General Notes: Husband - William McCune

---

He was born in Harlansburg, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. [BBLCP, 527]

At his father's death he was less than ten years of age. His uncle, Michael Jordan, took him to rear, and gave him all the educational advantages possible. He attended district school until he was sixteen, and then spent some time in Prof. Robinson's private school. After this he took a year each in the Sunbury Academy and the Edinboro Normal School. Completing his education, as young man farmed on shares with his uncle for four or five years, and then took Horace Greeley's famous advice, and went West. His first location was at Lincoln, Nebraska, where he spent a short time, then sold all his interests and removed to Kansas City, where he remained six months. Nowhere in the West did he find fields so fertile or climate so genial as in his own native township, so back he came to Lawrence County, where he married and settled down on rented property, which consisted of two good farms. His uncle, Michael, in the spring of 1887, deeded him a farm of ninety-two acres, which he greatly improved, adding large barns and commodious buildings. There he was actively engaged in general farming, but made a specialty of a fine dairy, keeping as high as twenty to twenty-five head of mulch cows.
