General Notes: Husband - James [2] McKay

He attended school in his native country in the cabins, and like the rest of his schoolmates carried each day to school two turfs or combustible bricks for fuel. He came to this country in 1842 in a sail vessel, and was six weeks on the ocean.

General Notes: Wife - Rebecca Hosack

---

In 1851, she connected herself with the Associate Reformed Church at Springfield. Removing to the vicinity of Mercer in 1873 she united with the First United Presbyterian Church, of which congregation she remained a consistent member until her death, being faithful in her attendance upon the ordinances of God’s house. Although possessed of a weak constitution she missed but one communion during the thirty-two years she was in connection with the church, and that was the one immediately preceding her death. In her last illness she manifested a cheerful, patient and submissive spirit. She set her house in order, and with lamp trimmed and burning awaited the coming of the bridegroom. Peacefully she passed away. “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.”
