General Notes: Husband - Samuel D. McQuaid


He received his education in the public schools and New Salem academy. At the age of twenty he left school and entered the store of J.

Barnes, opened a general merchandise store which was burned about a year later. Mr. McQuaid then returned to a farm in his native township, and after four years on it engaged in the lumber and sawing business for three years. In 1886 he went to Apollo and started a livery stable, but two years later returned to Salem and embarked in the hotel and livery business. Mr. McQuaid, who has been quite successful and has amassed considerable wealth, has served five years as first corporal, Co. L, Hugus Rifles, 10th reg. N.
