    3. MCBRIDE, BRUCE, SPRINGER, JOHNSTON Thomas B. MCBRIDE, one of the most successful farmers of Robinson township, died at his home two miles north of Bulger on Thursday evening, July 3, at 11:30 o'clock aged 82 years. He was born near Robinson Church, Allegheny County, April 23, 1831, the son of Nathaniel and Martha BIGGER MCBRIDE, and had lived on the farm where he died for over fifty years. He was a thorough business man, having amassed a fortune. He was quiet and unobtrusive, and while he took an interest in all that pertained to the affairs of his township and county, he never sought public office. He was twice married. His first wife died and left him two sons. One of these was killed with his young bride at the Raccoon railroad crossing just as they were starting on their wedding journey about fifteen years ago. The remaining son of this marriage is Nathaniel MCBRIDE, in the grocery business in the East End, Pittsburgh. One daughter and one son of the second marriage, together with the wife also survive. The daughter is Hattie, the wife of Earl WORK of McDonald, and the son, James, at home. Samuel MCBRIDE is a brother and Mrs. David SMILEY is a sister of the deceased.
