General Notes: Husband - Junius D. McCabe


He was first a student in the public schools, later attending James Dickson's Academy, in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and Forest Grove Academy, entering, at the completion of his preparatory course, the University of Western Pennsylvania (University of Pittsburgh). He was graduated from this institution Ph.B. in the class of 1883, later taking a course in civil engineering and being awarded his C.E. by the same university. His first employment at his profession was with the Chartiers Valley Gas Company, and when this concern was merged into the Philadelphia Gas Company, Mr. McCabe and John McBride, the chief engineer of the gas company, formed the firm of McBride & McCabe, their offices being in the Renshaw Building in Pittsburgh. After a five years' association Mr. McCabe bought out his partner's interest in the business and continued independently, having his office at No. 341 Fourth avenue since 1900. His first operations were along the lines of general civil engineering, and he later specialized in laying out and platting towns, among the largest in the Pittsburgh district that he surveyed and laid out for builders being Jeannette, Charleroi, Ellwood City, Monessen, and Coraopolis, while he assisted in the same work at Donora, Pennsylvania. He was borough engineer of Coraopolis from its founding until 1901, and for several years he performed all of the engineering work for the Vesta Coal Company.
His political faith is placed in no party, but in the courage and uprightness of individuals, and he and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Coraopolis, of which he was a ruling elder. Beginning in 1892 his home was at No. 1310 State avenue, where he erected a comfortable and attractive house in that year.
