General Notes: Husband - Malcolm McConnell


He attended the schools of New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and worked with his father, learning the millwright's trade. In 1873, which was the last year that he spent in the mill, he became a student in the law office of Col. R. B. McComb, and was admitted to the bar of the State of Pennsylvania, Dec. 14, 1874. He thereupon associated himself with Mr. McComb for one year, and in October, 1876, he became a partner of John McMichael, and for eight years practiced law with him. Mr. McMichael having been elected judge of the district, Mr. McConnell thereafter practiced alone. He was a stanch Republican, and served as district attorney for three years. Not confining his energies to his profession, but branching out in other directions, he was a large owner of real estate. He built a fine home on Neshannock Avenue, and in company with P. J. Watson purchased the H. C. Falls estate of 126 acres, and resided there; the greater part of it having been laid out in lots.

He represented his district two terms in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
