Henry Wilson Storey - History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania (Volume 3) - online text (page 48 of 101)

EDWARD H. McCUE, a well known retired business man of Cambria county, Pennsylvania, who now resides in Walnut Grove, a suburb of Johnstown, in that county, traces his ancestry to Ireland, and has inherited many of the admirable traits which characterize tlie natives of that country.
Timothy McCue, grandfather of Edward H. McCue was a native of Ireland, and emigrated to this country with his wife in the early part of the nineteenth century. He married, in Ireland, Catherine,
and they had children: Edward, (see forward), Susan, married Wash-
ington Sissler [moved to Iowa ... see below], Mary, married John Koplin, Elizabeth, married Joseph Sides, Michael, married Mary Montooth, Hannah, married George Stoner, Biddy, died in childhood. All of these are now (1906) deceased with the exception of Michael, who resides in Jackson county, Iowa.
Edward McCue, eldest child of Timothy and Catherine McCue, was born in Cornwall, Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, October 31, 1817. He was a charcoal burner by occupation, and carried on an extensive business throughout the state of Pennsylvania and in Harford county, Maryland, from the age of seventeen years until his death, which occurred, March, 1883. He was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He married Leah Nagle and they had children: Sarah, married William Redman, Timothy, died in childhood, Hannah, married Samuel Wambaugh, Edward H. (see forward), Catherine, married Edward Snodgrass, Mary, married Lewis Weiser, Susan, died in childhood, Ella, married Joseph Boyd, Coleman, employed as superintendent by the Ferro Concrete Company, Lydin, married David Boyd.

Edward H. McCue, second son and fourth child of Edward and
Leah (Nagle) McCue, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, October 5, 1850. His early years were spent in his native county, where he obtained a limited education in the public schools of the district, and this he has supplemented by keen observation and enterprise, so that he may truly he called a self-made man. He resided with his parents until he had attained the age of nineteen years, assisting his father in the charcoal burning business. He was then apprenticed to learn the blacksmith's trade, serving for three years with his uncle, John Koplin, and upon the completion of his apprenticeship set out to work as a journeyman. He worked here and there until 1873, when he found what promised to be a more permanent position in the vicinity of Johnstown, with Jacob Sproul with whom he later removed to Geistown. At the expiration of six months he decided to establish himself in a business of his own, and accordingly opened a blacksmith's shop in Elim, a small
village not far from Johnstown. Here he soon acquired an excellent custom trade, and remained in that location for some years, subsequently removing to the old reservoir, where, at the end of three years, he sold out and entered the employ of Senator J. C. Stoneman, by whom he was employed for the long period of eighteen years and five months. His next undertaking was to establish himself in Sharon, Pennsylvania, where he followed his occupation for two years, and then retired from this line of business. He located in Walnut Grove, a very pleasant suburb of Johnstown, where he purchased a commodious and comfortable residence, in which he lives with his wife and only son. Although retired from active business life, he still occasionally undertakes special commissions. This was the case when he recently worked for the Ferro Concrete Company as a blacksmith, forging the hooklike ends of the steel rods used by this company in the construction of the steel reinforced concrete buildings.
Mr. McCue has earned an enviable reputation for probity and reliability in the course of his long and active business career.

Mr. McCue married December 23, 1879, Henrietta Beisel, born in
Adams township, Cambria county, Pennsylvania, April 16, 1857, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Reichard) Beisel, and they have one child, Ira C. a promising young dentist of Johnstown. He was born December 6, 1880, and obtained a good education in the public schools of Adams township, and at the Central Pennsylvania College, in New Berlin, Pennsylvania. Later he took a three years' course in the Pittsburg Dental College, from which he was graduated with honor. Upon his return to Johnstown he worked for a time as assistant to Dr. Matthews, and then established himself in private practice, with elaborately equipped offices at No. 540 Main street, in the Bantly Building, where he is meeting with unqualified success, and has a large and constantly increasing practice.
