General Notes: Husband - Thomas Wilson McCune

---

He was educated in the common schools, and when nineteen years old became associated with an uncle, supplying timber to the Youghiogheny Slack-water Navigation company. He continued in the lumber business for six years, and then kept a general store at Buena Vista till the outbreak of the civil war. In July, 1861, he enlisted in Company F, 28th P. V. I., and served in the Army of the Potomac nearly two years, becoming sergeant-major. After leaving the military service he followed contracting, and for one year he was mine-manager for Laughlin & Co. and seven years manager of the Eliza furnaces. In 1872 he went to Scottdale, and managed a furnace there seven years, at the end of which time he removed to Wheeling. After rebuilding the Belmont furnace, he removed to Huntingdon, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and took charge of R. H. Powell's plant at Saxton as general manager, and later was general superintendent for three years of the Glamorgan Iron company, at Lewistown, Mifflin County. He later devoted his attention to real estate. He came to Wilkinsburg in 1885, and built a handsome residence on Edgewood avenue. While at Scottdale, a part of which borough he laid out, he was school director and a member of the borough council, and he was later on the Wilkinsburg council. He was a republican, a member of Wilkinsburg Presbyterian Church, and a K. T.
