General Notes: Husband - Joseph Henderson Maclay

---

He received a good education and in 1879 and 1881 represented Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, in the legislature. The most important measure before that body during his term was the Pittsburgh Riot Bill, which he opposed. He was a witness in the bribery suits which followed. In 1881, in the long contest for the United States senatorship, he was one of the fifty-six Republicans who refused to support General Oliver.
