General Notes: Husband - D. J. McAdam


He was reared to farm work, his education being at the common schools of his native township, where he proved an apt and diligent scholar and from early life he evinced a strong penchant for study and literature. After leaving school, he spent one year in Franklin College, and then entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated with honor in 1868. His education being now completed, he assumed the role of educator, his first school being at Harlem Springs, Carroll County, Ohio, whence, after a year he came to Canonsburg, Washington County, in which town he remained one year, in the capacity of tutor. He then moved to Cadiz, Ohio, and entered the office of Lawyer Estep, with whom he remained one year, at the end of which time he was appointed principal of the schools of Carrollton, Ohio, his incumbency covering three years; the public schools at that place had just been opened, and the work of grading, by virtue of his position, fell on him. In 1873 he accepted the chair of Latin in Washington and Jefferson College, but at the end of one year was transferred to the chair of mathematics, in the same college.
In his political associations, he was an ardent Democrat, and in religion was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington.
