R. C. CRAWFORD

R. C. Crawford
[] –[]

Those who study the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club have long puzzled over the identity of a man who was listed as a member by the name of “A C Crawford”. There has not been enough evidence to determine what the “A C” stands for and thus who “A C Crawford” may have been. Indeed, one wag has created an entirely mythic “A C Crawford” complete with photography that was for a time available to be read on the internet. This having been said, the likelihood is that the A in “A C Crawford” is a typo.

R C Crawford was the owner of Crawford Coke and Coal of Leckrone, PA. in Fayette County, in the Pittsburgh metro area. Chartered on April 12, 1865 Crawford Coal Company, the charter and list of subscribers of the company are available as record group 26. RG-26, Records of the DEPARTMENT OF STATE.

R C Crawford was a fine looking gentleman, and (like H C Frick) thought of as a Pittsburgher even though his base of operations was the coke fields of the Connellsville region. His Pittsburgh office was in the House Building.

A photo and caricature of R C Crawford can be seen in the book, Our friends: how we caricature them; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Newspaper Cartoonists of Pittsburgh, 1916.; which is to be found at this website:

Reinhart, general auditor of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad.

AMERICUS V. HOLMES

AMERICUS VESPUCIUS HOLMES
March 16, 1847 - []

Americus Vespucius Holmes, capitalist banker, was born March 16, 1847 in the present downtown district of Pittsburgh, on Marberry Street which became Second Street. His parents were Dr. Shepley Ross Holmes and Mary Skelton. Mr. Holmes came from one of the oldest Pittsburgh pioneer families. His father was a distinguished physician who also stood high in Masonic circles.

Americus V. Holmes as a boy attended the Second Ward public school where J. B. Meades was principal. In 1863 and 1864 he attended Col Hyatt’s Military Academy at West-Chester. For one year he was a student in the Iron City College.

In 1868 Mr. Holmes came of age and at once took charge of the Holmes family’s important real estate holdings in Pittsburgh including a business block at 226 Fifth Avenue.

Although young when taking full charge of business affairs, Mr. Holmes was unusually well prepared for this responsible position. His home training was of the best. Both father and mother from his earliest boyhood taught him habits of industry and honesty. On account of his high standing in the Masonic fraternity, Mr. Holmes as a youth associated much with men of affairs. Being naturally of a receptive and inquiring turn of mind he early familiarized himself with business matters and by training to be successful in business than many men double his age.

At the time Mr. Holmes took charge of the Holmes properties he opened an office at 226 Fifth Avenue and remained established there throughout his business career. Not content with looking after his personal property Mr. Holmes’ keen and active mind compelled him to seek other channels of endeavor. Soon he became interested in banking. He commanded the attention of the banking institutions of Pittsburgh and Mr. Holmes was elected vice president and first trustee of Dollar Savings Bank and a director in the Anchor Savings Bank.

His wife was the former Catherine “Cassie” A. Cain of Philadelphia PA. They were married April 22, 1880.

Although the census enumerator was very poor in spelling, the family can be found in the 1880 census. The census must have been taken later in the year that they were married. Their household included:

Americus V. Holmes, age 33

Cassie Holmes, age 22

Francis B Nimick, age 39, brother-in-law (traveling salesman)

Caroline H. Childs, age 12, neice

William H. Childs, age 19, nephew (collegian)

George P. Balmaine, age 35, Nephew-in-law (purchaser for stationery house)

Margaret A. Balmaine, age 35, neice

Their home was in the 22nd ward, Pittsburgh. Near neighbors include newspaper editor Thomas Link, dry goods merchant Charles Arbuthnot, attorney William Frew, and members of the Holmes, Howe and Childs families Newspaper editor Eugene O'Neil is about six houses away.

SFF&HC member Aaron French a few doors beyond. As are the Woodwells and SFF&HC member Frank Laughlin.

Note about Franis B. Nimick, he was married to Eleanor Howard Howe, the daughter of Thomas Marshall Howe and Mary Ann Howe. Elenaor's sister Clara married James W. Brown of the SFF&HC. Eleanor's half-sister Mary Howard Howe married Col. James Henry Childs.

Thus Americus V. Holmes was the half-uncle of Adelaide Childs Frick.

