General Notes: Husband - Rev. William J. McConkey, D.D.

---

He was born and reared on a farm and his early education, though quite limited, was obtained at the common schools, after which for two years he attended the Miller Academy of Washington, Ohio, finishing his collegiate course at Jefferson College, Cannonsville, Pennsylvania, which institution was later known as Washington and Jefferson College of Washington, Pennsylvania. He was graduated there in 1864, having conferred upon him the degree of A. B. That autumn he entered the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, graduating in the spring of 1867. He was ordained to the ministry in the Presbyterian church December 5, 1867, and began his pastoral work at Mt. Zion church, of the Zanesville (Ohio) Presbytery, where he served eight years and then, in 1875, came to the church at Grove City, Pennsylvania. In 1888 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the Grove City College.
In early life the doctor taught in the public schools, but afterward his life was devoted to the church and the ministry. When he came to Grove City it was a mere hamlet and the church was only a preaching station, but the church grew to have eight hundred members.
