• Angus McKay, buried at Forest Home Cemetery in Chicago in a family plot containing his son James, his wife Catherine, and a Janice McKay. Angus McKay died 4 Nov 1912
• James Robert McKay, born in Chicago on 23 Dec 1870, son of Angus McKay and Catheran Harris. James McKay married Charlotte Davids, and this couple had one son Calvin Davids, but James died of tuberculosis on 20 April 1896. Buried at Forest Home in Chicago, which verified the death date. Charlotte later re-married and bore 3 more children. From the 1930 census (below, under Calvin), it would appear that James Robert McKay had a sister Alice McKay who married a man named Claud Trimble. .
• Calvin Davids McKay, born 25 February 1895 in Chicago, married to Isabel X. about 1920 (from 1930 sensus), having one daughter Ruth Ann (mentioned in probate of H.S. Davids, but Isabel died before the 1930 census (by suicide). Calvin remarried to Harriet Elsie Reynolds, but had no more children. Calvin is listed in his mother's 1939 obituary as living in Evanston, Illinois. The Evanston city directories of 1935 and 1939 list "Colvin D. McKay (Elsie H., 1) printer (Chgo) h906 Oakton Apt 3" ; the 1948 Evanston directory lists "McKay, Calvin D. (H Elsie) v-pres chgo, h3034 Isabella" and he is listed as having a phone. "Colvin" was spelled that way in the earlier directories, and the "1" seems to imply that one minor child lived with this family. The 1995 obituary for his half-brother Emmett mentions that Calvin had already died. Calvin listed in the California Death records, died on 3 April 1965 in San Diego, buried with his second wife Harriet Elsie in Memorial Park Mausoleum, Skokie.
