To Mrs. Nancy McMeen, of Curtin, " The Republican" as one of a host of friends extends congratulations on her 94th birthday, which comes on Monday Aug. 27th. May hers be a happy birthday!
Born in Milesburg, the daughter of Samuel Lipton, a pioneer who became very well to do in his day by his shrewd business genius and capacity for hard work, she was born in the valley where she is perhaps best known and most highly thought of.
Her Father was a lumberman and merchant, his operations covering much territory in the vicinity of Snowshoe and along the Susquehanna River. He made good as a businessman and as a homebuilder, having a family of ten Children. Among the buildings in Milesburg, which stand in memory of his achievements, are the Presbyterian parsonage, build about 75 years ago, and several dwellings near the diamond.
James Lipton, a brother of Mrs. McMeen served several terms as Prothonotary of Centre County. Of the ten children, Mrs. McMeen is the last survivor.
She makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Harry Curtin Sr. of Curtin, and is known as the "good Angel" of the community, seemingly deriving more pleasure from serving and helping others than from any other source. She has good use of all her faculties, is sprightly and supple and has not been obliged to use glasses for fifteen years, her sight being improved in her latter days. She is very good to the sick and poor, believing in practical religion more than theory.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment in Mrs. McMeen's life was the loss of her husband, death claiming him when he was but 27 years old. Dr. William McMeen was a druggist, and it was customary in early days for druggists also to practice medicine and he was associated with Dr. George L. Potter, a well-known physician. Mrs. Harry Curtin was the only child of Dr. and Mrs. McMeen and so it makes life very pleasant for the mother and daughter to be spared for each other, Mrs. Curtin also being bereaved of her husband some years ago.
Mrs. McMeen has four grandchildren. J, Mac Curtin, of Pittsburgh; ; H. L. Curtin; of Curtin, John Curtin of Bellefonte and Katherine, wife of T.V. Hodges of Syracuse. There are 14 great-grandchildren. All love their grandmother, who adores them.
