WILLIAM MARSHALL AIKIN, one of the old and highly respected citizens of Canonsburg, has been a life- long resident of Washington County, where for many years he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. Mr. Aikin was born on a farm near Bulger, in Smith Town- ship, in 1832, and is a son of William and Margaret (Marshall) Aikin, natives of Smith and Cross Creek Townships, Washington County.
William Marshall, the maternal grandfather of Will- iam M. Aikin, came to Washington County when a mere boy and was once captured by the Indians but later was returned to his home. The grandfather on the paternal side was Joseph Aikin, and he resided near Bulger, where he spent his life in agricultural pursuits. He had children as follows: Joseph; Martha, who married James Montgomery, a farmer of near Noblestown, Iowa, where both died; Nancy Cowan, a widow, now residing in Iowa; and William. The children of William Marshall were: Thomas and Stewart who died in Washington County; Louisa, who married John Duncan; Maria, who married a Mr. Gloss and removed to Ohio; Ruth; Ann, who married Thomas Wilson, of Cross Creek Township; and Margaret.
William Aikin was the owner of a farm near Bulger, where his accidental death occurred, when a tree fell upon him, and his wife died later of rheumatism of the heart. They were the parents of six children, namely : Nancy, who married and died in McDonald; Ann, who married David Manson, now deceased, and lives at Steu- benville, Ohio; Elizabeth, who married Benjamin Rose- berry McCarthy, and resides at Carnegie, Pa .; Louisa Jane, wife of William MePeake, of Hickory; Joseph Wilson, who died some years ago in Burgettstown, leav- ing a widow, whose maiden name was Crawford, living in Washington County; and William Marshall.
William Marshall Aikin was reared on his father's
816
HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY
farm near Bulger, and after leaving home he rented land for nine years. He received one-sixth of the sixty acres of his father at the latter's death, and engaged in farming on his own account, which he followed through- out his active life, becoming very successful. He now owns a tract of 225 acres, the coal on which he sold for $90 an acre, but he still owns the Freeport vein of coal, which is very valuable, and there are three gas wells on the property, which have paid well. In addition to farming, Mr. Aikin, for a number of years, was engaged in raising sheep, having at one time from 300 to 350 in his flocks. He has been a good manager, as is proven by his present comfortable competency, and he is proud of the fact that he has never spent one cent for whiskey or tobacco. In political matters he is a Republican. He attends the United Presbyterian Church, and contributed liberally toward the building of the Center Church at Midway and the Burgettstown Church.
Mr. Aikin was married to Lizzie Elder, a daughter of John Elder, who owned the steam mill at Midway for a number of years. Mrs. Aikin, who died about seven years ago, was the mother of two children: Annie, who married Elmer Leech, now resides with her father; and May Alice, who is deceased.

Mr. McNelly was reared and educated in Butler County and was there engaged in the oil fields until he came to Washington, in 1898. In September, 1900, he started into the restaurant business and in February, 1902, he bought the grocery store then located at his present stand and since has added to his stock until now he owns a general store, stocked with dry goods and notions, and deals also in meats. His stock is so large and so varied that a customer must be very difficult to please, if he cannot find what he desires at this place. Mr. McNelly is a member of the Retail Merchants' Association, of which he formerly was financial secretary. He is serving in his third year in the city council, representing the important Seventh Ward. He has made a success in the management of his own business and has gained the full confidence of his fellow citizens in his public efforts.
