William and Ida McKinley
are interred.

Ida McKinley's Maiden name was Saxton
nd Katherine DeWalt-Saxton. Her grandfather, John Saxton, in 1815 founded the The Repository, the city's first and now its only newspaper. A graduate of Brook Hall Seminary, a finishing school in Media, Pennsylvania, Ida was refined, charming, and strikingly attractive when she met William "Bill" McKinley at a picnic in 1867. They did not begin courting until after she returned from a European tour in 1869. While single, she worked for a time as a cashier in her father's bank, a position then usually reserved for men.
William McKinley, aged 27, married Ida Saxton, aged 23, on January 25, 1871, at the First Presbyterian Church in Canton, then still under construction. Following the wedding, performed by the Reverend E. Buckingham and the Reverend Dr. Endsley, the couple attended a reception at the home of the bride's parents and left on an eastern wedding trip.
