General Notes: Husband - Hon. Harry J. McAteer

---

He lived on a farm until he was twenty years of age. His educational advantages were such as common schools afforded, and May 1, 1859, he engaged in the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and filled various responsible positions until 1869, when he was elected to the State Legislature from the district composed of Huntingdon, Mifflin, and Juniata Counties, Pennsylvania, and was re-elected in 1870.
Under the new apportionment Huntingdon County was made a separate representative district, when he was again, in 1873, a candidate against W. R. Burchinell, and was defeated by only ninety-eight votes. After 1873, he was engaged in the coal business in Clearfield County.

He was representative in the Pennsylvania Legislature 1870-71, and Senator from the Huntingdon district, 1885-88; residence, Alexandria, Pennsylvania; appointed, 1894, Assistant Naval Officer for the Port of Philadelphia.
