General Notes: Husband - James L. McKean

He was reared on his father's farm and attended the rural schools of his boyhood days. In 1838 he went on the Allegheny river where he followed keel-boating for upwards of ten years and then was engaged from 1856 to 1875 for ten years longer as a steamboat pilot. Leaving the river in 1875 he removed to a farm in 1876 where he was then engaged in farming and stock-raising. He owned one hundred and sixteen acres of good farming and grazing land on which he made many improvements. He was a member of the Catholic church at Freeport, Armstrong County, has a life-long democrat and served his township as school director.
