General Notes: Husband - George J. McCandless

---

He engaged in farming, and after his marriage bought about one hundred and fifteen acres of land in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on which he lived many years. He then purchased an old grist mill in Conoquenessing township, and operated this about ten years. In 1888 he removed to Beaver Falls, where he lived a retired life until his death.
During the Civil War he was a soldier in the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, served for a period of seven months, during which time he was an active participant in several skirmishes, and was then honorably discharged by reason of ill health. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for a number of years.

He fought in the Civil War with the cavalry, and was wounded in action, but survived his wounds.
