General Notes: Husband - Samuel McKean


He was born in Scotland, where he was educated for the ministry. In 1853 he came to the United States and settled in Rutland, Vermont, where he remained one year, and after a sojourn of some six months in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, took up his abode in Washington County, same state. While there he abandoned his intention of entering the ministry and engaged in gardening and horticulture, in which he was very successful. In 1877 he moved to Rostraver township, where he continued in the same line of business, his establishment being widely known as Fern Cliff Gardens. He was a Republican in politics, and while never an office seeker he served several years as a member of the school board. He belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Knights of Pythias, and was a member of the Presbyterian church.
