General Notes: Husband - George Washington McNees

---

He acquired his education in the common schools of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, Elderton and Livermore academies and the State Normal school at Indiana. In early manhood he took on himself the responsibility of teacher, and taught four terms in Armstrong and two in Indiana county, Pennsylvania, besides one term in Kansas. The outlook in teaching was not wide enough for the exercise of his energies, however, and he embarked in business life by engaging in the pottery business at Girty, Pennsylvania. His line of manufacture was first-class stone-ware. In 1887 he was nominated by the Republican party of Armstrong County for treasurer and at the ensuing election in November was elected by the handsome majority of 1,598 votes. He entered upon his office on January 1, 1888.
