General Notes: Husband - John McCreary

---

He obtained a country school education and was always afterward an advocate of a liberal system of public schooling. He followed agricultural pursuits for the most part throughout his life, which was spent in Hickory township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. In his early years he learned the broom-maker's trade, and during the winter months when no other work presented itself put in many hours to good advantage in making brooms. He was engaged very extensively in growing strawberries for the markets, having on the average each year some two acres of producing plants. He owned about sixty acres of fertile land, which was well adapted to general farming and fruit-raising. He was a stanch Republican, and served the township in an efficient manner as poor director.
He and his wife were Methodists and belonged to the church of the M. E. denomination in East Brook.
