After leaving home, Mr. McNary attended this institute conducted by his old preceptor and then took a three-year scientific course at Jefferson College. Later he attended two terms at the State Normal School at Millersville, coming under the direct instruction of Prof. J. P. Wickersham, who not only organized that school, but who became the first state superintendent by executive appointment. Subsequently, Mr. McNary graduated from Duff's Commercial College at Pittsburgh, and for several years was engaged successfully as a school teacher and during 1858-59 was postmaster at Munntown.
