Andrew Ivory, father of Andrew E. Ivory, was born at Brownsville, Pa., and followed agricultural pursuits until his enlistment, in 1861, in Company G, IIth Pennsylvania Re- serve Corps. Entering the service as a private, he was promoted to the rank of second lieu- tenant, and later became acting captain in com- mand from the battle of South Mountain to and including the battle of Fredericksburg. At the latter engagement the bones of his knee were badly shattered, the accident maim- ing him for life. Because of this serious wound he was honorably discharged, and re- turned home to resume farming, in which he continued until 1884 .: His death occurred May 9, 1908. He married Mrs. Catherine (Schroeder) Rigby, a native of Butler county, Pa., who by her first marriage had one daugh- ter, Amelia S., who married a Mr. J. W. Mc- Laughlin. Mrs. Ivory died in January, 1903. By her marriage to Mr. Ivory she had the following children: Alfred L .; Mary A., wife of J. F. Keener, of Kittanning; Andrew E .; Francis J., of Pittsburgh; Robert B., an attorney of Pittsburgh; and Ella J., wife of Alfred Gray, of Columbus, Ohio. Both par- ents were members of the Presbyterian Church, of which the father had been an elder for several years. He was also a mem- ber of the G. A. R. post in his vicinity.
The name Ivory is of Norman French origin, and one ancient and honorable. Under Andrew E. Ivory was but two years old when the family moved to Armstrong county, Pa., his father purchasing a farm near Leech- burg. Later they moved to another farm, in South Buffalo township, and Mr. Ivory ob- tained his early education at the Slate Lick Academy. He afterward attended the Wither- spoon Institute at Butler, Pa., and then took a commercial course at the Iron City Business College, Pittsburgh, Pa. His first business experience was gained in a merchant tailor- ing and clothing store at East Brady, Clarion Co., Pa., which he entered April 1, 1873, and where he was employed for four years. In 1877 he went to Millerstown (Chicora post office), Butler Co., Pa., where he was in the same business for another four years, in 1880 returning to East Brady, to spend six years more in the establishment where he first started.

ABISHAI McCAUSLAND, deceased, was born in Cowanshannock township, Armstrong county, Dec. 25, 1829, son of David and Mar- garet (Guthrie) McCausland. He was well known in that and Wayne townships, and his death on Nov. 20, 1905, was deeply regretted by all who knew him. He was of Scotch- Irish descent.
David McCausland, the father was for many years a farmer in Cowanshannock town- ship, where he died. He and his wife Mar- garet Guthrie had children as follows: James, William, David, Jane, Margaret, Rebecca, Jacob, Samuel and Abishai.
Abishai McCausland was reared on his father's farm and followed agricultural pur- suits all his life, spending the greater part of his time on the fine property he owned in his native township. His death occurred at Dayton, Pa., of a sudden attack of heart dis- ease, while he was engaged in talk in one of the mercantile establishments. He was buried in the Glade Run cemetery. A faithful mem- ber of the United Presbyterian Church, he took an active part in its work, and in poli- tics was identified with the Republican party.

Mr. Russell served as a soldier in the war of 1812. He married Susanna, daughter of Andrew and Catherine Weamer, and they had two chil- dren, James and Mary A. The former was a soldier serving in the Civil war at the time of his death. The latter is the widow of Abishai McCausland.
IRWIN T. CAMPBELL, prothonotary and clerk of the courts of Armstrong county, was born Nov. 17, 1862, in Rayburn township, this county, son of Joseph I. and Isabella (Irwin) Campbell.
The Campbells are of Irish stock, Joseph Campbell, grandfather of Irwin T., having been born in Ireland, in 1808. Being quite young when his father died, he was adopted by an uncle, who cared for him until he reached manhood, and then, after paying a visit to his mother, whom he had not seen since he was first separated from her, he came to America. He first took up his residence in Pittsburgh, securing a position in a mercantile house. Af- terward he worked on the Pennsylvania canal, earning and saving the money, $202.06, with which he purchased in 1834 100 acres of land in Valley (now Reyburn) township, Arm- strong county, upon which not a tree had been cut. The location is about a mile east of the mouth of Cowanshannock creek. Mr. Camp- bell converted this into a fine farm, upon which he lived after settling there until his death, which occurred in October, 1858. In 1837 he married Margaret Irvin, and about 1838 they moved onto the farm, where he had already made a clearing and built a log cabin. Although surrounded by adverse circum- stances, they arose superior to them through patient toil. Slowly the land was cleared, and the lowly home improved by the addition of hard-earned conveniences. Both were hard- working, thrifty, honest people, and gained the respect of all who knew them. Mr. Camp- bell was a member of the Methodist Church, and was for years a class leader ; his wife was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Campbell's death occurred March 29, 1846,
653
HISTORY OF ARMSTRONG COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
and from that time the father endeavored by increased care for his children to com- pensate in some degree, however, small, for the loss of a mother's influence. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell had two sons: Joseph I., born Jan. 6, 1841, and John, born in 1844. When the call for soldiers for the Civil war was made both boys volunteered for the Union service, but Joseph I. was not accepted. John was, and the Pennsylvania quota being filled was assigned to the 8th New York Volunteer Infantry, which was attached to the corps commanded by General Dan Sickles. John Campbell died in Allegheny, Pa., in March, 1912. He was married, and his wife and chil- dren are also deceased.
