General Notes: Husband - Adam McQuillen


He was born, reared and educated in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, and until the time of his marriage worked as a charcoal burner in Blair County. He was then for a time foreman on the Pennsylvania Railroad, subsequently engaging in the hauling of coal. When he enlisted in the army, during the Civil War, he sold his five horses. His military service, which covered a period of three years, ended with the close of the war, after which he returned to Tyrone and for three or four years worked as foreman on the Tyrone-Clearfield branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Afterward he held for twenty-five years the position of stationary engineer for the Woodland Fire-Brick Company at Woodland, Clearfield County.
He was a faithful Republican, and for the seventeen years preceding his death held the office of postmaster of Woodland.
He belonged to Clearfield Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. He was a member and liberal supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church of Clearfield, in which he was an active worker.
