General Notes: Husband - William J. McBride

---

He attended the public schools of the district until thirteen years of age, then, his parents moving to Braddock, his studies were continued in the schools of that city until he was eighteen years of age. During these years from boyhood his summers had been spent in working, in the lumber yards and planing mill operated by McBride Brothers, consequently on leaving school he went into the business experi­enced and practical. He was associated with his father and uncle in busi­ness in a subordinate capacity until January 1, 1913, when with his cousins, Harry E. and Clarence J. McBride, they purchased the business of McBride Brothers, retail lumber dealers and planing mill manufacturers, the busi­ness being changed to McBride Lumber Company. William J. McBride was a Democrat in politics, and served the borough of Rankin as collector of taxes. He was a member of St. Brenden's Roman Catholic Church, belonged to the Knights of Columbus, and was inter­ested in church and society work.
