H. E. McKENNEY,  of Kelso, is senior member of the firm of McKenney & Fisk, 
and former Superior Judge of Cowlitz, Klickitat and Skamania Counties.  H. E. 
McKenney was born in Iowa, in 1863.  His early training was in the public 
schools.  He located in Castle Rock in 1889, and in 1893 was admitted to the 
bar.  In 1899 he settled in Kelso where he is practicing his profession in 
partnership with T. P. Fisk, under the firm name of McKenney & Fisk.  From 
1901 to 1902 he was prosecuting attorney of Cowlitz county, and in 1903 was a 
member of the State Senate.  He was on the Cowlitz county Superior bench at 
Kalama from 1911 to 1912.  His thorough training has formed the basis for 
continuous and substantial progress as a member of the Washington bar, and 
developed powers and talents which have proven effective.  In argument he is 
brief but forceful, and makes a splendid impression.  He is leaving the 
impress of his individuality upon the legal history of the state, and is 
pre-eminently a man who is wielding a patent and beneficial influence.  Judge 
McKenney married Miss Mary Stamp, in 1886, and the couple have one child, a 
son.  He is a member of the county and state bar association.
