Biography

George Deardorff McCreary served Pennsylvania as a businessman and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, advocating for commerce, veterans, and sound fiscal policy while keeping a close eye on the needs of his community.

He also supported educational and charitable causes, offering both counsel and contributions to institutions that sustained Philadelphia's civic life, and his passing was mourned by the constituents he served with quiet conviction; he was laid to rest at Laurel Hill Cemetery.
