John, fourth child and older son of Jeams McCaleb, and father of John Dickey McCaleb, was born and reared in Westmoreland county. His boyhood was spent on the home farm, and in early life he commenced teaching school. which occupation he followed all his life, devoting some fifty years to it. He first taught in the subscription schools, and later in the public schools. He was a member and regular attendant of the Presbyterian church, and married Sally Hosack, a zealous and active church worker. The following named children were born to Mr. and Mrs. McCaleb: I. Jane, deceased, who was the wife of 'John Russell, also deceased: 2. Margaret, deceased : 3. Mary Ann, deceased ; 4. Sarah, deceased : 5. James Russell, died at Vicksburg during the Civil war, having enlisted in Ohio: 6. Hannah E .. married John Hetherington, of West- moreland county, both deceased ; 7. John D., mentioned hereafter : 8. Helen S., unmarried.
John Dickey McCaleb, at the age of ten years, left home and went to live with Major Kain, near Hannastown, where he remained for three years, then removing to Mount Pleasant, where he found employment in the firm of Cun- ningham & Anderson. After remaining there for a short time he associated

himself with Peter Blystone, conducting his store for six months. At the ex- piration of this time he returned to Mount Pleasant and accepted a position in the store of Sherwick & Braden, remaining there for some seven or eight years, when he severed his connection with this firm and established himself in the wholesale dry goods business in Philadelphia. After six months he returned to Mount Pleasant and opened a general store which he conducted for some time with considerable success. He subsequently formed a partnership with one of his former employers, John Sherwick. This arrangement existed for several years, and Mr. McCaleb then sold out his interest in the business, and became interested in the oil business at Pithole. During these years of earnest work Mr. McCaleb had accumulated a fair competency, all of which he lost soon after entering the oil business. However, being undaunted by his misfortune and a man of moral and physical courage, he immediately set himself to work to re-establish the fortune he had lost. He engaged in the foundry business at Mount Pleasant, where he erected a fine plant, besides buying out three other concerns in the borough. Owing to his inexperience in this line, Mr. McCaleb again met with financial losses, and after four or five years relinquished this business. He then opened a small store in Mount Pleasant, and met with con- siderable suecess. In 1885 he was appointed postmaster of the borough, serving two terms. After his retirement from the postoffice he received the appointment of notary public, which office he still holds.
In politics he accords with the doctrines of the Republican party, and loses no opportunity of advancing the interests of that organization. He is a man of standing in the community, and the esteem in which he is held by his fellow- townsmen is demonstrated by the fact that he was elected a member of the board couneil, member of the school board, and other minor offices, the duties of which he acquitted with credit and efficiency. In connetion with his duties as notary public, Mr. McCaleb acts as representative of several of the steamship companies. He has contributed his share toward the building up of the town, having erected two fine brick residences besides a number of smaller houses. Mr. MeCaleb was the first man to promote the organization of the First National Bank of Mount Pleasant ( 1863), which was the first organized National Bank in Westmoreland county.
In 1851 Mr. McCaleb was united in marriage to Sarah B. Sherwick, daughter of Joseph Sherwick. She was born in Westmoreland county, in 1827. The following named children were born to Mr. and Mrs. McCaleb : 1. Ella, sec- retary of Vassar College, at which institution she was educated and where she received the degree of A. B. 2. J. Sherrick McCaleb, who was educated in Mount Pleasant. He was engaged for eleven years as cashier of the Connells- ville (Pennsylvania) National Bank, and had the remarkable record of making but one error during that time. He now resides at Edgewood, where he is state auditor and accountant. He married Katherine Johnson, and after her death married Katherine Roberts. 3. William Baird, superintendent of the eastern division of the Pennsylvania railroad office at Harrisburg. He married Mary Reed, of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and they have two children. 4. George H., deceased in 1855. 5. Effie, at home.
CURTIS HUSSEY GREGG, an attorney of Greensburg, Pennsyl- vania, of the firm of Gregg & Potts, whose ancestry and personal eareer has. made him a man of more than ordinary prominence, was born at Adamsburg, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, August 9, 1865. The founder of this family of Greggs in the United States was James Gregg, one of four brothers
129

