General Notes: Husband - Robert W. McCormick

---

He attended the public schools of the neighborhood and was for a time in school at Oswego, New York. He followed farming exclusively as an occupation until 1864, when he came to Lock Haven, and was one of a company that built the bill sawmill near the junction of the R. & E. & Bellefonte R. R., this being the first mill built to saw all kinds of timber in this section of the State. The company conducted this business four or five years when they sold out, and Mr. McCormick bought a mill called the Satterlee mill, which was one of the first built in that locality. After the death of his partner, Mr. Robert G. Cook, Mr. McCormick sold out his interest in the mill and purchased an interest in the mills of N. Shaw & Co. After a time he sold his holdings in this concern, and bought the products of the N. W. Frederick sawmills at Farrandsville, which consisted of some 40,000,000 feet of different kinds of lumber. During all of these years, since 1869, he was more or less engaged in the square-timber business, and handled in that period many million feet of lumber. Mr. McCormick also, all his life, was interested in farming, carrying it on quite extensively. He owned a very fine farm of some 130 acres located at the head of Great Island. He led a very active and busy life, all of which was passed in Lock Haven and its vicinity.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics Mr. McCormick was a lifelong Republican.
