  of agriculture in Lawrence County. In 1878 he married Martha J. Young,
  who is a daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Campbell) Young. They have had
  five children, the four survivors being: Frank, who married Hettenbaugh,

  comfortable two-story residence, set in the midst of an attractive lawn,
  substantial farm out-buildings forming a background. Mr. McConaghy
  raises the usual grains of this climate and follows agricultural methods
  which insure him bountiful harvests.
