The only McQuillan I personally knew about was my second grade teacher at the Nagle one room school in Elder Township [about 1947.] The school had first, second and third grade--I was in second grade. She taught in the various schools in the township and probably other local schools. At that time, the School Boards changed the teachers around from school to school each year, which must have been extremely difficult for them in the days before everyone had cars. Most of the school did not have running water, indoor toilets or any heat but a wood or coal stove. Usually the teacher hired an older local boy to take care of opening the school, hauling the water, starting the stove and shoveling the snow. I can't remember Mrs. McQuillan's first name--children don't, do they? It might have been Alma. But later I "heard" her maiden name was Miller and she was from a Miller family in Nicktown. I don't know anything else, except it was spelled McQuillan, with the capital "Q." I do have a picture of her from a 1941 Libby School photo. I recently found an article about "Golden Agers" in the local paper about my first grade teacher, Miss Florence Effinger. At that time the Hastings Schools used the vacant Catholic school, and my family was temporarily living in Hastings while my father remodeled our farm house. By third grade, the Catholic school reopened and I left the one-room school. If the McQuillan family you are searching for was buried in Fairview Cemetery, it means the family was Protestant. Patton had Methodist, Swedish Lutheran [Sunday school in Swedish which they sometimes shared with Hastings], Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, Slovak Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, Orthodox and St. Mary's Catholic Church. I think there were a total of 13, actually. Marilyn Kline Washington -----Original Message----- From: elaine wilkinson <jwilkinson3@triad.rr.com> To: Cambria Co.
