General Notes: Husband - Rev. William Jackson McMichael


He was born at Bellbrook, Ohio, and acquired his early education in his native place. Subsequently he attended the public schools of Monmouth, Ohio [Illinois?], and then entered Monmouth College, graduating in 1888 with the degree of Master of Arts. After teaching one year in Washington Academy, Salem, New York, he entered upon a course of theological study, and in 1892 received from Xenia Seminary (Xenia, Ohio) the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. In 1913 Westminster College conferred upon him that of Doctor of Divinity. On completing his course of study, Dr. McMichael entered at once upon his life work. His first pastorate was at Uniontown, Belmont County, Ohio, where he remained two years. Next he took charge of a church at South Argyle, Washington County, New York, this pastorate lasting eight years, and then, for about two years, he served in mission work in Philadelphia. Thence he was recalled to his home congregation, near Dayton, Ohio, and there he ministered for the ensuing five years. In 1907 Dr. McMichael came to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, to take charge of the United Presbyterian Church there.
The principles of the Republican party are those to which Dr. McMichael gave his political support, and in the affairs of the temperance cause he took an active and helpful interest. He was president of the County Ministerial Association, Westmoreland County Temperance Federation, and secretary of the board of trustees of the Atkinson Young Men's Christian Association House of Greensburg.
