General Notes: Husband - William O. "Willie" McNary

---

He received his primary education in the public schools of his native town, later attending the St. Louis (Missouri) High School, and in 1889 graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Science from the Tarkio (Missouri) College. After spending two years on the plains in Colorado he engaged in the furniture business at Greeley, in that state, and at Tarkio, Missouri, in all about two years. In 1893 he entered the law school of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, graduating in June, 1895, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He then came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and immediately entered upon the practice of his profession, in which he has since been actively engaged.
At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he organized a company, enlisted, and on August 9, 1898, was elected captain. This company was transferred to the Seventeenth Regiment as Company L until the reorganization of the National Guard after the war, when it became Company I, of the One Hundred and Forty-first Regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard. This company Mr. McNary commanded until November, 1901, when he resigned. A few months later he was appointed aide-de-camp, with the rank of captain, on the staff of General John A. Wylie, commanding the Second Brigade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, and served in this capacity until early in 1906, when he was promoted to the post of judge-advocate on the staff of the Second Brigade, with the rank of major.
He was a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
