T. C. BEBOUT, one of the leading funeral directors of Washington, Pa., who has been a resident here since 1893, was born at Amity, Washington County, Pa., in 1858. He is a son of James A. and Elizabeth Jane (Sharp) Bebout and a grandson of Nemmons Bebout, who was one of the pioneers of Washington County. James A. Bebout was a native of Amwell Township and was engaged as an undertaker and cabinetmaker at Amity during the greater part of his life. He was a member of Co. D, 140th Pa. Vol. Inf., and was killed in the second day's battle at Gettysburg, during the Civil War.

T. C. Bebout was reared at Amity, where he attended the public schools and early in life learned the black- smith trade, at which he worked for about eighteen years. In 1893 he came to Washington, where he and his uncle, M. Sharp, engaged in the furniture business, to which they later added an undertaking establishment, operating under the firm name of M. Sharp & Company. Seven years later the firm was succeeded by Hallam & Bebout, which partnership continued for five years, when it was dissolved, Mr. Bebout retaining the

undertaking establishment, of which he has been sole owner since. Mr. Bebout is one of the progressive and public spirited citizens of Washington, and is in- terested in other enterprises of this city, as well as hav- ing an interest in considerable real estate of this city.

Mr. Bebout was first married to Mary A. Gaus, who died in 1888, and they had two sons, James M. and N. Raymond, both of whom are associated with their father in the business. He formed a second marital union with Elizabeth VanDyke. They are members of the Methodist Protestant Church, and Mr. Bebout is fraternally a mem- ber of the K. of P., I. O. O. F., Tribe of Ben Hur, and the Home Guards of America, U. S. Grant, No. 80. Mr. Bebout has served as a member of the borough council.

JAMES H. ROBB,* who resides on a farm of sixty acres, located about one mile from McDonald, Pa., has for many years been one of the substantial farmers of Robinson Township, and was born on his present farm in the old stone house which was erected by his grand- father in 1813. He is a son of James and Ellen (Henry) Robb. His parents were farmers of Washington County and their children were: Elizabeth, the deceased wife of Henry C. McEwen; Margaret, who died aged seven- teen years; James H., the subject of this sketch; Will- iam S., who served three years in the Civil War, enlist- ing in August, 1862; George; and Jane Ellen, who is the wife of James Moorehead.

James H. Robb was reared on the home farm and at- tended the common schools of the township, but early in life began working on the farm. He followed agri- culture until about ten years ago, since which time he has been engaged chiefly in carpentering. Mr. Robb is a Republican in politics, is one of the school directors of Robinson Township, and has served a term of three years as road supervisor.

February 11, 1868, Mr. Robb was united in marriage with Elizabeth. Bell, a daughter of Richard Bell, who was one of the prominent farmers of Entram, Ohio. The following children were born to her parents: Henry; Alexander, who was a United Presbyterian minister; John; James; William; Jennie, deceased wife of Snow- den Linn; Martha, deceased; Amanda, who married a Mr. Boyd; Margaret; and Elizabeth, (Mrs. Robb) who is now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Robb were born three children: Clyde B .; James Henry, Jr., who is engaged in the oil business in California, Pa .; and Martha Jane,. who is the wife of Arthur Smith. Mrs. Robb passed out of this life in September, 1904, and was buried in the Hilldale Cemetery, which is located on the Robb farm. She was a devoted member and earnest worker in the United Presbyterian Church. Mr. Robb is also a mem-

ber of the United Presbyterian Church at McDonald, Pa. Mr. Robb has three producing oil wells in operation on his farm.

E. G. MeGREGOR,* postmaster at Burgettstown, Pa., . one cut-off-saw, one joiner, one molder, one dado ma- has spent almost his entire life in this pleasant borough and is known to almost every resident. He was born at Florence, Washington County, Pa., June 6, 1875, and is a son of S. C. and Sara Jane (Culley) McGregor. The father of Mr. McGregor was of Scotch ancestry. He was born at Noblestown, Allegheny County, Pa., but later moved into Washington County, where he became a man of both business and political prominence, serving as county treasurer. He engaged in merchandizing first at Noblestown, subsequently at Florence and still later at Burgettstown. His death occurred at the latter place in April, 1903. He married Sarah Jane Culley, a daugh- ter of Robert and Amelia (Grant) Culley. She died in March, 1902.

