General Notes: Husband - Lodowick "Loudy" McCarrell


He received a liberal education at the schools of the locality, working also at times on the farm. Having decided to make the legal profession his life vocation, he entered Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1867 in the classical course, and then commenced the study of law in the office of Montgomery & Gibson, Washington borough. In 1869 he was admitted to the bar of the county, commenced practice in the following year. In his political preferences he was an active member of the Democratic party, and in religious sentiment he was of the United Presbyterian faith.

He spent his boyhood on his father's farm, attended the country schools, and later entered Washington and Jefferson College, where he completed the classical course. His father's prominence in public affairs served as a stimulus to his own ambition, and early in his school career, he decided to take up the study of law. Accordingly on leaving college in 1867, he entered the law office of Montgomery & Wilson, and in 1869 he was admitted to the bar of Washington County, in the following year opening his law office in the borough of Washington. He was soon recognized in the profession as a man of marked ability and his subsequent success was uninterrupted, his name being associated for years with much of the important litigation in the courts of the county. He was possessed of an engaging personality, which contributed much to his popularity both in his profession and in business and social circles. Although an active supporter of the Democratic party he took greater interest in the successful practice of law than in the strife for political honors. In the midst of his usefulness, he was called away and was laid to rest in the Washington Cemetery. [TCHWWC, 567]
