General Notes: Husband - James McCormick

---

He received his education in the Public Schools, Partridge's Military Institute, Harrisburg Academy, and Yale College, where he graduated in 1853.
He then commenced the study of law and was admitted to the bar of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. His very successful practice was brought to a close about 1870, when his father's death left him as one of the trustees of a large estate, a work which so fully occupied his time and attention as to leave no leisure for his profession.

He was educated in the common schools, Capt. Partridge's Military Institute, the Harrisburg Academy, graduating at Yale College in 1853. He studied law under his father, was admitted to the bars of Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, and practiced for several years. Upon the death of his father he became one of the trustees of his estate, a charge that absorbed his time and attention to such a degree that he abandoned his profession. He never held political office, but in the religious and charitable work of the day occupied a conspicuous position. He was an elder in the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, from its foundation in 1858, a successful Sunday-school tutor, president and trustee of the Young Men's Christian Association; in all the active work of his denomination a most efficient and liberal agent; a large contributor to the Home for the Friendless in the city, to all charitable objects, and from its opening president of the Harrisburg hospital, and one of its most active, attentive, and competent advisers.
