General Notes: Husband - Harry C. McCrea


Prepared for his technical education by the public schools and one year at Penn State, Harry C. McCrea entered Ohio Northern University, from which he was graduated with the class of 1912 and received a degree in Civil Engineering. He engaged in the practice of his profession in the State of Montana prior to the entrance of the United States into the first World War, when he enlisted in the 23d Regiment of Engineers, and went overseas with the American Expeditionary Forces. He participated in several major offensives of our armies in France.
Upon his return to civilian activities, Mr. McCrea again turned his attention to engineering, and was engaged in general construction work in Montana when he was called back to Pennsylvania to serve as county engineer for Indiana County. This work he continued for four years, after which he was connected with the Pennsylvania Department of Highways, resigning to accept the post of borough manager of Blairsville.
Mr. McCrea was prominently associated with many phases of local life; was a member of the Kiwanis Club, of the American Legion post and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was a member of the Professional Association of Engineers (State of Pennsylvania); his college fraternity was Sigma Pi, and he was affiliated with the Free and Accepted Masons.
