General Notes: Husband - Philip McGee


He was born at Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and in 1826 was brought by his parents to Clearfield County, where he early became familiar with lumbering, farming and merchandising under the direction of his father. On going to a home of his own, he located at the mills, and after his father's death he and two brothers, John and Thomas, assumed the management of the business inaugurated by their father, conducting the grist and sawmills and also the general store. Some years later John sold out to his brothers and moved to Kansas, and later Philip sold his interest to Thomas, who continued the business up to the time of his death. In 1870, after disposing of his interest in the business, Philip purchased a farm on which he spent his remaining days, engaged in lumbering and agricultural pursuits.
