General Notes: Husband - George McCool

---

Donation, Oneida Twp, Huntingdon Co, PA

He enjoyed very slight opportunities for obtaining an education; he did his best to make up for his deficiency in this respect, but was obliged to begin self-supporting work early, and therefore had little time for study. He began in Glasgow, Scotland, as a shoemaker, but was compelled to return to his home in Ireland, on account of a strike among the Scotch workmen. He pursued the same calling in Ireland, until he was induced to join his brother in emigrating to America. Here, in 1847, he began in the same occupation, but later, found it more to his interest to work on the Pennsylvania State Canal, and on the Pennsylvania Railroad. He helped to lay the track between Lewistown and Latrobe. He then came to a farm on which he resided, and which he came to own, in addition to a considerable tract of timber land. Mr. McCool made two attempts to enlist during the war of the Rebellion, but was not accepted. The second time he went to Hollidaysburg to enlist, but in vain.
He served his township as supervisor.
