General Notes: Husband - Maj. William Marshall McJunkin

---

He attended the common schools and later Grove City College, graduating in 1896. He then began the study of law, being admitted to the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, bar in January, 1900. He had five years' military instruction in tactics, graduating with the rank of major, and at that time received recommendations to the war department at Washington, District of Columbia, for proficiency in military tactics. He played on the Grove City foot-ball team for three years, and after moving to Pittsburgh in 1896 was a member of the Pittsburg Athletic Foot-ball Team for three years. His practice was chiefly confined to criminal law. He was assistant district attorney of Allegheny County from September 15, 1906, to January 6, 1907.
Politically Major McJunkin was a Republican. In church connection, like his ancestors on both sides, he was a Presbyterian. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Oakmont, Allegheny County, with which he united in October, 1905, but prior to that time belonged to the old Plum Creek Presbyterian church, where he served as Sabbath-school superintendent for five years, and as an elder in the church for six years, he being of the fourth generation in his family to hold such office. He was an elder in the Oakmont church as well.
