General Notes: Husband - Moses P. Walsh


He was born on the old family homestead, on Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh. He received his education in the private and public schools there. When but a young man he went to Arkansas, thinking he might like the country and locate there, but after a few months returned and formed a partnership with his brother Richard E. and engaged in the grocery trade, buying out the stand of Thomas Geoghegon in South Pittsburgh, where he operated for fifty years, doing a prosperous business. All the business transacted by these two brothers in all that long period of time was in company; they were indeed true partners and the firm was known as M. and R. Walsh. When they retired they had been in business for a greater period than any firm in Pittsburgh. They accumulated much valuable property in what became included in greater Pittsburgh. They built many residences on Mount Washington and the South Side. In 1859 they purchased one of the most valuable tracts of land, consisting of forty-five-acres, in what became Crafton, and there erected in 1868 two of the handsomest residences in that section of the county, in which they both lived side by side until the brother, with whom he had been associated so many years, was called from earth. The attachment which grew up between these two brothers was something of an exceptional nature and observed by the entire community.
Politically Mr. Walsh was of the old line Jefferson type of Democracy. He served as burgess of Monongahela and was a justice of the peace for five years. He was a member and devoted to the interests of St. Philip's Roman Catholic church at Crafton. At the time of the dedication of old St. Philip's church at Crafton in 1839, by Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick, of Philadelphia, he was an altar boy.
