ELIAS J. UNGER

Elias J Unger
1830 – September 29, 1896

Elias J. Unger was born in Dauphin County, PA, in 1830 or 1831, the son of David B. Unger and Catherina Eisenhower...

As many have said, the title “Colonel” was not one that Unger had earned, but rather one that he had appropriated somewhere along the way.

For a while, Unger was an employee of different jobs for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was later the manager of the Seventh Avenue Hotel in Pittsburgh.

The Morning Tribune, Altoona, Saturday, December 6, 1879:

“Mr. Tyler to Take Charge of the Mountain House: Colonel E. J. Unger, proprietor of the Pittsburgh Seventh Avenue Hotel and Superintendent of the Mansion House, the popular summer resort of the Keystone Hotel Company at Cresson, has resigned the latter office after a service covering several seasons. Mr. W. D. Tyler, Superintendent of the Logan House in this city, will have charge of the Mansion House hereafter. Colonel Unger will retain his position as Superintendent of the Union depot restaurant in Pittsburgh. His resignation has been in the hands of the company for a long while back, and was caused by his desire to devote his entire attention to his own hotel. Colonel Unger was in the city at the Logan House last evening, accompanied by Mrs. Unger, and the arrangements have been completed for the transfer of the hotel to Mr. Tyler, under whose management it cannot fail to retain its well known reputation.”

In 1887, Unger was listed on the board of directors of the Woodruff Sleeping and Parlor Coach Co. board of directors. In 1888 he had become involved in the Keokuk Scientific Society in Iowa (geological exploration). Unger was a director of the Pittsburgh Exposition Society along with other SFF&HC members SS Marvin and Robert Pitcairn:

Most chroniclers of the flood say that Unger was a retired hotel proprietor. However in so far as he was the president of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club he was not truly retired, but rather had broad ranging responsibility for being the on site manager of the Club both in and out of season.

As stated on the National Flood Memorial site:

“Colonel Elias Unger probably never had a military record. He was, however, the manager of hotels along the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Seventh Avenue Hotel in Pittsburgh. These accomplishments did not get him much notoriety after his death in 1896, but what did was one of the worst disasters in United States history.”

Here is David McCullough on E J Unger:

“When the rains began on the afternoon of Thursday, May 30, 1889, there was only one club member at the lake. He was Colonel E. J. Unger, a retired Pittsburgh hotel proprietor, who was president of the club and lived on a farm along the lakeshore. With him was twenty-three-year-old John Parke, who had been recently hired as a resident engineer. There was also a superintendent of the grounds, and a gang of Italian workmen who had been hired to dig trenches for a new indoor plumbing system. It was a busy time for Colonel Unger. The season was soon to begin, and some two hundred visitors were expected.” (Run for your Lives! American Heritage magazine, June 1966)

The statement of Elias J Unger is available on line at:
http://www.nps.gov/archive/jofl/unger.htm

Unger’ farm is now the main building for the National Flood Memorial and well worth a visit.

Elias J. Unger married Annie C. Steel (born July 26, 1834), in Harrisburg. Annie was the daughter of Israel Steel and Mary R. Geiger (b. October 21, 1814, at Harrisburg; d. January 17, 1848).

Elias J. and Annie C. Steel Unger had one daughter:

- Mary C. Unger (); married George C Wilson the son of William White and Mary Murphy Wilson

“Mr. Wilson married Mary G. Unger, a daughter of Elias J. and Annie C. (Steele) Unger. He has two sons and one daughter: Unger, George and Annye. In politics Mr. Wilson is a Republican. He resides at the corner of Rebecca and Friendship Avenue, East End (302 Friendship Avenue).” (Source: Biographical review; v. 24, containing life sketches of leading citizens of Pittsburg and the vicinity, Pennsylvania, 1897)

The 1880 census lists them thus:

Geo C. WILSON - 28, Lawyer
Mary WILSON - 28, Keeping H

- William WILSON - 2

- Unger WILSON - 1

- George WILSON - 1

(George and Unger must have been twins. What happened to William?)

Their summer home was called “Marlan Farms” in Mifflin, Juniata County, PA.

Elias J Unger is listed as on the church site selection committee for Christ Episcopal Church in 1891…along with C B Shea & Durbin Horne.

Unger died in Harrisburg, PA on September 29, 1896. Some alternative sources say the location was Pittsburgh.

JOHN WEAKLEY CHALFANT

John Weakley Chalfant

December 13, 1827 - December 28, 1898

John Weakley Chalfant, one of Pittsburgh's most prominent business men, was born at Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on December 13, 1827. His father Henry Chalfant came from near Philadelphia in 1827 and settled at Turtle Creek where he purchased a farm. He married Isabella C. Weakley, daughter of Samuel and Hester Weakley of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Ten children were born to this union, of which John W. was the eldest.

Chalfant's parents remained on the property that became the borough of Chalfant in Wilkins. Many Chalfants are buried in Beulah Cemetery (Presbyterian) in Churchill.

