General Notes: Husband - Samuel Clark McCreary


The district schools of Neshannock township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, furnished him with a rudimentary education. He worked on the farm until August, 1861, when he enlisted for service in the defense of the Union in Co. F, 100th Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf., and served until Dec. 4, 1862, being discharged at that time for disabilities received in the service, losing a limb at Chantilly, Virginia. On his return, he managed the farm for a time, and then took a course in the Iron City Business College of Pittsburgh, and in 1872 was elected prothonotary of Lawrence County (commonly known as clerk of court); in this capacity he served six years, retiring Jan. 1, 1879, returning then to his farm. He owned and cultivated ninety-six acres of valuable, well-improved land, devoted to general farming and stock-raising. He was a stanch Republican, politically. Socially, he was a member of the G. A. R. Post, No. 100, of New Castle. He was an elder of the first U. P. Church of New Castle.
