General Notes: Husband - James McElhiney

He was a contractor and builder, and settled at Franklin, PA, in 1864 and from that time to the end of his active years commanded a profitable patronage as such in Franklin and all that section of the State, putting up some of the principal buildings constructed in his time. Some of the oldest brick buildings there were erected by him and his brother Samuel McElhiney, with whom he worked in partnership for many years, including the old Lamberton Bank, the old Union schoolhouse, and First, Second and Third ward schoolhouses, the Presbyterian Church and the courthouse, as well as the old jail and the old Woodburn building on Thirteenth Street. They also did most of the work on the Tionesta courthouse, Samuel McElhiney doing the brick work and J. W. Brady the wood work. James McElhiney died in Franklin when eighty-three years old. His wife was but sixty at her death, They occupied a fine brick residence on Chestnut Street which he built for his family, and during his last years he lived on Hillside Avenue. He owned several good properties. [CAB, 1003]
