General Notes: Husband - John Roberts McCarthy


He married and lived for more than thirty years in West Kishacoquillas valley, Pennsylvania, and reared a family of ten children, seven sons and three daughters. Of these children all were still living in 1897 except two.

He was a teacher in district and private schools for more than thirty years. Many of his pupils would remember him as one of the best teachers they ever knew, being far in advance of most teachers of that day in scholarship and administrative ability. He excelled especially as a disciplinarian, being able to preserve with apparent ease the best of discipline in schools that were unmanageable to the average teacher, and such schools were not uncommon in those days. He read much, and, having a retentive memory, he illustrated the saying that "Much reading maketh a full man." To his children and pupils he was a good substitute for Webster's Unabridged. Though a self-made man, he was able to converse intelligently upon almost any subject. A life-long Christian and member of the Presbyterian church.
