General Notes: Husband - Robert Cathcart

---

He received his primary education in the common schools, and was a student at college. After completing his course, he entered a store at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he learned the details of mercantile business, after which, in connection with his brother William, he opened a general store. This business was continued for some years, but was eventually sold. Mr. Cathcart, after being for several years conductor on a passenger train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, settled on a farm in Greenwood township, Perry County, and cultivated it for two or three years; he then opened a general store on the site later occupied by his son. He continued to manage the store in Millerstown until the close of his business career in 1871. After retiring from the burdens and cares of active life, he passed the remainder of his days in Millerstown and Carlisle, where he died amid the scenes of his early childhood. He was a Republican.

Mr. Cathcart was a man of great personal worth, and was highly esteemed. He married Josephine Cochran; their children are: Laura, resides with her mother in Chicago, Ill.; Thomas P.; Alexander, married Mary Elliott, resides in Chicago, Ill.; and Mary, at home. Mrs. Cathcart survived her husband, became the wife of Thomas Cluck and now resides in Chicago, Ill.