A. V. Holmes looked somewhat like present-day film critic Gene Shallot, with big eyes and a larger handlebar moustache.

GEORGE FRANKLIN HUFF

George Franklin Huff

July 16, 1842 - April 18, 1912

George Franklin Huff, son of George and Caroline Boyer-Huff and George Huff IV is widely known as one of the most enterprising and public spirited men in Westmoreland county, and is closely identified with nearly all of its many industrial and financial enterprises. When four years of age he accompanied his parents to Middletown, where he attended the public schools until 1851, when his parents moved to Altoona. There he attended the public schools until seventeen years of age, when he entered the car shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Altoona and learned the car finisher's trade. So faithful and true to every duty was he that three years later he was, without soliciation on his part, highly recommended by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to a banking house in Altoona, that of William M. Lloyd and Company. He accepted the position and in 1865 his employer sent him to Ebensburg to establish a bank there. He succeeded remarkably well and a year later was re-called to Altoona.

In 1867 he removed to Greensburg, where he established the banking house of Lloyd, Huff and Company, know as the Greensburg Deposit Bank, and having branches at Latrobe, Irwin, Mount Pleasant and Ligonier. The panic of 1873 caused these several institutions to go out of business, but their property paid their full indebtedness with interest.

In 1871 Mr. Huff establishsed the Farmers' National Bank of Greensburg with a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars. He was its first president and remained as such until 1874, when he became the active manager of the house as its cashier under General Richard Coulter as president. By Act of Congress the bank was reorganized as the Fifth National Bank of Pittsburgh, Mr. Huff being elected its vice-president, which position he held until 1876, when he resigned.

In 1874 he, with others, organized the Greensburgh Banking Company, which soon became a leader in the rural banking business of Western Pennsylvania. He was cashier of this bank until 1887, during which time through his untiring efforts and business sagacity, a very large volume of business was secured. In 1881 the First National Bank of Greensburg was chartered, and Mr. Huff became one of its most potent directors, which position he still retains. Since then the First National Bank has absorbed the Greensburg Banking Company, and has now a larger deposit and surplus than any other institution in the county.

Mr. Huff also became largely intereted in coal and coke industry of Westmoreland county. He was the prime mover in organizing the Greensburg Coal Company, the Alexandria Coal Company, Mountain Coal Company, the Argyle Coal Company, the United Coal and Coke Company, the Mutual Mining and Manufacturing Company, the Manor Gas Coal Company, the Madison Coal Company, the Salem Coal Company, the Latrobe Coal Company, Carbon Coal Company, and several others.

Most of these companies were since consolidated in the Keystone Coal and Coke Company, of which Mr. Huff is president. It and the companies with which he is connected, employ about 7,500 men an produce now in the neighborhood of six millions of tons of coal per year, or twenty thousand tons per day. He was also one of the organizers of the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the main line of which passes through the Connellsville coking coal region, he being its treasurer until the offices were removed to Philadelphia. He was one of the founders of the Greensburg Electric Street Railway Company, the Greensburg Fuel (artificial and natural gas) Company, and the Greensburg Steel Company. He was formerly president of the Greensburg Electric Light and the Westmoreland Water Companies.

The development of the Jeannette natural gas region also felt his potency as well as the general upbuilding of that sprightly town. He donated seven acres of valuable land for manufacturing purposes at Burrell, a Station near Greensburg. The thriving towns of Youngwood, Southwest Greensburg, and other outlying sections of Greensburg were laid out largely by his efforts, and he has always been financially interested in the Kelly & Jones Company and its various improvements. He is also a director of the American Surety and Trust Company of Washington, D. C., the President of the Westmoreland Hospital Association, and is further interested in coal companies outside of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company in nearly every section of the bituminous region in Pennsylvania.

Adjoining Greensburg he has a large landed estate containing about 500 acres, upon which the family residence is built. It consists of highly cultivated farm land and original forest, all of which is beautified by a system of landscape gardening and parks ; and through the entire farm there are winding driveways of over four miles in length, which are kept up by Mr. Huff and are at all times thrown open for the public to enjoy. Mr. Huff is a progressive Republican. His political career began in 1880 when, as a member of the Chicago Republican Convention, he was one of the 306 who supported Geneal U. S. Grant for a third term as President. In 1884 he was a candidate for the office of State Senator in the Thirty-ninth Senatorial District, composed of the County of Westmoreland. He was elected by a majority of seven hundred although the county had for long years been regarded as the Democratic stronghold of the West. Since then the county has been generally Republican.

