General Notes: Husband - Charles R. McCarthy

---

Philadelphia, PA

For more than thirty-five years he was a contributor to the public press, under various noms de plume; possibly the most familiar being "Graybeard." Some of his writings were printed in book form and in pamphlets. One of these, which gained a pretty wide circulation, was entitled "Lost Children of the Alleghenies." He wrote on a great variety of subjects, but seemed most at home when defending the cause of temperance, or discussing some question of ethics. He served one term as associate judge in Huntingdon County, and not only succeeded in closing all licensed liquor houses in the county, but prevented the granting of such licenses during his term of five years, though opposed by the president judge, whose opinion against Judge McCarthy was reversed in the Supreme Court.
