General Notes: Husband - Rev. William P. McNary

---

He was a minister in the United Presbyterian Church, and settled at Tarkio, Missouri; had the degree of D. D. conferred on him, and was president of the board of trustees of Tarkio College; was also a colonel in the army during the Civil war.

He was born in Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where his boyhood was passed. The early education of Dr. McNary was obtained in the local schools. He afterward attended the academy at Wilkinsburg, and later entered Washington and Jefferson College, whence he graduated in 1861. Immediately thereafter, in response to President Lincoln's call for one hundred and twenty-five thousand men, he enlisted in the Tenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Reserves, but by reason of the Pennsylvania quota being already filled the regiment was held several weeks before being mustered into service. After nearly a year's service at the front Dr. McNary was made adjutant of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Regiment, Colonel Clark commanding. This was an Allegheny county regiment and was actively engaged during its entire period of service, participating in the following battles: First Bull Run, second Bull Run, Antietam, Wilderness, Fredericksburg, seven days' battle before Richmond, and a number of other important engagements as well as numerous skirmishes. During the war Dr. McNary served in various ranks, first as sergeant, then as second lieutenant, then as captain, and finally as lieutenant colonel in a regiment enlisted at the time of Morgan's raid to protect Pennsylvania from invasion. Though not expected to do any active service out of the state it ultimately captured Morgan, with his whole force, in Ohio. At the termination of the war Dr. McNary entered the United Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Xenia, Ohio, and later went to the Allegheny Theological Seminary at Allegheny City. Soon after graduating he was ordained, and in 1867 was installed as pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Leavenworth, Kansas, remaining two years and a half. At the end of that time he went to Bloomington, Indiana, as pastor of the United Presbyterian church in that town, and was in charge there for the next thirteen years. In 1884 he founded the United Presbyterian in St. Louis, and after editing the paper for two years sold out and removed to Tarkio, Missouri, where he became pastor of the United Presbyterian church and president of the board of trustees of the United Presbyterian College situated in that city. After thirteen more years of service in the church he retired from the active ministry, and then was extensively engaged in the west in managing ranches under the new government ditch at Torrington, Wyoming, where he also organized a United Presbyterian mission.
