General Notes: Husband - Albert J. Whieldon

---

He began to deal in lumber when a young man, having charge of a mill in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he long owned some real estate. Associating himself with T. J. Wright, he built several houses, which he sold to new residents, and cleared a comfortable sum of money. He was a patriotic citizen of Ellwood City, and a firm believer in the city's continued growth and prosperity, and made valuable real estate investments in building-lot property, located in advantageous positions.

He was a traveling salesman for a Chicago lumber firm, residing at New Castle, Pennsylvania.

About 1897, the Ellwood Lumber Co. was officered as follows: E. Carlton of Cleveland, Ohio, president; Louis Heller, Youngstown, Ohio, vice-president; L. F. Phillips, secretary and treasurer; and Albert B. Wheildon, manager and superintendent. The company, which manufactured lumber for contract woodwork, was established in 1894, and the plant was built on a part of the Nye farm, located on Franklin and Highland Avenues, with a frontage of 208 feet on Franklin Avenue, 205 on Highland Avenue, 295 feet on Railroad Street, and the same on the alley. On the same lot there was also a two-story dwelling house and office. The mill was supplied with steam power, which was generated in a fifty horsepower boiler, and harnessed for service in an engine to correspond; the machinery was like what was generally found in mills of the sort: machines for planing, moulding, resawing, etc. The mill employed five men and sometimes more, and since Mr. Wheildon assumed the management in 1896, the business increased in volume to a significant extent, not even warranted by the large amount of building going on in Ellwood City.
