General Notes: Husband - William Brainard McCarthy


He was junior member of the firm of C. R. & W. B. McCarthy, a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College, shortly after graduating he engaged in teaching, and was successful as an educator, but finding the close confinement wearing upon his health, he turned aside from teaching in 1888 and entered business, forming a partnership with his brother, C. Rufus McCarthy.

He assisted on his father's farm and attended the public schools until he was about eighteen years of age, when he began teaching. Later, he prepared for college at the Kishacoquillas Academy, and graduated from Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1880; from this institution he afterwards received the degree of Master of Arts. After graduating he engaged in teaching, acting in the capacity of principal in several schools, and teaching the higher branches, chiefly German, Latin and Greek. He was principal of the schools at Indiana, Pennsylvania; of the Wood street school, Youngstown, Ohio; and of Poland Union Seminary, of which President McKinley was a graduate.
He served multiple terms as member of the Huntingdon school board and was active also in church work, serving as superintendent of the Sabbath-school. He was a member of the session and of the board of trustees of the Huntingdon Presbyterian church. Mr. McCarthy was very successful as a teacher; but his health suffered from the lack of physical exercise incident to that employment, and he formed a partnership with his brother, C. Rufus McCarthy.