who came to this country from the north of Ireland and settled in the Cumber- land valley, Pennsylvania. One of the brothers settled in New York; one in Ohio and the other in central Pennsylvania. From the latter sprang the Gregg family from which descended ex-Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin.
The grandfather of Curtis Hussey Gregg was James Gregg, who was a native of the United States. He married into the Marshall family, his wife be- ing a native of Cumberland valley.
The father was James Gregg, born in Carlisle, Cumberland county, Penn- sylvania, June 24, 1821. He was engaged in the mercantile business in Adams- burg, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, until 1876, when he became treas- urer of the county. His schooling was confined to a term in Duff's Business College at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. In religion he espoused the Lutheran faith. He was "an old-fashioned, Simon-pure Democrat." He served as treasurer of Westmoreland county from 1876 to 1879, and as justice of the peace in Greens- burg borough from 1881 to 1886; also school director in Greensburg. He died January 5. 1889. His wife was Eliza Cort Gregg, born January 5, 1826, still living. She is the daughter of George Byerly, who was a grandson of Andrew Byerly, of Bushy Run battle fame, in the early-day Indian wars in Westmore- land county, an account of which is given in the general chapter of this work.
Curtis H. Gregg, son of James and Eliza Cort Gregg, received his educa- tion in the common schools and the Greensburg Seminary, where he pursued a two years' course. He began his business career in an humble manner, serving in the role of a newsboy in Greensburg, but through his aim to accomplish more in life he was soon holding the position of news editor for the Greensburg Press, and continued from 1883 to 1887. Later he taught school one term, and then applied himself to the study of law, being admitted to the bar August 4. 1888. He studied with Hon. Lucian W. Doty (later president judge of Westmoreland county), and A. M. Sloan, Esq. He almost instantly forged into the front ranks of a bar numbering a hundred members, which body stands among the most talented in the commonwealth. His knowledge and keen fore -. sight into the interpretation of legal problems, together with his forceful argu- ments, compelled an early recognition and made him a successful practitioner. Death causing a vacancy in the office of the district attorney in July, 1891, he was appointed to that office and nominated by the Democratic party the same year for that office, but the fates of political power were against him. He has always been an ardent party worker, and being possessed of rare gifts as a pub- lic speaker has been frequently drafted into hotly contested political campaigns. For four years he served acceptably on the Greensburg school board, and has been a member of the town council, of which he was president one year. He was among the progenitors of the Greensburg, Jeannette & Pittsburg Electric Railway, and has been initiated in all that has tended to give new life and growth to his home town. In 1896 he was chairman of the Democratic county committee, and a hearty supporter of Colonel W. J. Bryan. It was in 1900 that he was the unsuccessful candidate for congress from the Twenty-fourth district in Pennsylvania, and was the nominee of his party for state senator in the Thirty-ninth district in 1904. During the time the Spanish-American war soldiers were enlisting and going to the seat of war from Westmoreland county, Mr. Gregg was calied upon to deliver more than thirty flag-raising speeches in various parts of the county. They burned with true patriotism. He is a men- ber of various civic societies, including the I. O. II., B. E., K. of M., and G. F. Mr. Gregg is a member of Zion Lutheran church of Greensburg, and has been the chorister there for more than twenty years. Mr. Gregg married, June 21, 2-9