E. G. McGregor was educated at Burgettstown and then went into his father's store, assisting him until 1902, and closing out the business after the father's death. Since April 1, 1901, Mr. McGregor has been postmaster at Burgettstown and has made a very good impression as a public official.

On November 18, 1903, Mr. McGregor was married to Miss Ada L. Dowden, a daughter of D. J. and Caro- line (Garrison) Dowden, and they have two children, J. Bradley and Mary Edna. Mr. and Mrs. McGregor at- tend the First Presbyterian Church. Fraternally he is a Mason, having passed the chairs in Richard Vaux Lodge, F. & A. M., No. 654, Burgettstown. He belongs also to Silver Cliff Lodge No. 300, Knights of Pythias, and to William S. Bradley Camp No. 96, Sons of Vet- erans. In politics he is a Republican and has kept in close touch with the local leaders of the party for a num- ber of years.

FRANK J. EGAN,* proprietor of the National Plan- ing Mills, with extensive lumber yards at Claysville, has been identified here since 1900, when he purchased the interests of R. G. Porter. Mr. Egan was born in Don- egal Township, Washington County, Pa., February 15, 1866, and is a son of John and Mary A. (Kinsley) Egan.

The father of Mr. Egan was born in Ireland, came to . America in early manhood and married Mary A. Kinsley, who was born in Washington County, Pa. Her father was James Kinsley, a well known railroad con- tractor. It was he who built the West Alexander Rail- road tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Frank J. Egan was reared in Donegal Township and attended school there, afterward working on a farm until he was twenty-two years old, when he learned the car-

penter's trade. Subsequently he went into his present business, coming to Claysville as noted above, in 1900. He has here a large and well equipped plant. In his mills he works one planer, one band-saw, one rip-saw, chine, one sash and door machine, one sash-boxing ma- chine and one sash and door machine. These machines represent a large amount of capital, all being of best quality and thoroughly modern construction. He has supplied the lumber and fixtures for many of the best constructed buildings at Claysville, an example being found in the beautiful and appropriate fittings of the Farmers' National Bank. He manufactures sash, doors and other building material, including poplar siding for building purposes and he employs on an average from six to eight men in the plant and lumber yard. He also handles lumber, coal, sand, gravel and brick, doing a large business in all lines. There are few busier or more progressive business men in Claysville than Mr. Egan. He has other investments than those mentioned and is one of the directors in the Farmers' National Bank, of which he was also one of the organizers.

Mr. Egan was married to Miss Julia O'Brien, who was born in Buffalo Township, Washington County, and they have four children: John F., Mary M., William J. and Julia M. Mr. Egan and family are members of the Catholic Church. In politics he is a Democrat and at different times has served in public offices, being a very useful member of the borough Council for several terms. He is one of the representative business men of the place.

JOHN TUCKER,* one of Hanover Township's best known citizens, was born on his valuable farm of seventy one acres, situated in this township, in 1849. He is a son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Johnston) Tucker, and a grandson of Jonathan Tucker.

Mr. Tucker's parents, who came to Washington County from another part of the State, died in Hanover Town- ship. They were very worthy people, Jonathan Tucker being a farmer. Their children were as follows: Mar- garet, who died young; John, whose name appears at the head of this sketch; David, who went to the West some forty years ago and has not been heard of for the past ten years; Rachel, now deceased, who was the wife of James Neely; Sarah, who married Steward Hanlin; Margaret (2d), who married James Bruce; and Alfred, Hudson, Wesley and Cora, all of whom reside in Han- over Township.

John Tucker is a successful farmer and stock raiser and has been engaged in that business continuously since his school days ended. He has spent his life up to the present time in Hanover Township, owning valuable land here. The discovery of oil on his property has also

1364

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY

served to increase his income. He has four producing wells which flow seven barrels of oil daily. Mr. Tucker is a Republican in his political principles. He is always ready to perform any duty that good citizenship de- mands, except to serve in public office, to which he has such a repugnance that he asserts he would pay a fine rather than be compelled to recede from his determination in this respect.

