General Notes: Husband - Cassius Clay McMahon


He was just eleven months old when his father died. He was educated in the public schools of Blairsville, Pennsylvania, and about his sixteenth year became clerk in a general store. Finding the confinement injurious to his health, he was advised by his physician, at the end of two years, to leave the store, which he did and went to work in the foundry. After two years and a half, his health being greatly improved, he resumed clerical work and for three years was employed in the store of J. M. Harvey. He then resigned in order to accept a clerical position in the office of the master mechanic of the West Pennsylvania division of the Pennsylvania railroad. At the end of five years he again resigned, in 1890, for the purpose of associating himself in a clerical capacity with the Apollo Iron & Steel Company, remaining until the completion of the extensive plant at Vandergrift, to which he was transferred. When the plant was absorbed by the American Sheet & Tin Plate Company Mr. McMahon was promoted to the position of assistant superintendent of the mills, and in July, 1892, was made superintendent of the Hyde Park plant. He belonged to the Royal Arcanum, voted with the Republicans, and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, serving as president of the board of trustees.
