DR. JAMES E. HUEY (deceased) was born in McKeesport, May 9, 1823, a son of George and Maria (Evans) Huey. His paternal grandfather, Samuel Huey, a native of Ireland, settled in McKeesport in 1804, and was a prominent physician in his day. George, father of James E., born in the United States in 1789, was a physician of prominence, and practiced his profession in McKeesport all his life. James E. Huey graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1846, and practiced his profession in McKeesport until his death, in 1878. He never took part in political affairs, but was public spirited, and was interested in all matters tending toward the growth and development of his native town. He married, in 1842, Isabella, daughter of John and Catherine (Gordon) Frich, of Somerset, Pa., and had eight children, of whom three survive: James, Anna M. (Mrs. J. P. Coursin) and Rosalind W., the latter of whom married, in 1877, D. George, son of Henry and Ruth (Hill) Becket, of Wolverhampton, England. Mr. Becket was reared and educated in his native town, came to America in 1872 and settled in McKeesport in 1875, where he has since been in the employ of the National Tube-works company. He is a member of the K. of H. and Heptasophs; in politics a republican. Mr. and Mrs. Becket have one son, Charles F., and both are members of the Episcopal Church.
