Mr. and Mrs. John Murray McKinnon married in 1968 and moved to the farm of Mrs. McKinnon’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Andrasko, near Oak Hill.

Judy Andrasko McKinnon taught school in Henderson Junior High for two years while John completed his service in the United States Navy.  When John returned to Henderson, he went to work for the Texas Employment Commission in Longview.

The McKinnon’s have two children, Marlie, born in 1970 and Joseph Murray, born in 1971.  Judy, John and the children still live in Rusk County on the farm, and the children are attending Henderson Public Schools.

In 1977, Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Andrasko (Majorie and Joe) of Arlington, Texas moved to Henderson.  Joe took an early retirement form L.T.V. in Dallas.  They built a home at 1105 South Main and are enjoying Henderson and East Texas very much.
