General Notes: Husband - John McNary

---

He attended school in North Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, until old enough to become useful on the home farm and he remained there until he came to Canonsburg and started a teaming business and opened up a feed store. In 1897 a fire destroyed his store after which he devoted his attention to heavy teaming and contracting and did a large amount of the street paving for Canonsburg, including also railroad construction. In 1906 he built the first section of the interurban line from Canonsburg to Pittsburgh and paved from Pike street to the tin mill in East Canonsburg. In the part of the contract which he had under his charge, on the street railway, he moved about 50,000 yards of dirt. He accumulated considerable valuable real estate in Canonsburg. When he was only fourteen years of age he peddled milk through the borough, while living on the farm, in the meanwhile making plans which he later carried out, his foresight directing him into the lines for which he knew himself well qualified. He served as a member of the council of South Canonsburg for two terms, his practical business ideas being recognized as valuable in that body.