131
HISTORY OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY.
He was the great-grandfather of James S. Beacom. Among his children were John, Jeremiah, Johnston and James, the last named being the subject's grand- father, who died early in life, leaving two sons, Henry Conley and James.
Henry Conley Beacom, father of James S. Beacom, was born in May, 1830, and died November 18, 1904. leaving a widow, Mary A., and five children : James S. Beacom ; Angeline, married Thomas F. Hamilton, superintendent of the Gautier Steel works, of Johnston, Pa. : Henry Conley Beacom, a farmer in Iowa; John Wesley Beacom, of Long Branch, Cal. ; and Eva, wife of Edgar Hays, cashier of the Union Savings Bank, of Pittsburg, Pa. The father of this family became a member of the Pittsburg conference of the Methodist Episco- pal church in 1865, and was a minister until his death. Prior to his ministry he taught school. His wife, Mary A. ( Spear) Beacom, is living in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
James S. Beacom obtained in the public schools his primary education, later attending Elderton Academy, and Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in the class of 1880. He was admitted to the bar in Westmoreland county, in 1884, and has since that date practiced most of the time. Politically Mr. Beacom is a staunch Republican, and has been a faithful party worker, engaging in several hotly contested campaigns. He was a loyal supporter of Hon. Matthew S. Quay, United States senator. He was a mem- ber of the house of representatives of the legislature of Pennsylvania in the sessions of 1887 and 1901. From May, 1898 to May, 1900, he was state treas- urer. in which position he effected some radical changes in the management of that important office, leaving its finances in better shape than for many prev- ious years. In the famous Silver campaign of 1896, in which William McKin- ley was nominated for president at the Republican national convention at St. Louis, he was one of the delegates at large. In his religious connection he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and for many years has been a member of the board of trustees. Mr. Beacom was married, July 17, 1888, to Mary H. Zimmers, of Blairsville, Pennsylvania, who was a graduate of the Blairsville Female Seminary. She is the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Zim- mers. Her father was for many years station agent for the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company at Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Beacom have chil- dren : Robert Zimmers Beacom, Dorothy, Elizabeth and Virginia.
HON. WELTY McCULLOGH was born in Greensburg, Pennsyl- vania, October 10, 1847. and was graduated from Princeton College in the class of 1870. He read law with the late W. H. H. Markle, Esq., in Greensburg, and was admitted to the bar in 1872. Very early in his professional life he be- came a corporation lawyer and devoted most of his time to railroad law. For many years he was solicitor for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and other important corporations. Whilst he always resided in Greensburg and practiced in our courts, he almost continuously kept an office in Pittsburg and practiced in the Allegheny county courts as well. He was renowned both there and in Westmoreland county as a lawyer of high standing particularly in corporation law. In the preparation of papers and in all the varied work of an all around lawyer, he had but few equals in either of these counties. He was married on June 13, 1872. to Ada B. Markle, of Greensburg, a daughter of W. HE. HE. Markle, Esq., with whom he had read law.
He was scrupulously careful to perform his share of the work or bear his share of the burdens that fell upon him and his friends. He always took an ac- tive part in politics, and made many public addresses of that character. In
132

doing so he did not select the places easily accessible to his home, but will- ingly did his share of the work in remote regions of the county. Nor did he really ever seek office, though in 1886 he was nominated for congress by the Republicans of Westmoreland, Fayette, and Greene counties. The district was strongly Democratic but there were two Democrats in the field which divided the vote of that party and Mr. Mccullough was elected. Unfortunately after the close of his term in congress he was taken sick and died August 1, 1889.
The bar associations of both Allegheny and Westmoreland counties passed highly eulogistic resolutions of his work and merit as a lawyer and a citizen. Mr. McCullogh was a man of strong physique, a handsome face and as has been shown above had talents of a high order. One of his leading characteristics was his thorough honesty, not only in business matters but in the expression of opinion and in everything he did. He could not feign a friendship he did not feel. Had he been less sincere he might perhaps have been more popular. His circle of friends was not as wide as that of many, but all who knew him per- sonally were most devoted to him and remained so through life.
DENNA C. OGDEN, an attorney of the city of Greensburg, Penn- sylvania, was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, March 16, 1860, the second son of Lieutenant John B. Ogden and wife Bella J.

He had a son Joseph, born in 1735; came to Fairfield township, Westmoreland county in 1755 and there died in 1815. He was among the pioneer band who settled the county. Among his children was one son named James Ogden, born in 1785, died in 1858. He had a son, John B. Ogden, born July 16, 1825, and died December 19, 1889.

