Mrs. Michael McCague, one time residents of Ebensburg, where they were 
postmaster and postmistress under the administration of President Buchanan 
died in Bethany W. Va., Saturday. The McCagues came to Ebensburg from 
Lilly, this county, and Mr. McCague was soon after appointed postmaster of 
Ebensburg by President Buchanan and died during his term in office.  
President Buchanan then appointed Mrs. McCague as postmistress of 
Ebensburg.  The post office in this place in those days stood on the lot 
of ground on High Street recently occupied by Mrs. R. E. Jones millinery 
store, being a small one story frame building.  While postmistress of 
Ebensburg, Mrs. McCague, the mother of Mrs. Wolfe, was married to William 
Orr, an undertaker of Johnstown at which time the family left Ebensburg 
removing to Johnstown.  The deceased was well known to the older citizens.  
Her remains reached Ebensburg Monday afternoon and were taken at once to 
Lloyd's cemetery where short services were conducted by the Rev. H. Mahon 
of the Christian church.  Mrs. Wolfe is the seventh member of the family 
to be buried in Lloyd's cemetery.
