General Notes: Husband - James F. McQuaid


His education was obtained in the common schools, and in business life he became a merchant, being located in different Pennsylvania towns, among them Irwin and Beaver Falls. He afterward became a commercial traveler for a concern manufacturing hats and caps and died in this service, in the establishment of a man to whom he sold goods. He enlisted, as did his two brothers, in the Union army during the Civil War, but the company in which he was enrolled never reached the front, being discharged after they had advanced as far as Washington. He was a life-long member of the Presbyterian Church, holding a place upon the session of that organization. His fraternal connections were with the Masonic Order and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
