General Notes: Husband - Samuel Howard McCain

---

He was born at Freeport, PA, and obtained his early education there in the public schools. Later he went to Chambersburg Academy, in Franklin County, PA, where he graduated in 1897, continuing his studies at Yale College, when he took the law course. He was grad­uated in 1900 and admitted to the bar at New Haven in the same year, beginning practice shortly thereafter at Grantsville, WV. He remained there a year, as attorney for an oil company, and then returning to Kittanning gained admission to the Armstrong county bar in 1903. Forming a partnership with ex-Judge Calvin Rayburn, the association con­tinued for two years, and after its dissolu­tion he practiced alone. Politic­ally he was a Republican, but he was not active in party affairs and never sought office. Fraternally he affiliated with the Masons, be­longing to Blue Lodge, No. 244, of Kittan­ning, and Orient Chapter, No. 247, R. A. M., also of Kittanning. In religious faith a Pres­byterian, he and his wife held membership in the church of that denomination.
