General Notes: Husband - John McGaughey

---

He went to California in 1848, where he was quite successful, and where he remained three years. After his marriage he lived at New Poland, Logan County, Ohio, for eight years. He then removed his family to Mattroon, Illinois, where his chief business was dairying, in partnership with some other man. His partner and his wife left together, taking with them the wealth of the firm, and leaving Mr. McGaughey a poor man. He left Illinois, and removed to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he lived during the remainder of his life. He was subject to fits, and on the morning of March 1, 1873, while in a room alone, he took a fit. Falling near the grate he kicked it out, rolling the red hot coals over him, and was burned to death before assistance came.
