Death of Mrs. Margaret McCue
We learn from the Staunton (Va.) Valley Virginian of Nov. 1st, that Mrs. Margaret C. McCue died at her home near Mt. Solon, Augusta County, Va., during the previous month at the advanced age of 87 years.
Mrs. McCue was a sister of the late Gov. Trimble and also of our esteemed fellow citizen, John A. Trimble, who is now the last surviving member of his father's large family.
Mrs. McCue was a most estimable christian lady and her useful life of nearly a century was marked by many memorial events. The Valley Virginian publishes an interesting sketch of her life and character, which we have not room to copy this week but it will appear in our next issue.

Mrs. Margaret McCue
Editor News: Will you please copy from the "Valley Virginian" the obituary notice of the late Mrs. Margaret C. McCue, who recently died in Augusta County, Va." It portrays justly the worth and virtues of an estimable lady, who had many relatives and friends in this state and Kentucky who will revere her memory and shed the sympathetic tear. Yours, &e
Mrs. Margaret Christian McCue
The death of this estimable lady to which brief reference was made in our issue of last week adds another to the rapidly increasing number of those who have of late years been summoned to their rest, and whose departure has occasioned a deep and widely felt sense of bereavement in nearly every class and condition of society.
Mrs. McCue was a native of Woodford County, Kentucky, being born near the city of Lexington, 1790, in which town she was educated; her parents having removed from this county soon after the close of the American Revolution.
She was married to her relative, the late James A. McCue, in summer of 1808, and since that time had continuously resided on the family estate near Mt. Solon. Mrs. McCue was a woman of remarkable strength and force of character. She united to an intellect of almost masculine vigor and quickness, an energy that was indomitable, and a firmness of purpose that no obstacle could appeal. Her mind had been trained in a school that developed it in robust strength while it polished and adorned it. Works of fiction were never her favorites and with the exception of the writings of Scott, we question whether she had ever read a novel. In historical knowledge she, however, was well versed, especially in ecclesiastical history and her taste led her strongly to the study of controversial writing. She was a devoted Presbyterian and a zealous laborer in the congregation of Moss Creek from 1811 up to within a few years of her death. The bounds of the church were at that time widely extended, and indeed it was hardly known as Mosey Creek church property.
She very frequently attended service at the old stone church, distance nearly twelve miles, going and returning with her husband the same day. She was an expert and intrepid horsewoman, and made during the earlier days repeated journeys to Kentucky and Ohio on horseback accompanied by her children and servant. When any friend or relative in the limits of the county was seriously ill her great desire was to be with them and the faithful riding horse was equipped and at the door as soon as the intelligence would reach her. Her preference for this mode of travel even after the days of carriages and turnpikes, was singularly retained, and when eighty years old she would order her horse for a short ride to church or to a near neighbor's and manage him with the ease and fearlessness of a girl.
To the poor and afflicted within the range of assistance she was ever a benefactor and a friend, and her spacious house was always the refuge of those who stood in need of friendly counsel, or of substantial aid.
In the matters of religion and especially in reference to Sunday observance, her ideas were rigid and anyone whom she regarded as neglecting or failing in his duty in this respect, be he influential or humble, met her prompt and unsparing rebuke. She had lived and worked while two generations grew up around her and felt that her relations to them gave her this privilege as of right. While stern and inflexible in her demeanor towards the conscious wrong doer, she was prompt with sympathy and charity to the lowly and ignorant and sought by instruction and kindness to win them to the right.
The long procession of sincere mourners that followed her remains to the last resting place in the family cemetery near the home which as a girlish bride she entered seventy years before and where she had fought her battle of life so bravely and honorably attests the esteem in which she was held by young and old and while they sorrowed for her as one whose influence and example - whose kindly heart and generous nature had gone from them forever, they knew she had entered on the blessed fruition of her holy life work and that from age and infirmity the hand of the loving Master had released her to take her to "that rest" which on the morning of her death she yearned for, and to which she looked forward with such radiant hope.
Mrs. McCue was one of a family which for nearly a century and a half has figured conspiously and honorably in the military and civil history of our country. Her father, James Trimble, who married Jane Allen in this county, was a Captain of Cavalry in the war for Independence, and as a mere boy participated several years before in the bloody battle of Point Pleasant, fought by Gen. Lewis against the Indian chief Cornstalk.
She was a niece of Lieut. Hugh Allen, who fell in this fight, while, John, another uncle, was an officer in the provincial battalion that marched under Washington as Major and perished in Braddock's defeat before Fort Duquesne.
She was a sister of the late ex-Governor, Allen Trimble of Ohio, of Col. Wm. A. Trimble, a gallant and distinguished officer of the regular army who was desperately wounded in a sortie at Fort Erie in 1813, and died in Washington from the effects of his wound while serving as U. S. Senator in 1821. Capt. Cary Trimble, another efficient officer in the army, whose constitution had been impaired by the disastrous campaign under Hull at Detroit, died the same
year, while Dr. Cyrus Trimble, a prominent physician of Chillicothe, Ohio, died a few months after these brothers. Mr. James Trimble, another brother and one of the founders of the present flourishing city of Hillsboro, Ohio,
died early in 1867. Governor Trimble survived him three or four years.
With the subject of this memoir all but one of this large family have passed away. The survivor is Mr. John A. Trimble of Hillsboro, Ohio.
