General Notes: Husband - Robert Massey McCartney

---

He obtained his primary education in the country schools and then entered the Ingleside Academy, at McDonald, Pennsylvania, and after completing a course there, was employed for a short time by J. C. May. In 1893, with the cooperation of his father, he bought the business of J. C. May, and they continued for three years, when Robert M. purchased his father's share, but subsequently sold the whole business to W. F. Woods. He then served as a commercial messenger between McDonald and Pittsburgh, for six years, in the meanwhile making his business plans which resulted in his purchasing the tobacco store and news depot of Samuel Smith, at McDonald. Later he purchased a cigar factory from Morris Levison, and at first carried on only a retail trade, but subsequently added candy to his commodities and entered into wholesaling. He had a market within a radius of twenty miles of McDonald and also shipped to points in the East, West, North and South. He afforded constant employment to about sixteen people.
He and his wife were members of the First United Presbyterian Church at McDonald. In politics he was a Democrat. He served as a member of the borough council for two terms, and he also served one term on the board of health. He was identified with a number of fraternal organizations, being past grand of the Odd Fellows, secretary of the Royal Arcanum, and a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Maccabees and the Heptasophs, all at McDonald.
