General Notes: Husband - Thomas S. McCreight


He was a young child when he accompanied his parents to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and spent practically all his life on their homestead in Winslow township, of which he eventually became owner. It comprised 150 acres in his day, and was in a profitable state of cultivation under his management. During his boyhood he had such advantages for education as the district schools afforded, attending them during the winter season, his services being required on the farm in the summer time. For twenty-five years he followed lumbering as well as farming, but from the early eighteen-nineties devoted all his time to agriculture, in which he was notably successful, so much so that he was considered an authority on such matters in his home county. Keen and farsighted, he had many intelligent ideas on questions of extreme importance to farmers, and their high opinion of his ability was attested in his election as president of the Jefferson County Agricultural Society and of the Jefferson County Live Stock Insurance Company. In both capacities he accomplished good work for the benefit of the farmers of his locality.
In 1862, he enlisted in Company B, 135th P. V. I., for nine months' service, faithfully performed. He always adhered to the doctrines of the Republican party.
