General Notes: Husband - James McGarvey, Sr.

---

He came to America when aged twenty-one years. For a few years he lived in the city of Phila­delphia and then crossed the state to Pittsburgh, where he opened a small store. In a short time, however, he left the city and purchased a farm in Washington Township, Armstrong County, on which he passed the rest of his life.