Mr. Tucker married Miss Malissa Porter, a daughter of Joseph and Nancy (Fullerton) Porter, farming people of Hanover Township, both now deceased. They had three children, John, Malissa and Clark. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker have one daughter, Laura. The family belong to the Presbyterian Church.

JOHN N. SNYDER,* who is a prosperous business man at Bentleyville, Pa., where he conducts a confec- tionery store and ice cream parlors, has been a resident of Washington County for thirty years and has been a leading citizen of Bentleyville since 1901 and very closely identified with its material progress. He was born at Laurel Point, Monongahela County, W. Va., May 30, 1851, and is a son of John E. and Julia (Hess) Snyder.

The father of Mr. Snyder was a farmer in West Vir- ginia, where he died in 1877. His widow then came to make her home with a son in Washington County, and subsequently died at his home.

John N. Snyder was reared near Morgantown, West Virginia, and early displayed musical talent and to such a degree that when fourteen years of age he began to teach vocal music and continued for twenty-five years. He attended school at Morgantown and also kept up his musical studies, becoming a pupil of the well known Prof. W. H. S. Wilson at the Normal School at Zoar Church, Monongahela County, West Virginia. He was 27 years of age when he came to Centerville, Washington County, and the teaching of music, in which he was very successful, was his chosen profession and leading interest until he came to Bentleyville. He purchased a building which had previously been used as a blacksmith shop and thoroughly remodeled it and made a modern and conve- nient store of the premises, and conducts his business in this now attractive building. He also owns two resi- dence buildings at Bentleyville and has other interests. Some six years ago he purchased seven acres of land in the borough, which he laid out in town lots and improved, and he was mainly instrumental in having a bridge built over he creek which connects these lots with the town, making this a very choice place for residence. He shows an interest in all that concerns the welfare of the town and its citizens and has standing as a reputable and sub- stantial business man.

Mr. Snyder married Miss Belle Hamer, who was born in Fayette County, Pa., a daughter of Wellington Hamer,

a native of England. They have five children: Elvie, who married Ada Garrett, has one son, Charles; Elroy, who married Bertha Heinbaugh, has one son, Herman; and Blanche, James Russell and John Edgar. Mr. Snyder is the leader of the choir of the First Presbyte- rian Church at Bentleyville, in which he is an elder.

CHARLES F. THOMPSON,* president of the Web- ster, Monessen, Belle Vernon and Fayette City Railway Company, of Monessen, Pa., and vice-president of the Mercantile Bridge Company, has been a resident of Charleroi, Pa., since 1890, when the town was laid out. He was born on the old Thompson farm in Union Township, Washington County, Pa., January 7, 1862, and is a son of W. W. and Violet P. (Patton) Thomp- son. The father died in Union Township and the mother still survives.

Charles F. Thompson remained on the home farm until he was eighteen years old, in the meanwhile ob- taining a public school education in Union Township. He became interested in a general store at Finleyville, where he remained four years, and during this time also was concerned in lumber, oil and gas .. When he came first to the new village of Charleroi, he formed the C. F. Thompson Lumber Company, which he sold in 1897, but in 1900 he was one of the organizers of the Donora Lumber Company when that town was laid out, and continues his relationship with that concern, being its president. He is also a director in the Charleroi Bank. Since June, 1904, the Webster, Monessen, Belle Vernon and Fayette City Railway Company has been in opera- tion, it being but partly organized when Mr. Thomp- son's company purchased it. This company operates also the West Side Electric Street Railway. These are large business enterprises, their success depending upon their solid financing and able managing.

Mr. Thompson married Miss Mary E. Mckean, a daughter of Robert Mckean. He is a Thirty-second degree Mason, a member of Syrian Temple, Pittsburg, and of the Commandery at Charleroi. He is identified also with the Elks. While not an active politician, Mr. Thompson always takes an interest in the election to public office of representative, strong, vigorous and fear- less men.

GEORGE COOK McPEAKE is an extensive dealer in real estate, fire, life and accident insurance, at Canons- burg, and, perhaps, more than any other one man, has contributed to the building up of the material interests of this city, where he was born October 2, 1862, and is a son of Henry C. and Martha (Bacon) McPeake.

