General Notes: Husband - Charles Porter McGeary

---

He attended public schools in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and later studied at Cold Spring Academy and Muskingum College. At Muskingum he studied business administration at a time when courses along these lines were new and, educationally speaking, revolutionary. He became associated afterward with the United States Steel Corporation, in Pittsburgh, serving as a secretary for ten years. Then he turned his attention to business education by taking a position as business manager of the Iron City Business College, in Pittsburgh. Remaining there for five years, Mr. McGeary next moved to Erie in May, 1917, to associate himself with the Erie Business College, of which he eventually became president.
He was a Republican in politics, a vice-president of the Family Service Society of Erie and president of the Erie Inter-Church Federation. He was active in the Church of the Covenant, a Presbyterian congregation, and was at one time a member and clerk of Sessions in the First United Presbyterian Church. He was, for a time, active in the Rotary Club of Erie. He enjoyed the out-of-doors and outdoor recreations, being particularly fond of golf.
