       ENOS McGEE, car repairer for the Sullivan Railroad Coal Company, in whose
  employ he has been for twenty-three years, resides at Bernice, where he is a
  highly respected citizen. He was born at Binghamton, New York, June 15, 1836,
  and is of Irish descent, his father, Patrick McGee, being a native of the north
  of Ireland and reared among the beautiful flax fields for which that part of the
  Emerald Isle is noted. The father came to this country when eighteen years of
  age and was married in New York about 1833, to Miss Sarah Quinn, also born in
  Ireland. They resided for a time in Binghamton, and then came to Sullivan
  county, where the father died at sixty-two years of age, and the mother when
  fifty years old. They were most worthy people, highly respected in their
  community, and reared their family to habits of industry and sobriety. The
  father was a stone mason by trade and did general work in that line. Their
  family consisted of nine children, of whom the sons were: Enos; John and James,
  of Albany, Pennsylvania; William, a son of John, who became a soldier in the
  Spanish war.
  
      Enos McGee was for many years engaged in mining and has always borne a high
  character as an honest, upright man. He is interested in all the live questions
  of the day and favors all enterprises which tend to the welfare of his
  community. Mr. McGee was married in Dushore, June 14, 1864, to Miss Mary
  Donagan, a native of Ireland and a daughter of Patrick and Margaret (O'Brien)
  Donagan, and the following children have been born of this union, namely: Sarah
  (Mrs. Parr), of Bernice; Catherine (Mrs. Donovan), of Cherry township; Patrick
  H., of Bernice; Robert, of Cherry township; Enos, Jr., and William.
  
      Mr. McGee is a stanch Democrat and has frequently served as judge of
  elections. Socially he is a member of the Knights of Labor.