The McPeake family was founded in Washington County by the grandparents, Thomas and Mary Anne (Updegraff) McPeake. Thomas McPeake came from

GEORGE COOK McPEAKE

1367

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY

Ireland, when seven years of age, with an older half brother, William, who settled in Washington, D. C. From that city Thomas, when a young man, went to Win- chester, Va., where he met the Updegraffs. Later the family all went to the Little Kanawha Valley, where Thomas McPeake and Mary Anne Updegraff were mar- ried January 30, 1810. They came up the Ohio and thence entered the Chartiers Valley, where they settled, near Canonsburg, Pa. The following children were born to them: Harmon, Harriet, Margaret, Nancy, William, John, Mary B., Henry, Eliza and James. Thomas Me- Peake was a soldier in the War of 1812, taking part in the battle of Lundy's Lane and other engagements.

Henry C. McPeake was born in 1828, at Canonsburg, where he died in 1887. In early days, before the rail- roads had penetrated to every part of Washington County, he engaged in teaming, then a very profitable business, but later he became a general merchant at Canonsburg, where he was engaged for about twenty years, retiring from active life at that time on account of rheumatism. Henry C. McPeake was married April 8, 1856, to Martha Bacon, who was born in Canonsburg June 20, 1836, daughter of Thomas and Emily Bacon. Mrs. McPeake died in 1868 in the thirty-second year of her age. To Henry C. McPeake and wife were born the following children: Stewart, who conducts the Park View Hotel at Long Beach, California; Mary Emma, who is a primary teacher; Harry, who died in 1903; George C .; and Oliver T., of Seattle, Wash.

George Cook McPeake attended the public schools of Canonsburg and subsequently graduated from Duff's Business College at Pittsburg. After he had laid his books aside, he entered into the grocery business, and in which he continued for fifteen years. In 1897, on account of failing health, he closed out his grocery interests and remained unoccupied for a time. In 1898 he re-entered the business field and embarked in the real estate busi- ness at Canonsburg and has been very actively interested in the same ever since, in the meanwhile having handled some of the largest enterprises in that line in the place. He was indirectly connected with the organizing of the Canonsburg Land and Improvement Company, on which the Fort Pitt Bridge Company's plant was erected, and he was active in bringing the pottery to Canonsburg, after others had failed to raise the required bonus. Later, through his real estate office was secured the property for the Pittsburg-Buffalo Company and he was instrumental in bringing that concern to Canonsburg. This was an important achievement and it has con- tributed in no slight degree to the prosperity which rests on this city. He also formed the company, in connec- tion with two other persons, to organize the North Stra- bane Water Company, of which he has served as secre- tary and treasurer since May 29, 1901. He has also

served in the same capacity for the Cecil Improvement Company since it sorganization, in March, 1902, and was one of the promoters and a director of the Standard Tin Plate Company, but has, however, disposed of this interest. It is due to Mr. McPeake's judgment and business foresight that his various transactions have been so successful. While working, naturally, for his own interests, his operations have greatly benefited the entire community. He has brought a large amount of capital in this direction to be invested in stable concerns that have added to the prestige of Canonsburg and, which, by distributing large amounts in salaries, have given an impetus to every line of business. Mr. Mc- Peake has associated with him J. V. H. Cook and they have a large office force.

In 1888 Mr. McPeake was married to Miss Clara Agnes Thompson, a daughter of S. B. Thompson, of North Pittsburg, and they have three children: Henry Paul, Arthur Thompson and Lois Stewart. The family attend the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Canons- burg. In politics, Mr. McPeake has always been identi- fied with the Republican party and has frequently been elected to public office. For four years he served as assistant burgess and for three years as councilman, being secretary of the board. He is also a county com- missioner, being chairman of the board. Fraternally, Mr. McPeake is associated with the Knights of Pythias, being treasurer of Lodge No. 204; with the Royal Ar- canum, No. 554; the Grand Fraternity Insurance Branch No. 251, and is a charter member of the Elks lodge at Canonsburg.

D. C. MILLER,* general farmer, stock raiser and . stock dealer, who owns 220 acres of fine land, situated in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, Penn- sylvania, two and one-half miles from Hickory, on the Burgettstown road, is one of the representative men of this section. He was born at Conger, in Morris Town- ship, Washington County, Pa., March 9, 1859, and is a son of E. P. and Mary (Kinney) Miller.

