General Notes: Husband - John McCollough


He was born in Frankfort Springs borough, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and at the age of ten years moved with his parents to Halliday Cove, in Brooke County, West Virginia. From there they went to Missouri and settled in Adair County, where the father died. The family came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1845, and John came six months later. He was a house carpenter and joiner, having learned his trade in Paris, Pennsylvania, and Steubenville, Ohio, and followed his trade in Beaver County about five years.
He married and entered into partnership with his father-in-law. They carried on the tannery business for five years, and for about twenty years Mr. McCollough followed the business on his own account, working first in Beaver and then in Washington county. When his father-in-law gave up business, he returned to Frankfort Springs and remained in business until 1873. He then moved to a farm of 100 acres, which he purchased. He came to own 350 acres of land in Beaver and Washington counties. He was a Democrat.
Later in live he resided in the house he helped to build while he was working for seventy-five cents a day, in order to help pay for a home for his mother in Frankfort Springs. While in Missouri he gave all his money to help the family at home.
