General Notes: Husband - Thomas H. McCamey


He was reared on the old homestead, educated in the common schools and remained on the home farm un­til 1885, when he accepted a position as clerk in the general store of J. F. Cochran & Co., at Eau Claire, PA, where he remained three years. When the firm removed to Parkers Land­ing, in 1888, he accompanied them and continued as a clerk until 1892, when, in part­nership with Thomas A. Kerr and Oren Patton, he purchased the business. For a short time it was conducted under the style of T. A. Kerr & Co., and later as Kerr & McCamey, which continued until 1910, when Mr. Mc­Camey sold his interest to Mr. Kerr. On Feb. 8, 1910, he re-embarked in the mercan­tile business, with his sons, J. Bruce and Kenneth E., as partners, under the firm name of T. H. McCamey & Sons.
He and his family were mem­bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church. For several years he served on the school board of Parker. Politically he favored the Prohibition party.
