General Notes: Husband - James Harvey McCain

---

He received his literary education in the common schools and Freeport academy. Having a taste and inclination for the legal profession, he read law for one year in the office of J. G. D. Finly, of Freeport, then (1872) attended the law department of the University of Pennsylvania for one year and completed his studies with Hon. E. S. Golden, of Kittanning. He was admitted to the Armstrong County bar in September, 1873, and began active practice. In 1880 he formed a partnership with John Gilpin, one of the leading lawyers of Kittanning. Mr. Gilpin died in November, 1883, and during the following year he formed another partnership with M. F. Leason, Esq. This firm had a large practice and was widely known for its ability and prominence at the Kittanning bar.
He was a republican, but never asked for an office, although he served at least two terms as burgess of Kittanning. He was a member of Kittanning Lodge, No. 244, F. and A. Masons, and the Second Presbyterian church of Kittanning, in which he was an elder.
