General Notes: Husband - G. W. McCully


He was born at Arch Spring, Pennsylvania, and accompanied his parents to Tyrone, and, later, to Clearfield County, where he resided from the age of fourteen. Much of his time during boyhood was spent in clearing the home farm. There were no schools in that section, and, except for his mother's instruction, he had no educational opportunities whatever. After his marriage he purchased from his father 107 acres of woodland adjoining the homestead, and built a log cabin in which to begin housekeeping. The cabin was not of first-class construction, and much hard labor lay before the young couple before the place would be a comfortable home. In 1867 Mr. McCully built a large two-story house with all modern improvements, including an excellent system of heating. For some years he spent his summers in clearing and cultivating his own lands, and engaged in lumbering in the winter seasons; but later he retired from the lumber business, his farm, with other interests, requiring all the time that he cared to devote to business.
