General Notes: Husband - James Shearer McCartney, M.D.

---

He received his literary training at different academic institutions, and his medical education at Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, graduating in 1856, and commencing the practice of medicine at Tarentum, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in December, 1857. Dr. McCartney practiced continuously at Tarentum after locating there, and was prominently identified with many of the local enterprises of the place. The first bank started there was an individual concern, but it soon developed into a national bank, in which the doctor was president and largely interested, and was one of the three trustees who started the first glassworks there. The doctor invested largely in real estate in Tarentum, and also held considerable interests in Chicago and Cook county, Illinois. His real and personal estate amounted to over one hundred thousand dollars. His principal business was of a financial character\emdash investing in bonds, and loaning money on mortgages and real estate and collateral securities, and caring for his estate.

He received his literary education at Elders Ridge and Indiana academies, studied medicine under Dr. David Alter, of Freeport, Pennsylvania, and was graduated at Jefferson Medical College in 1856. He was associated the first year after his graduation with Dr. James M. Taylor, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and afterwards located at Tarentum, where he continued in practice until his removal to Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1898. In Tarentum, he also invested in real estate, and was the organizer and president of the First National Bank and trustee of the glass works, and was guardian and trustee for different individuals and executor and administrator for several estates.