John Weakley Chalfant grew to maturity on the home farm, attending the district school which was supplemented by a course in Jefferson College at Cannonsburg. Graduating from that institution in 1850, he entered the employ of Zug & Painter, iron manufacturers of Pittsburgh, where he remained until 1855-56 when he purchased an interest in the firm of Spang & Company, iron manufacturers, an iron and steel manufacturer that was instrumental in the settlement of Etna. In 1858 the firm name was changed to Spang, Chalfant & Company, the firm being composed of Charles H. Spang, John W. Chalfant, Campbell B. Herron, Alexander M. Byers and A. G. Lloyd. George A. Chalfant, a brother of our subject, became a member in 1863.

During the life of John W. Chalfant, he was associated with nearly every enterprise that had for its purpose the upbuilding and the development of the financial, manufacturing and social interests of Pittsburgh and vicinity. He was the promoter and organizer of the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad, also of the Pittsburgh Junction Railroad. He was one of the organizers and was for years president of the People's National Bank. He served as president of the Manufacturers and Merchants Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, and was a director of the People's Savings Bank; Spang, Chalfant & Co.; Isabella Furnace Company; Pittsburgh Locomotive Works; Western Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb; Western Pennsylvania Hospital and Allegheny General Hospital. He was one of the founders and for many years served as the president of the Duquesne Club. When it was decided to hold a sanitary fair in Pittsburgh for the benefit of the soldiers in the field in our Civil War, Mr. Chalfant with two others was sent to Cleveland Ohio to negotiate for buildings that had been used for similar purposes in that city. Upon their arrival they found that, if secured, the bargain must be closed at once, and without waiting to confer with the home mission they assured all the risks and gave their individual notes for ten thousand dollars. This was a large amount for these young men. The project proved a great success and over a quarter of a million was realized.

John W. Chalfant was for many years president of the board of trustees of First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Chalfant was probably the first man in the world to use natural gas for manufacturing purposes. The gas was piped to his iron mills before other manufacturers utilized it.

On May 31, 1860, John W. Chalfant married Miss Ellen Quigley McCrea, daughter of William and Liberty M. McCrea. (William McCrea lived only eight years after his marriage. His widow lived on one of her farms until her death. She and her husband were members of the Beulah Presbyterian Church, which was in sight of their home).

To Mr. and Mrs. Chalfant five children were born, all of whom are living [in 1913]:

(1) (Margaret) Mary Chalfant [McKee] (born Apr. 8, 1861) married George Wilson McKee. Major George McKee, U. S. A., who d. Nov. 30, 1891, while in command of Frankford Arsenal, Penna.

Georgiana Wilson McKee married William B. Blair II; their children:

- Mary Mckee Blair

Note that the Pittsburgh Blue Book of 1904 also has:

John W. Chalfant, Jr. who married Elizabeth Gerry Briggs and had one son Charles Briggs Chalfant--they lived at 129 Lincoln Avenue, Edgewood Park, PA. This must have been a nephew named in his honor.

C A CARPENTER

Casper Augustus ("C. A.") CARPENTER
September 4, 1836 – May 6, 1892

Casper Augustus Carpenter was born in Pennsylvania, as were his parents, James Jackson Carpenter (Feb. 16, 1800 - Feb. 27, 1852) and Eliza McKee (Feb 11, 1808 -Feb 27, 1886). He was one of nine children: Caroline, Albert, Edward, Mary, Harriet, Hannah, Wilson and an earlier "Caspar Augustus" who had died as an infant.

His wife Mary A. Clement was born in Ohio, as were her parents, although there is an indication that her mother may have been born in England. Before her marriage to C A Carpenter, Mary was married to a Mr. Shaw and for a time lived in Sharpsburg, PA.

C. A. Carpenter rose to the position of purchasing agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was also on the founding board of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, founded on July 8, 1876. Also on the board were other SFF&CH Members or family including S S Marvin, T Howe and JK Moreland. Carpenter’s name appears almost endlessly in historic works about Pittsburgh but oddly enough, always and only on lists of those who served on the Chamber of Commerce. Although he must have been proud of that fact, one wonders what else he may have done tht might be worth mentioning.

C. A. Carpenter married Mary A Clement Shaw of Sharpsburg. Their family lived in Sewickley in 1876. In 1880 the C A and Mary Carpenter Household included:

C. A. Carpenter (born Sept. 4, 1837); age 43; PA R R Agent

Mary A. Carpenter (born 1843); age 37; Keeping House

Edwin Stanton Carpenter (born February 16, 1862); age 18; at School (Chester Pa, military school there)

Bessie Lincoln Carpenter (born October 19, 1869); age 11; (Bessie was baptized Feb. 5, 1870 at First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh)

Helen Grant Carpenter (born 1871); age 9; (Helen was baptized on Feb. 1, 1873 at First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh)

Alice I. W. Carpenter (born 1873) age 7;

Anna Clement (born 1819) age 61; mother-in-law (Mary's mother)

From the Social Mirror of 1888:

“Mrs. C. A. Carpenter previous to her present marriage was Mrs. Shaw, of Sharpsburg. Miss Bessie Carpenter the eldest daughter of the house, finished school last June and makes her first bow to society this winter.”

