On April 1, 1857, he located on a farm two miles north of Washington in South Strabane Township, it having been inherited from his father, and in August, 1868, purchased from the heirs of the Matthew McNary estate, a tract of sixty-six acres adjoining him, where he followed farming and stock raising until 1892, when he purchased his a home at No. 297 Locust avenue, Washington, where he lived in retirement beginning March 17, 1892.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, with which he was identified from 1857, and on January 28, 1864, was ordained and installed an elder. In local politics Mr. McNary was not a partisan, but in national questions he was always identified with the Republican party. He was elected a member of the board of education of South Strabane Township in 1871, in which office he continued for thirty-seven years or more, first in that township, afterwards in the borough of Washington.