The parents of Mr. Miller were natives of Greene County, After their marriage they moved to Morris Township, Washington County, and the father followed the blacksmith trade all his active life, at Conger, where he died December 18, 1898, at the age of sixty- nine years. His wife, Mary Kinney Miller, was a daughter of James Kinney. She died March 6, 1873. They were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church, and their burial was in the West Union Ceme- tery. They had the following children born to them: Sarah J., Ross, James, D. C., Joseph, George, Frank and one other son, who died in infancy, unnamed.

D. C. Miller obtained his education at the Sparta district school and his first money was earned by work-

ing on farms in Washington County, by the month. For eleven years he continued farm work after this man- ner, but when he married he rented the John Taggart farm, near Hickory, on which place he lived for thir- teen years, and for two years on the William Carter farm. He then bought his present valuable property from William Work, finding it in fair condition, but re- quiring some repairs and the erection of new struc- tures, among the latter being a very substantial hog and chicken house. He has two sets of buildings on his farm and has a tenant and a hired man to assist him, raising cattle, hogs and sheep, and keeping over 300 of the latter. He has prospered in his undertak- ings entirely through his own industry and good man- agement and is a substantial citizen of his section and one of the stockholders in the Cecil Bank, at Cecil, Pa. He takes a good citizen's interest in public mat- ters in his neighborhood, votes the Democratic ticket, and at present is serving very usefully as township supervisor, his term expiring in March, 1910.

On March 12, 1886, Mr. Miller was married to Miss Sarah Vogle, a daughter of E. J. Vogle. The follow- ing children have been born to them: Bessie, Leila, Elizabeth, Florence, David, William J. B., Martha, Mar- garet, Esther, an unnamed infant, and Everett. Martha is deceased. Mr. Miller and family attend the Mt. Prospect Presbyterian Church.

JOHN W. DONNAN,* president of the Citizens' Na- tional Bank and president of the Washington Trust Company, two of the leading financial institutions of Washington County, is also a member of the prominent law firm of Donnans, Brownson & Miller. He is a worthy representative of one of the county's oldest and best families.

Rev. Alexander Donnan, who was born in 1775, in Scotland, entered the University of Glasgow when but seventeen years of age, being a youth of remarkable precocity. He was licensed to preach by the Presby- tery of Kilmarnock, in 1800. In the spring of 1818 he emigrated with his family to America and at once connected himself with the Associate Church of North America. In January, 1820, he received and accepted calls from what was then the Associate, now the United Presbyterian congregation of Mount Pleasant and Bur- gettstown and located in Washington County, Pa. Each of the aforesaid congregations received one-half of his pastoral labors, until 1840, when he resigned the pas- toral care of Burgettstown. The congregation at Mount Pleasant enjoyed then his undivided attention from 1840 until 1852, when, on account of the infirmities of age, he resigned that charge also. He lived some seven years longer, continuing his residence within the bounds of Mount Pleasant congregation. His death

occurred June 3, 1859, in the eighty-fifth year of his age and the fifty-ninth of his ministry. He had two sons, Alexander and John Hanna. Both became eminent physicians, the former for many years being the leading physician at Burgettstown.

Dr. John Hanna Donnan was located at Hickory, Washington County, engaged in the practice of medi- cine from 1849 until 1861. In the latter year, on ac- count of failing health, he gave up practice, but retire- ment from professional work failed to restore him and his death followed on March 9, 1862. He married a daughter of Dr. John White, one of the eminent physi- cians of his day, who entered into practice at Hickory, in Washington County, in 1816 and continued until 1849, when he retired and was succeeded by Dr. John Hanna Donnan. To Dr. Donnan and wife were born one daughter and three sons: Helen H., who married Rev. J. R. Johnston, who for years was pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church at Washington; Alvan, who is a prominent attorney at Washington; Edmond A., who is a leading physician at New Castle, Pa., and John W., of Washington. This family has thus been signally distinguished in professional life for genera- tions.