He was married in Fort Ligonier, which he and his wife helped defend against the Indian attacks in 1763.
Denna C. Ogden was educated in the common schools and at Blairsville Academy. He read law with Stewart and Marlin, of Jefferson county, Penn- sylvania, where he was admitted to the bar in 1882 and the following year ad- mitted to practice in Westmoreland county, locating at Greensburg. He was nominated on the Democratic ticket for the office of district attorney in 1886, conducted a remarkable campaign and was elected by a large majority, polling more votes than any of the sixteen Democratic candidates, and was the young- est man ever elected to that time, to such a position in the county, he being only twenty-six years of age. Throughout his term of three years he acquitted him- self manfully and treated all with fairness. He refused to become a candidate again. Since that date he has built up a lucrative practice and enjoys a good

reputation for being an honorable legal adviser. He married, April 5, 1888, Anna W. Mccullough, daughter of John McCullough, and wife, and the sister of Hon. Welty Mccullough, deceased.
ANANIAS SHUMAKER, the present treasurer of Westmoreland county, is of German descent, the family name originally being spelled "Schu- maker." At an early day the ancestors settled in eastern Pennsylvania, some of its members living in Bucks county. The family have nearly all been farm- ers, and the grandfather of Ananias Shumaker was one of the sturdy farmers of his time. He was born in Allegheny township, Somerset county, Pennsyl- vania. He married, lived and died in the same county. Their children were: Jolın, Daniel, Jacob, Peter, Sarah and Mary. They all married and became farmers in their native county.

His regiment was the One Hun- dred and Forty-second Pennsylvania Infantry, commanded by Colonel Com- mons, who was killed at the battle of Gettysburg. This regiment was a part of the Fifth Army Corps and of the Army of the Potomac. Mr. Shumaker was at the battle of Fredericksburg, and with his regiment during every engagement in which they participated, to the close of that greatest of American conflicts, being honorably discharged at Washington, D. C., May 29, 1865. During all these years of warfare he was fortunate enough to have never been captured. wounded, or in hospital, though several shots at various times pierced his cloth- ing. But four or five of his comrades fared as well, for in many a hard fought battle the loss was great to his command. When peace finally came, and the "stars and stripes" were the only colors flying over a free people, Mr. Shu- maker returned to his native county, and on January 29, 1866, he was married to Mary Ann Campbell, daughter of W. B. and Sarah ( Harr) Campbell, farm- ers of Cook township, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. Soon after his marriage. he removed to Knox county. Ohio, where he embarked in the boot and shoe trade. After two and one-half years in business in Ohio, he sold and went west, locating at Tama city, Iowa, then a mere hamlet, but now a prosper- ous railroad centre. After a short time he returned to his native county, locat- ing in the boot and shoe business at Latrobe, but after a few years he sold and became a traveling salesman for a large boot and shoe wholesale house-Graff, Sons and Company. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for whom he traveled in western Pennsylvania for twenty-one years, leaving the road in 1895. being succeeded by his second son.

He was elected by more than four thousand majority. Politically. Mr. Shumaker has ever been an active, working Republican. He was a member of the council of Latrobe two terms, in the place in which he had spent thirty-two years of his life. He re- moved to the city of Greensburg (that being the county seat ) upon his election, taking his seat January 1, 1903, and in October of that year, purchased the dry goods business formerly conducted by W. T. Welty, at No. 128 Main street, Greensburg. He built, in 1905, an up-to-date residence on North Maple ave- nue, the cost of which, including the lot, was twelve thousand dollars, provid- ing himself and family one of the best homes in the city.
Mr. Shumaker married (first), in 1866, Mary Ann Campbell. Their chil- (Iren were: William Milton, born in Knox county, Ohio, October 22, 1867, now deputy treasurer under his father ; Blanche, born August 16, 1870, at Latrobe, died November 3. 1874 ; Ella, born at the same place, April 3, 1873, now at home and acting as her father's clerk and typewriter; Charles Wesley, born at Lat- robe, January 21, 1876, now manager of his father's dry goods store in Greens- burg, Pa .; Ada M., born at the same place, March 16, 1879, died April 14, 1886, at the age of eight years.
