General Notes: Husband - George B. McClellan Felgar


He was educated in the public schools. When about eighteen years old he went to work on a farm in his native county, where he remained two years. He then spent six months in Missouri, whence he proceeded to Montana, where for two years he worked in the quartz mill at Marysville. At the end of that time he set out on his homeward journey, which he made in a leisurely manner, availing himself of every opportunity of seeing the country. After reaching home he worked for two years for his father, and several months after his marriage moved to South Huntingdon township, where for a short time he engaged in farming on shares. He then went to Mount Pleasant and for one year was a teamster, first in town and later at the coke works. He was then for a time in business as a butcher, but sold out and returned to East Huntingdon township, settling on the farm where his brother Andrew Jackson later lived. For one season he farmed the estate on shares and then purchased his own farm on which he then resided. The purchase was made in October, 1894, and the property consisted of one hundred and ten acres and was completely remodeled by Mr. Felgar. He carried on general farming, making a specialty of the dairy and keeping fifteen cows, also having a milk route in Scottdale. He was one of the stockholders in a company organized for the purpose of breeding horses. His political principles were those of the Democratic party. He and his wife were members of the Reformed church.
