  ROBERT McGEE, proprietor of McGee's restaurant and Cafe in Dushore, was born on
  the homestead farm at Satterfield, December 19, 1855, and is a son of Patrick
  and Sarah (Quinn) McGee. He attended the public schools of Cherry township and
  when thirteen years of age he began life for himself as a cart-driver at the
  building of the State Line & Sullivan Railroad. Eighteen months later he entered
  the breaker at Bernice as a slate-picker, and then went into the mines as driver
  boy and finally as miner, a vocation he followed until May 11, 1882, when he met
  with a serious accident on the railroad, which resulted in the loss of a foot
  and incapacitated him for work in the mines. In the spring of 1883 he opened his
  present place of business - an up-to-date cafe, bar and billiard parlor, the
  finest of its kind in the county. Mr. McGee is well adapted to the business and
  has won a host of friends and enjoys a large and lucrative business.
  
      On December 23, 1886, Mr. McGee was united in marriage to Miss Ellen
  Happler, a daughter of James and Catharine (Kirk) Happler, of Wilmot, Bradford
  county, and they have one son - James H. The family are consistent members of
  the Catholic church and enjoy the high esteem of a wide circle of friends.
