General Notes: Husband - James McGeorge


He grew to maturity on his father's farm, attending a small brick school in the woods known as the McGeorge school, finishing his studies at the Greersburg Academy. The only boy in a family of six, there were many duties for him to perform on the home farm, and he remained at home until his father's death, when he inherited the homestead, where he then resided. The house in which he lived, a fine, substantial country residence, was built by his father in 1846, the large barns on the property antedating the house by two years. These last were occupied by a herd of short-horn cattle of excellent stock, from which he obtained a large quantity of milk daily, and for thirty years engaged in the wholesale milk business, supplying the local dealers with much of their product. Mr. McGeorge was a communicant of the family faith, belonging to the Reformed Presbyterian Church. Four times he was honored by election to the office of elder in the organization, but each time has refused the election, his modest and unassuming nature making his loath to place himself in the public eye.
