PORTER, MCCARRELL *Mr. PORTER's obit was previously posted with the obits from April 28, 1917 McDonald Outlook. The obit from the Record contains additional information so I am reposting it. George PORTER, superintendent of the South Penn Oil Company, Midland division, died Monday, April 23, 1917, at 9 a.m. after a lingering illness, at his home, 151 South Negley avenue, Pittsburgh. He was born in County Armagh, Ireland, September 10, 1844, and came to this country at the age of fifteen. He lived in Beaver County until 1864, when he went to Oil City, where he secured a position in Robson & Co.'s hardware store, becoming a member of the firm a year later. In 1874 he and Robert M. WAUGH, under the firm name of WAUGH & PORTER, operated extensively in the Butler, Bradford, and Richburg oil fields. In 1886 he became identified with the Standard Oil Company in the fuel department. In 1890 he was appointed superintendent of the South Penn Oil Company's oil wells around Oil City. In 1897 he was transferred to the Bradford district and in 1902 to the Pittsburgh district. He was a member of Petrolia Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Oil City, and the East Liberty Presbyterian Church. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. William GATES and Mrs. E. A. NESBIT of Pittsburgh; and a brother and two sisters in Ireland. Mr. PORTER was a frequent visitor to McDonald and was highly regarded by all who came in contact with him. Funeral services were held at his late home on Wednesday afternoon. Leman MCCARRELL, a well-known and respected citizen of this county, died at his home at Hickory at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, April 19, 1917. Death was due to old age. Mr. MCCARRELL was born March 24, 1936. He was reared on the old MCCARRELL homestead and attended school at the MCCARRELL schoolhouse. After completing his schooling he taught for two winters in Canton township, but soon after became more interested in agriculture, which he had followed ever since. Mr. MCCARRELL married Miss Ellen S. DONALDSON, daughter of Andrew DONALDSON of Mt. Pleasant township, and six children were born to them, four of whom survive: Mrs. A. A. TAGGART of near Buffalo Village, A. Donaldson MCCARRELL of Hickory, Mrs. Walker DINSMORE of Steubenville, Ohio, and Thomas L. MCCARRELL, who now occupies the old homestead. One brother, the rev. Alexander D. MCCARRELL, survives from a family of nine children. Funeral services were held at the late home Saturday afternoon. Interment was at Hickory.