In 1888 Mr. Huff was nominated for Congress by the Republicans of Westmoreland county, but another was selected under the conferee system. In 1890 he was chosen as Congressional candidate by the Republicans in the district and elected by a large majority, representing the counties of Westmoreland, Indiana, Armstrong and Jefferson. He served in Congress until 1893, and in 1894 was elected Congressman-at-Large from Pennsylvania. In 1902, 1904, and 1906 he was returned to Congress, and now represents the counties of Westmorland and Butler. During his service in the National House of Representatives, Mr. Huff has proved his ability to well represent the large and varied interest of his constituents, and no member of Congress from the Commonwealth stands higher than he. He is now prominently mentionee as a candidte for the Governorship in 1906.

On March 16, 1871, Mr. Huff was united in marriage with Henrietta Burrell, a daughter of the late Jeremiah M. Burrell, twice President Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania, and later United States District Judge for the Territory of Kansas. Judge Burrell died at Greensburg, October 21, 1856. (See Sketch of Judge Burrell in that part of the first volume of this series relative to the Westmoreland Bench).

Mr. and Mrs. Huff are the parents of eight children, four of whom are living, namely, Lloyd Burrell, Julian Burrell, Carolyn Burrell and Burrell Richardson.

Oliver McClintock, Walter L. McClintock and Frank T.McClintock

McClintock Family

The McClintock family is extensive and three of its members belonged to the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. This will offer a brief overview of the family and the Club members, Frank Thompson McClintock, Oliver McClintock, and Walter L. McClintock – all three were associated with Oliver McClintock and Company, a mercantile house who made their fortune selling uniforms to the Union Army. Walter L. McClintock was a charter member of the Club.

* * *

Samuel Thompson, the maternal grandfather of Oliver McClintock and his brothers, made uniforms for the soldiers in the war of 1812. Shortly after 1830, Samuel Thompson who by that time conducted a dry goods business specializing in carpet, in Pittsburgh bought, from SFF&HC member Henry Holdship, a property at the corner of Liberty and Market where the succeeding McClintock business continued throughout the 1800s.

In 1837 the firm of Samuel Thompson was succeeded by the firm of W. McClintock & Company, headed by Washington McClintock, who was Thompson’s son-in-law, in partnership with Thompson’s son, Robert D. Thompson. In 1854 Washington admitted his brothers Alexander and George Ledlie McClintock into the business, assuming the name McClintock Brothers. In 1855 the name reverted to W. McClintock and it remained that until seven years later when having bought out their chief competition in the carpeting business, it was reorganized as Oliver McClintock & Company, the partners being Washington, Oliver and George (Sr.) McClintock.

Walter Lowrie McClintock – the second son of Washington McClintock – was admitted to the firm in 1864.

Washington McClintock died July 8 1870.

Washington McClintock’s fourth son, Thompson McClintock was admitted to the business in 1874; and Frank Thompson McClintock, the fifth son of the founder was admitted in 1884 upon the retirement of George (Sr).

After the flood, in 1897, the firm was dissolved and renamed the Oliver McClintock Company.

The three McClintock brothers who were members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club are:

Oliver McClintock
October 20, 1839 - ?

Oliver McClintock was the eldest of seven children of Washington and Ella Thompson McClintock. He graduated from Yale in 1861. He served as corporal in Pennsylvanian Company D 15th Emergency Pennsylvania Militia, which saw action during both of Robert E Lee’s invasions of Pennsylvania. .

Oliver McClintock served as the president of the YMCA, as an elder in Second Presbyterian Church, as trustee of the Western Theological Seminary, He and his brother in law A H Childs were founders of Shady Side Academy. Director of the chamber of commerce, member of the Duquesne club (and the University Club of New York).

