General Notes: Husband - Alexander McAteer

---

He was born May 3, 1857. [HAC 1889, 682] But this does not agree with other dates given for this family.

He was educated at the public schools, and on reaching his majority he set out for America, settling, in 1859, in Pittsburgh. He worked at gardening for two years, and was employed, in 1861, constructing telegraph for government use in Virginia. In the fall of 1861 he became baggageman at the P. R. R. station, and five years later entered the service of the Adams Express company, eventually holding the position of assistant transfer-agent.
About 1864 he took up his residence at Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In 1882 he built a home, corner of Wood and Hill streets.