Here it is important to mention that C. A. Carpenter was one of the initial core group of charter members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club.

For the record, the charter members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club were:

R F Ruff; T H Sweat; Charles J Clarke; Thomas Clark; W F Fundenberg; Howard Hartley; H C Yeager; J B White; H C Frick; E A Myers; C C Hussey; D R Ewer; C A Carpenter; W L Dunn; W L McClintock; A V Holmes.

(For a number of years B. F. Ruff served as president and John A Harper as secretary-treasurer.)

C. A. Carpenter was one of the small committee of people who were entrusted with the duty of inspecting the dam in 1880 and who thereafter reported their findings to Benjamin Ruff. This event is chronicled on the Johnstown Flood Museum website, and can be read there.

The officers of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club in 1889, at the time of the Flood, were:

Colonel E. J. Unger, President
Colonel J. J. Lawernec, Vice President
Louis Irwin, Treasurer
E. A. Myers, Secretary

WILLIAM T DUNN

William Thompson Dunn
1825 – [? After 1895]

“William Thompson Dunn, contractor, Allegheny, was born at what was then called Georgetown, Mercer County, PA. In 1825 the son of James and Maria (Thompson) Dunn who were born in Crawford County PA in 1800 and 1802 respectively. His grandfather Alexander Dunn was born in Eastern Pennsylvania, and was for many years a justice of the peace. The maternal grandfather of Mr. Dunn was carried off by Indians while on a survey in Crawford County and held for ransom. The father of William T. Dunn was a carpenter and died in Allegheny in 1874. His wife died in 1865. Both were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. William received his education in the public schools and at Allegheny College, Meadville PA., graduating in 1852. He then went south in 1853 and taught school in Louisiana for three years. Returning in 1856 he in July 1857 began reading law with Judge Wilson McCandless, and in 1860 was admitted to the bar in Pittsburgh where he practiced law until 1867. He then associated with the late Edward Allen, as contractors and builders of sewers, etc. On April 25, 1861, Mr. Dunn was married to Amelia Frances Allen, the daughter of [SFF&HC member] Edward Allen (deceased). Her mother resides with Mr. Dunn. In 1884 Mr. Dunn purchased property at Emsworth, and has a beautiful home. He and family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.”

(Source: History of Allegheny County, 1889).


William T Dunn was associated with the William T. Dunn and Company, which sold building supplies—chiefly terra cotta products such as sewer pipe. They were also cement dealers. Their offices were located at W. T. Dunn Co. 41 Federal Street.

William T Dunn served on the Committee of Public Safety in the aftermath of the Pittsburgh riots (as did Joseph Horne). Dunn served on the board of directors of the Armenia Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, along with SFF&HC member James S McCord. He was named an honorary member of the Hampton Battery Veterans’ Association. William T Dunn was a member of the exclusive Linden Club located on Boulevard Place, as were these SFF&CH members and relations, HC Frick, HP and JL McClintock, AW Mellon, JE Schwartz, Henry K Thaw, and WK Woodwell. Along with many other SFF&CH members, Dunn was also a member of the Sportsmen’s Association of Western Pennsylvania, which may have been the SFF&HC after the Flood (the membership list is from 1895); see the separate posting about the Sportsmen’s Association of Western Pennsylvania elsewhere on this blog.

For the record, the charter members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club were:R F Ruff; T H Sweat; Charles J Clarke; Thomas Clark; W F Fundenberg; Howard Hartley; H C Yeager; J B White; H C Frick; E A Myers; C C Hussey; D R Ewer; C A Carpenter; W L Dunn; W L McClintock; A V Holmes.

Listed in the Pittsburgh and Allegheny Blue Book of 1895, William T. Dunn and his wife Amelia Frances Allen lived at a home called ‘GLEN CRAGIE’ in the East End, which seems to have been owned by their married daughter and her husband, the Moores.

William and Amelia Dunn’s daughter Amelia Marie Dunn married Frank Moore.

From the Social Mirror of 1888: “Mrs. Frank Moore, nee Amelia Dunn, daughter of W. T. Dunn, of Laurel Station, is pretty, bright and entertaining and sings and plays excellently. In instrumental music she took a medal at the Pittsburgh Female College several years ago.” (Page 64) ...Mrs. Frank Moore, of Allegheny, the handsome wife of Mr. Frank MOORE. Moore, cashier of Odd Fellows' Bank, is a finished artist, some of her decorations ranking with the highest” (101)..

One child has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, Amelia Maria, wife of Frank Moore. The children of Amelia and Frank Moore include:

Frank Moore Jr.

The Dunns were among the founding families of Ben Avon in 1891.
