General Notes: Husband - Andrew Conley Taggart


In 1854 he became a half owner in the R. and A. Taggart Company known as the Duquesne Tanning and Leather Business. The destruction of this plant by fire just after its reconstruction following the severe floods in the Allegheny in 1859 led the firm to part with its holdings on Herr's Island to the Callery Brothers.
Andrew then formed the A. C. Taggart Company, manufacturers and dealers in leather, hides and oil, with offices at 79 Diamond St., Pittsburgh. In 1867 he organized the Forest Land and Lumber Company, which was later merged into a general real estate business with J. Crawford Porter as a partner. When John Taggart, his father, was appointed one of the committee to organize the Fourth United Presbyterian Church, Andrew did not sever his connection with the Second Church. He served as an elder under the new pastor, John B. Clark, the fighting parson. After the death of Doctor Clark in January, 1872, Andrew C. Taggart withdrew to connect with the Central United Presbyterian Church and upon the erection of the new Fifth United Presbyterian Church was invited to become an elder in that congregation, an office he filled until his death.
He was an organizer and director of the first Gymnastic Association, organized in Allegheny City, Jan. 18, 1859.
