The famous Lamplighter was also brought out by Captain Brown. His colors, cherry and green, are seen on all the prominent race courses of the country. The late William C. Whitney was one of his closest friends and looked to him for counsel and advice in matters of the turf.
Recently Captain Brown obtained control of the property of the Kentucky Racing Association at Lexington, Ky., and the sport is to be revived there soon under his magic hand. He is also a stockholder in the Saratoga race track with August and Perry Belmont, James R. Keene and J. B. Haggin, who are all his close friends. In fact, this quintet is considered the foremost in racing circles. Captain Brown was never known to bet much on races, devoting his time to pleasure, but his horses have won many large stakes."
THOMAS BENTON WILGUS .- April 12, 1846, in the little hamlet of Cooks- town, now the flourishing borough of Fayette City, T. B. Wilgus first saw the light of day. While he was yet small, his parents moved to Brownsville where he was educated. After he had finished his school work, he com- menced clerking on steamboats on the Monongahela, Ohio, Mississippi and other rivers. His first positions were on the "Franklin" and "Telegraph,"
217
Thomas Benton Wilgus
on the Monongahela River. In 18644 he was clerk on the steamer " Mereu- ry" which was then in the government service carrying troops and com- missary stores, on the Cumberland River, to Gen. Geo. H. Thomas who was then stationed at Nashville, Tennessee. After the war closed he came north but continued steamboating on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers till 1869, when he left the river and went into the mercantile business.
In 1870 Mr. Wilgus married Bessie M., daughter of Jerman Jordan, Esq. To them were born, Maud (deceased), Blanche and Frances. The latter is a young lady now in school and Blanche is the wife of George Stevenson. They reside in East End, Pittsburg.
Mr. Wilgus was engaged in the mercantile business in Brownsville, Indiana, (Pa.), and in Pittsburg.
Mr. Wilgus became interested in mining property in Colorado, in the neighborhood of Denver and Leadville in 1879, and about a year later sold out his interest for $50,000. In 1881 he returned to Pittsburg and entered the oil exchange, of which he was an active broker till 1885. For six years following this he was proprietor of the Hotel Wilgus at Monongahela City.
Always an active student, Mr. Wilgus early formed a liking for the study of law and in 1896, finding himself with time and means to follow his fancy, he took a course of law in the West Virginia University at Morgantown , to which city he had removed some years before and where he still resides. In this, like everything else that he undertook, he met with success, passed the examination, and was admitted to practice in the local and supreme courts of West Virginia. He has been an active member of the 1. O. O. F. since 1867 and of the Masonic fraternity (Knights Templar) since 1879.
PERSIVAL PHILLIPS, one of the young men of whom Brownsville may well feel proud, is a son of H. S. and Anna C. (Miller) Phillips and was born in Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, July 2, 1877, and received his carly education in the Brownsville public schools.
In the spring of 1890 at about the age of thirteen years, he went to Pitts- burg and that fall entered the Forbes Street School and the next summer passed the examination for the high school. However, in the fall of 1891 he entered the law office of Knox & Reed as office boy, where he also learned stenography and typewriting. He remained with Knox & Reed for two years when he accepted a position with a South Side firm as stenographer and typewriter. Shortly after entering upon his duties in his new position he became sick and was forced to resign and come home.
Some time during the winter of 1895 he entered the office of George W. Lenhart as clerk and during the coal strike in the following spring he reported the strike for the Pittsburg Press, and showed such unmistakable signs of reportorial ability that his services were soon sought by other newspapers. His reports of the riots in Stickle Hollow were clever pieces of work and were appreciated by the Pittsburg papers.
In August of the same year the late veteran editor of the Monongahela Daily Republican, Col. Chill Hazzard, sent for young Phillips and induced
248
Persival Phillips
him to take charge of his paper during the following fall and winter. In the spring of 1897 he went to Pittsburg and accepted a position on the Pittsburg Times. When the war broke out between Greece and Turkey he was sent by the Pittsburg Press and other papers as war correspondent, to the far- off East. His work in that field showed him master of the situation and his reports were highly appreciated. At the close of hostilities there, he re- turned to Pittsburg and took a position on the Pittsburg Post where he re- mained for about two years, afterwards accepting a position on the Dispatch. In the fall of 1900 he was sent to New York by the Dispatch to take charge of the New York branch of that paper. The next spring he was recalled to take the position of city editor of the Dispatch.
About the 1st of October, 1902, he resigned his position on the Dispatch to accept a position on the London, England, Daily Express. His services were so satisfactory that when hostilities commenced between the Japanese and Russians in the far East, he was selected to take the position of war correspondent and January 1, 1904, he was sent to Japan where he is now reporting the progress of the war to the entire satisfaction of his paper and the ever-interested public.
Mr. Phillips has won his way to eminence in newspaper work solely on his merits and faithfulness and without any outside influences and it is safe to predict for him a brilliant future.
ALEXANDER MOFFITT, who resides now in Elkins, West Virginia, is a native of Washington County having been born there July 6, 1828. He is a son of William and Elizabeth (Hopkins) Moffitt who were also natives of Washington County, Pa.
Mr. Moffitt came to Bridgeport about the year 1850 and commenced busi- ness in the old Arcade paper mill on Water Street, where the Eclipse Mills now stand. Mr. Moffitt continued in there for two years when he bought the old cotton factory and fitted it up for carriage making and called it The Monongahela Carriage Works. He also bought five adjoining lots and built residences on them as well as a large paint and trimming building, and a blacksmith shop on High Street then known as Morgantown Street. He fitted out the old cotton factory with all the best and latest machinery then known for the business. Here he built carriages and other vehicles from the raw material, every particle of the work being done in the shops. He furnished many wagons for the govern- inent for transporting goods. In 1858 he rented or leased the business to his brother James Moffitt and Samuel Thompson, who run it till 1864. Mr. Moffitt served his country during the entire war.
About 1865 he again embarked in the carriage business, his brother and Thompson retiring. He put in a heavy stock of raw material and had many vehicles finished for the market when the plant burned to the ground, June 30, 1866, as well as four of his dwelling houses, the saw mill and many logs. It may not be out of order here to mention the fact that during the latter
219
Alexander Moffitt
part of the war Samuel Thompson and James Moffitt having dissolved part- nership, Mr. Thompson ran the plant as a stillhouse.
Mr. Moffitt sold out all his interests in Bridgeport some years ago, and went to Washington, D. C., where he lived until about three years ago, then moving to Elkins, West Virginia, where he now resides.
REV. CHARLES ARMSTEAD MCGEE was born in Harrison County, West Virginia, January 27, 1852, and not having the advantage of even the com- mon schools, is therefore a self-educated man. He worked on the farm while educating himself and in 1885 entered the ministry of the A. M. E. Church.
Since then he has served the following charges: Parkersburg, West Virginia three years; Monongahela, Pa., one year; Presiding Ekler of the Wheeling, West Virginia, district, three years; Scranton, Pa., four years; Bradford, Pa., one year; Bridgeport, Pa., one year and four months, when he was again elected Presiding Elder of the Wheeling, West Virginia, district, which position he occupies at present.
While pastor in Bridgeport, he was twice elected a member of the school board, and was a faithful and efficient officer.
In 1890 Rev. McGee married Miss Gay Ankrum, a daughter of Charles and Antoinette (Webb) Ankrum, and to this union there have been born six children, Antoinette, Lewis, Grace, Ruth, Charles, and Richard McGee.
