New Castle News (PA), February 15, 1905
Joseph McCreary, one of the oldest residents of the county, 
died about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. John McGraw, of Mahoning township.  He was in 
the 89th year and dissolution was caused by a severe attack 
of the grip, from which his great age prevented recovery. He 
had been ill about three weeks and slowly grew weaker and 
weaker until the flickering spark of life was extinguished, 
to the sorrow of many friends. He had for many years been a 
member of the Westfield Presbyterian Church and was one of 
it's staunchest supporters.  His wife preceded him in death 
some years ago, and he is survived by the following 
children:  Mrs. John McGraw, of Mahoning township, at whose 
home he had resided for the past six years; Mrs. Alfred 
Davis, of Warren, Pa; Miller McCreary and Mrs Clara A. 
McFate, of Hillsville; John C. McCreary, of Youngstown; and 
James M. McCreary, of Book's Run. Mr. McCreary was a man who 
was respected by all who knew him and he had long occupied a 
prominent place in the community where his life was spent, 
so that the grief over his death will be general. Funeral 
services Friday morning from the McGraw home and interment 
at Hillsville. Coaches from Offutt's.
