Oscar Olin McKinney, also known as C. O. McKinney, was born 23 July 1896 in the Turkey Creek Community in Cass County, Texas. He was the tenth child of Mary Ann “Molly” Duck and Lemuel Meredy “Bud” McKinney. Oscar attended school in a oneroom school across the road from the Turkey Creek Missionary Baptist Church. Like a lot of young men, Oscar enjoyed the practical joke. Often neighbors were on the receiving end of his jokes.
The Witness Protection Program was formed in the late 1960s to protect very important witnesses from intimidation or retaliation before, during and after a trial in question.

Sarah laughed when she heard the Lord tell Abraham, “Sarah, thy wife shall have a son.” (Gen. 18:10). Her thoughts were on the outward appearance, we are too old, I am post-menopausal. If I couldn’t have a baby twelve years ago, how am I going to have one now? I had to give my maid Hagar to Abraham to raise up seed in my place, so how shall I bear a child now, which am old? Sarah didn’t realize that the Lord heard her, and spoke “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
