History of Washington County
Robert E. Orr, a leading citizen of Peters Township, Washington County, where he successfully carries on general farming and dairying on his valuable farm of seventy-nine acres, is serving his second term as a member of the township school board, of which he is treasurer. Mr. Orr was born in Upper St. Clair Township, Allegheny County, Pa., and is a son of William and Harriet (Myers) Orr, the former of whom died in 1907, the latter still residing on the homestead. They has six children, the eldest of these, Robert E., being born in 1863.
Robert E. Orr was reared in his native township and obtained a common school education. Prior to 1902 his time was mainly spent as a farmer in St. Clair Township, but in that year he bought his present farm in Peters Township, on which he has since resided. This was the old McCabe farm, the old homestead of his wife's people.
The McCabe family is one of the best known in this section of Washington County. It's founder, William McCabe was born in Ireland and came to Washington County and settled in Peters Township, in 1783. His son, Joseph E. McCabe, was born in 1790 and married Margaret Fife. He operated one of the first distilleries in the count and also was a colonel of militia during a period of residence in Allegheny County. He died February 5, 1870, his wife having died July 29, 1831.
John McCabe, son of Joseph E. McCabe, was born in Allegheny County, August 16, 1816, married Sarah, a daughter of Robert Thompson, and became the founder of the Peters Township branch of the McCabe family. He died in October, 1895, and his wife, September 14, 1879. Their children were: Robert T., Joseph, Catherine and John. Joseph McCabe married Emeline Espy, daughter of James Espy, of Allegheny County, and he resided in Peters Township until 1902, when he removed to Castle Shannon, Allegheny County. His wife died July 26, 1904. Their children were: Sarah M., who married J. M. McMurray; Frances, who married Frank Phillips; Laura B., who married Walter Wedemeyer; Mary B., who married Samuel Fife; Josephine, who married Howard Kerr; John S., who resides in Allegheny County; and Annie C., who is the wife of Robert E. Orr.
In November, 1888, Robert E. Orr was married to Miss Annie C. McCabe, and they have three daughters and one son: Emma, who is a popular teacher in Nottingham Township; and Mary B., William H., and Sarah J., all of whom live at home. Mr. Orr and family are members of the Center Presbyterian Church of Peters Township, in which he has been an elder for five years. In his political views, Mr. Orr is a Republican. He is recognized as one of the representative citizens of Peters Township.
