Wiley, 1889, p200
Samuel McGie, the enterprising and prosperous proprietor of the McGie
livery, feed and sale stables of Uniontown, is a son of George McGie and
was born within one mile of Uniontown, September 19, 1855.
He received his education in the public schools of Uniontown. At
nineteen years of age he entered a printing office, but that business not
suiting him he engaged in plastering for four or five years. Leaving
plastering he engaged in his present successful livery business at
Uniontown.
In 1872 he was married to Miss Rosa Wilda, daughter of Nicholas Wilda,
an emigrant from Germany to the United States in 1808. They have six
children living: Melvina McGie; Lelia McGie; Eddie McGie; Jacob McGie;
John McGie; and Fenia McGie.
Samuel McGie has been extensively engaged at Uniontown in building and
selling houses. He has built and owned 152 houses and at the present time
is the owner of thirty houses at that place. He has been surpassed by few
in the number of houses that he has built. He is a quick, stirring trader
and is very beneficial to the business interests of Uniontown.
McGie's livery and feed stables are substantial and commodious and very
conveniently arranged to accommodate large and constantly increasing
patronage. Excellent saddle horses and first class teams are furnished
promptly and at ordinary prices. He has a fine stock of carriages and
buggies and is accommodating and obliging to all.
