WAS WIDELY KNOWN
James Sheehan, Who Recently Passed Away in Seattle
James Sheehan, proprietor of the Grand Union hotel in Seattle, Wash., whose death took place in the city named on November 20, a brief notice of which appeared in the columns of the Irish Standard last week, was not only well known in Minneapolis where he had lived for a number of years, but had many acquaintances throughout the Northwest, all of whom sincerely regret to hear of his demise. About two months ago he was taken seriously ill with ptomaine poisoning and was conveyed to the Pacific Hospital in Seattle, where he gradually recovered until he was able to return to his home. Soon after this a change came upon him and with the coming of this change death followed within a few days. The funeral was held from St. Joseph's church, that city, on November 22d, internment taking place in Calvary cemetery.

James Sheehan was born in Boherboy, County Cork, Ireland in 1847, and was 62 years of age. He came to this country at an early age and his young manhood was spent in Minnesota. After almost a quarter of a century ago he left Minneapolis for Seattle, where he soon after embarked in business meeting with great success. In the early '90s Mr. Sheehan visited Ireland and was married while there. His wife died in Seattle about five years ago. Four children, two boys and two girls survive him, together with one brother, Jerry of Rochester, this state. While living in Minneapolis he was engaged with his brother, William J. Sheehan, in business. The latter died here in February 1907.

The subject of this sketch bore a very striking resemblence to the Irish patriot, Michael Davitt, and was often taken for him. Like Mr. Davitt, he had also lost an arm. Frank in his manner, genial and kind, he was a man of many noble qualities of both mind and heart. Peace be to him.

Scottdale, December 21. Jacob S. Loucks, a pioneer resident of Scottdale
and one of its foremost citizens, died at 8 o'clock this morning at his
home, 115 Walnut street, following a lingering illness. A fall which he
suffered some three weeks ago was a contributing cause. Mr. Loucks had been
in failing health for some months past.
During an active life, Mr. Loucks was largely instrumental in making
Scottdale the busy community it is. He was also an active member of the
Mennonite Church, and it was largely through his efforts that the Mennonite
Publishing House, which through the medium of 17 weekly publications carries
the gospel of the creed to all parts of the world, was brought to Scottdale.
He took an active part in the affairs of the local congregation and
contributed generously toward the construction of its church.
Mr. Loucks was interested in the company which erected the Old Meadow
rolling mill, now owned by the American Sheet & Tin Plate Company, as well
as in other prosperous enterprises. He was for a number of years associated
with Albert Keister in the flour and feed business. For years he has been a
director of the First National Bank.
He was born on the old Loucks homestead in East Huntington township on
October 20, 1829. The Loucks family was among was among the earliest to
locate in that neighborhood. His early days were spent on the farm and his
education gained in the rural schools. His early life was that of a farmer.
He was not only a good farmer, but a good business man, and accumulated
considerable property. He was generally regarded as one of Scottdale's
wealthiest residents, but this fact did not prevent him from being held in
the highest esteem by his neighbors and friends.
"He was a mighty fine old man." Was the tribute paid by an acquaintance,
when told of his death.
Mr. Loucks lived in the old homestead which occupied a large tract of land
along Broadway, just south of the general offices of the H. C. Frick Coke
Company. In addition to his home he owned many other properties in and
around Scottdale.
The funeral will be held from the Mennonite Church on Market Street at
1:30 Sunday afternoon, with interment in the Alverton cemetery.
Mr. Loucks' wife died several years ago. He is survived by the
following children: David S., Joseph R., John R., Aaron, Abraham R., George
S., Martin R. Loucks, Mrs. A.. D. Martin of Greencastle, Pa.., and Mrs. C.
A. Brilhart of Scottdale. He is also survived by two brothers, M. S., and
A. S. Loucks, and a sister, Miss Annie Loucks, all of Scottdale.

Man Who Gave H. C. Frick His Start Succumbs at the age of 81

BAD HIT BY PANIC OF '73

Lost His Valuable Coal Holdings, But Later Makes Good in Transac-
tions In coal Lands; Organized Many Companies in This Section.

Abram Overholt Tinstman, pioneer coke operator of the Connellsville
region and famous throughout this section as the man who gave H. C. Frick
his start in life, died yesterday at his home in Turtle Creed as the result
of an attack of pneumonia. Mr. Tinstman was 81 years old. Mr. Tinstman was
widely known among the older residents of Connellsville, having been one of
the charter members of King Solomon Lodge of Masons. His last visit here
was in December of last year, when he attended the anniversary celebration
of King Solomon.............................
Although engaged in the coke business for only 15 years, Mr. Tinstman
gained wide prominence. For the past 30 years he had been engaged in the
buying and selling of coal properties. It was his initial venture, however,
that stamped his name indelibly upon the history of the Connellsville coke
region.
Mr. Tinstman was born in East Huntington township, Westmoreland county
on September 13, 1864. He was educated in the common schools of his
district and proposed following the time-honored occupation of a farmer. To
this end, at the age of 25 years, he was found on the farm at Broad Ford
owned by his grandfather, A. Overholt. At that time the coke industry was
being born. James Cochran was meeting with some success in his operations
near Dawson, and Mr. Tinstman had a vision of the future of the business.
In 1865 with Joseph Rist of Pittsburg, he purchased 600 acres of
Connellsville coking coal in what later became known as the Morgan valley,
and which for many years was the real center of the coke region. Tinstman,
Rist and A. S. M. Morgan, also of Pittsburg, organized the firm of Morgan &
Company and erected 111 ovens. In 1871 Mr. Tinstman also organized the
Mount Pleasant & Broad Ford Railroad Company which he sold six years later
and which eventually was taken over by the Baltimore & Ohio.
It was in 1871 that Henry C. Frick went to work for A. Overholt as a
bookkeeper. When Tinstman and Rist, Broad Ford and 100 at Mount Pleasant
reorganized their coke company, Frick took some stock and the firm was known
as H. C. Frick & company. The company purchased 200 ovens at .....ant.
In 1873 the panic seriously affected the new-born industry. Mr. Tinstman
was particularly hard-hit. He endeavored to weather the storm, but by 1876
he had lost everything.
Defeated, but not discouraged, he endeavored to come back and this he
did a year after his failure. In 1877 he had obtained an option on 3,500
acres of Connellsville coal, which he sold at a handsome profit. In 1880 he
established the firm of A. O. Tinstman in Pittsburg and in 1881 purchased
both the Mount Braddock and Pennsville coke companies. A few years later he
disposed of all his holdings and since that time had been engaged in buying
and selling coal lands, until he retired from active business.
In 1875 Mr. Tinstman married Miss Harriet C. Markle, youngest daughter of
Gen. Cyrus Markle of Mill Grove, Westmoreland county. Mr. Tinstman, with
several other residents of Turtle Creek, organized the First Presbyterian
Church of Turtle Creek in 1875. He was a councilman in Turtle Creek for
10 years and was active in the affairs of the town until his death.
Besides his widow Mr. Tinstman leaves one son, Cyrus P. M. Tinstman of
Turtle Creek; one sister, Mrs. Anna Leasure of Greensburg, and two brothers,
J. O. Tinstman of Scottdale and C. S. O. Tinstman of Wilkinsburg.