JOHN H. DONNAN,* attorney at law at Washing- ton, Pa., and a member of the prominent law firm of Donnans, Brownson & Miller, bears a name which has been one of distinction in Washington County for many years. He was born at Washington, Pa., in 1879, and is a son of John W. Donnan, one of Washington's lead- ing citizens.

The Donnan family is of Scotch extraction, and was founded in Washington County by the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, Rev. Alexander Donnan, a minister of the United Presbyterian faith. The grand- father, Dr. John Hanna Donnan, was long an eminent physician of this section, and his father, John W. Don- nan, who is president of the Citizens' National Bank and of the Washington Trust Company, is a leading financier of western Pennsylvania.

John H. Donnan attended the Washington schools and Washington and Jefferson College and was gradu- ated from that institution in the class of 1900. Im- mediately afterward he entered the law department of Harvard College and from that great law school re- ceived his diploma with the class of 1903. He entered into practice in his native city and became a member of one of the strongest law firms of Washington County -Donnans, Brownson & Miller. Mr. Donnan has been admitted to practice in the Supreme and Superior courts of the State. He has business interests aside from his profession and is a member of the board of direct- ors of the Citizens' National Bank.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY

In 1907, Mr. Donnan was married to Miss Ina Dun- can, who is a daughter of T. Jefferson Duncan, a promi- nent attorney at Washington. They are members of the Second United Presbyterian Church, of this city.

E. L. MILLER,* proprietor of the Marianna Hotel, of Marianna, Pa., a fine modern hostelry, was born at Pittsburg, Pa., June 2, 1886, and is a son of Thomas and Catherine Miller. The father conducts a wholesale liquor business at Pittsburg. Mr. Miller's mother re- sides with him at Marianna.

Mr. Miller was educated in the public schools of Pitts- burg and at St. Vincent College. He then went into business as a clerk in a wholesale house and later man- aged a hotel for his father at Pittsburg. In 1905 he came to Marianna and has invested $25,000 in the erec- tion of the Marianna Hotel. It is a handsome four-story structure, with thirty guest rooms, with bath attached and with all modern comforts and conveniences, includ- ing electric lighting. Mr. Miller makes a specialty of catering to steady boarders and has a number who make this hostelry their home, finding all the comforts of a private house here. With his mother he is a member of the Roman Catholic Church. In politics he votes independently. As a business man he has shown remarkable judgment and is very popular with his fel- low citizens and with the traveling public.

A. T. SCOTT,* who for forty years has resided on his valuable farm of 115 acres, situated in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pa., four miles north- west of Bentleyville, on the road leading from Scenery Hill to Kamerer, is a prominent and representative citi- zen of this section. He was born in Somerset Town-

ship, May 13, 1847, and is a son of David and Eleanor (Mellvain) Scott. Both parents of Mr. Scott are de- ceased. The father was an extensive farmer and stock dealer.

A. T. Scott grew to manhood in Somerset Township and his main business interests have always been along agricultural lines. His farm has been carefully culti- vated and is one of the best in the township. He re- sides with his family in a fine old brick residence, which was built in 1845.

Mr. Scott was married in 1875 to Miss Cambiella Huffman, a daughter of Joseph and Malinda ( Eagye) Huffman. Joseph Huffman was born on the old Huff- man farm in Somerset Township, and was a son of Joseph Huffman, who was born in this township after his father, Rudolph Huffman, came here. Rudolph Huff- man was born in Germany at an early day, and when he came to Somerset Township, it was a wild and un- civilized region, as he found good reason to believe. He lost his wife through the treachery of an Indian, who killed her with his bow and arrow. The mother of Mrs. Scott was born in Fallowfield Township, near Bentleyville, a daughter of Simon Eagye, who was a native of Ohio. Joseph Huffman died September 10, 1909, on Mr. Scott's farm, aged almost 80 years. His wife died January 9, 1893. Of their six children, four survive.

To Mr. and Mrs. Scott three children were born: Jo- seph H., who married Elizabeth Keyes, has one child living-Albert Lloyd, and one deceased-Gail, who died in December, 1909; Walter B. Scott, who resides at Fin- leyville, married Vesta Murray and they have three children-Alta Mary, Mary Wilda and Mabel; and Ada. L., who resides with her parents.
