General Notes: Husband - George Washington Mackall
He attended the public schools, and at fourteen years of age became a clerk in a store at Hookstown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, for John Sterling. He later accepted a like position with Joseph Hall, and then with M. L. Christler. Like many other boys of his day, he was fond of river life, and accepted a position as cabin boy on one of the boats that plied up and down the Ohio River; after several years of this life, he became a second-mate, but becoming tired of that life, he engaged in boating coal down the river, for a period of six years. He then became a contractor for oil drilling in Ohio township and vicinity, after which he conducted a store at Glasgow, Pennsylvania, and also served as justice of the peace of that village for five years. In 1887, he went to New Brighton, and became connected with the publication of the Tribune. In August, 1892, he was elected to the office of prothonotary of Beaver county, which made it necessary for him to come to Beaver, where he then resided. After the closing of his term, he lived in retirement. He was a stockholder in the Beaver Signal Manufacturing Company; he resided in a fine house, situated at the end of Fourth street.
