ENOCH E. McKAY was born April 7, 1835, at Bloomfield, Nelson County,
Ky., and is a son of Enoch and Amanda McKay.  His early education was
acquired at the country schools, and in 1855 he entered Centre College, at
Danville, from which he graduated in 1857.  Selecting the legal profession
he commenced the study of it in 1859 with Chief Justice Robertson, at
Lexington, was admitted to the bar in 1860, and commenced practice at
Bardstown. In May, 1875, he removed to Louisville, which afforded a broader
field for his talents.  His career there has been successful and brilliant.
In politics he is a Democrat, firm and unyielding, and in his own country
where he is best known has always been a successful candidate.  In 1874 he
was pitted against J. Proctor Knott, in the Congressional election, but
was defeated by a small majority.  He was married in October, 1863, to Miss
Ophelia Wilson, of Bardstown.  To this union have been born four children.
