General Notes: Husband - Ernest M. McCreary

---

He was educated in the district schools of Brier Hill in Hickory township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and when his education was completed learned the cigar-maker's trade. In company with Joseph Myers of East Brook he carried on the manufacture of cigars until 1890 under the firm name of Myers & McCreary. In that year he went into partnership with his brother, Samuel P., and together they had the pleasure of seeing their business thrive and grow to meet their fondest expectations. In politics he was strongly attached to the Republican party. He and his wife were members in good standing of the M. E. Church.
The East Brook Cornet Band was organized by him, and he long continued to direct it, and it was in great part due to his persistent efforts that it ranked high with other musical organizations of like character in western Pennsylvania. Mr. McCreary's talent for music came naturally for the whole McCreary family was well-known for its ability in musical lines; his brother and partner in business, Samuel P., was also a member of the cornet band.