Oliver McClintock married on June 7, 1866, Clara Courtney Childs the daughter of Harvey and Jane Bailey Lowrie Childs. Their children:

- Norman McClintock (June 13, 1868-); Yale 1891; married Ethel Lockwood in 1906 (born circa 1845 in Massachusetts). In 1900, single and still living with his parents, Norman was enumerated as a bookkeeper. In 1910, 1920 and 1930, Norman, Ethel and family were living in Pittsburgh, Ward 7, Pennsylvania, where Norman was listed in the rugs and carpet business in 1910 (page 13B); enumerated as a lecturer in natural history in 1920 (page 6A), and as a university teacher (University of Pittsburgh) in 1930 (page 17A). Norman's field was ornithology—typing his name into your search engine will bring up some of his studies. For example...
From the Wilson Bulletin, March 1926 (Cincinnati). . .Mr. Norman McClintock, the well-known cinematographic photographer of birds and animals, has recently been added to the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh. It is the University's purpose to make Mr. McClintock's lectures available to the general public. . .Also with the family in 1910, 1920 and 1930 was Ethel's mother, Ellen Lockwood, born circa 1845 in Massachusetts. Children of Norman and Ethel known from the federal censuses (all born in Pennsylvania): (1) Eleanor L. McClintock born circa 1907; (2) Oliver McClintock, born circa 1908; (3) Henry McClintock, born circa 1916; and Emma McClintock, born circa 1918.

- Walter McClintock (April 2, 1870-); graduated from Yale in 1891; Walter did not marry. In 1900, Walter, single was living with his parents and enumerated as a manager of a ?tile company. In 1910 and 1920, single and with his parents, Walter was listed as an ethnologist. In 1930, single, living next to his brother Norman and family in Pittsburgh, Walter was enumerated as a lecturer and writer of ethnology. Walter was an early historian and ethnologist, who lectured at the University of Pittsburgh. He was an internationally acclaimed authority on the culture of Blackfoot society. He lived amongst the Blackfeet for several years and wrote extensively on their culture. Probably his most valuable and best known work is Walter McClintock, The Old North Trail or Life, Legends and Religion on the Blackfeet Indians (London: MacMillan and Co., 1910). The book (in paperback) is still available from book dealers, and there is an online version: (http://www.1st-hand-history.org/ONT/album1.html). Walter dedicated the book "To My Father whose interest and encouragement have been unfailing, the book is affectionately dedicated." In the Preface, Walter acknowledges his brother Norman for assistance in photographic matters and identification of birds. In the front matter is the often-reproduced painting The Sentinel: see (http://www.1st-hand-history.org/ONT/ONT00002i.jpg). The following from Browning Newspaper Notes 1948 - 1949 (http://prairiemary.blogspot.com/2005/05/browning-newspaper-notes-1948-1949.html):
April 8, 1949McClintock, Author, Dies in Pittsburgh; Indian Historian Writing to Claude Schaffer, curator of the Museum of the Plains Indian, John Ewers, former curator of the institution and now in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. said that Walter McClintock, author of “The Old North Trail,” died recently at his home in Pittsburgh, Pa. Mr. McClintock continued hale and hearty in his advanced years and made his last visit to Browning last summer. “The Old North Trail” is one of the popular and authentic pieces of historic literature dealing with the Blackfeet Indians, the author spending a number of years in research in creating it. He was a likeable personality and for many years had continued his occasional visit to this section.

- Emma Childs McClintock (Sept 25, 1874-); Mrs. Thomas Darling of Wilkes Barre, PA. Four children: Thomas, Edward, Clara and Elsie. Thomas Darling; born circa 1864 in Pennsylvania. The family lived in Wilkes-Barre, Ward 7, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, where Thomas was enumerated as a lawyer in 1920 (page 8B). Thomas had died by 1930, when Emma was listed as a widow, still living in Wilkes-Barre (page 16B). Children known from the 1920 and 1930 federal censuses (all born in Pennsylvania): (a) Thomas Darling, born circa 1904; (b) Edward Darling, born circa 1906; (c) Clara C.

The family lived in Milford, Oakland County, Michigan in 1920 (page 3A), when Frank was listed as a banker, investment; in 1930 the family was in Novi Township, Oakland County, where Frank was listed as a broker, stock and bonds. Children known from the federal censuses (both born in Michigan): (a) Jeannette Nicol, born circa 1919; and (b) Clara C. Nicol. A family member has helped clarify this line for me (in "comments"), as follows...
