General Notes: Husband - John McGaughey

---

He lived in the vicinity of his birth until 1843 when he went to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, to learn the tanning trade with his uncle, John McPherson. He lived in Clearfield thereafter, except one year he was at Luthersburg, working at his trade. He was in the lumbering business, and for several years had a grocery and general supply store. His business was for many years such as to employ four or five clerks continually. He was one of the substantial business men of Clearfield and a prominent man of Clearfield county. In December, 1878, while assisting in unloading ice into his ice-house, he had the misfortune to fall and strike his side on the sled, from which he seemed to have received permanent injuries, causing him to lose the power of speech at times.
After the death of his first wife, his sister, Mary Jane, lived with him until his second marriage.
