General Notes: Husband - Judge Ebenezer McJunkin


His early years were occupied in attending the primitive schools of the neighborhood, and in working upon the home farm, and in the Mt. Etna Iron Works, in Slipperyrock Township, for many years owned by his father. It was determined, however, that he should have a more advanced education than was attainable at home, and he attended Jefferson College, of Washington, Penn., from which he graduated in September, 1841. Then he came to Butler and read law under the late Charles C. Sullivan, Esq. He was admitted to practice in September, 1843, and made slow but sure advancement in his profession. His worthiness for the place led to his appointment, in 1838, as Deputy Attorney General for his county (an office equivalent to the present District Attorneyship). In 1860, Mr. McJunkin was elected a delegate to the National Republican Convention which met at Chicago. He was on the electoral ticket in Pennsylvania in 1864, and cast his vote for Lincoln. He represented the Twenty-third District in the Forty-second and Forty-third Congresses, being elected in the years 1870 and 1872. Being elected Judge to the Seventeenth District in 1874, he resigned his seat in the House of Representatives, and, returning home, went upon the bench the first Monday in January, 1875, for a term of ten years.
