GLENN R. PATTISON,
a prominent jeweler and optician of East Liverpool, was
born in Hadley, Pennsylvania, on the 28th of January,
1873, and is a son of John and Maria L. (Cleeland)
Pattison.
Alexander Pattison, grandfather of our subject, was
born at Glasgow, Scotland, and died in this country in
1870, being then past the age of 70 years. At the
age of 16 years he came to America, locating in Western
Pennsylvania, where he followed his trade many years.
About the time the railroad was put through the
discontinued work at his trade of stone-mason and
devoted his entire time to the cultivation of a farm
which he owned some years and which is the old family
homestead, where our subject was born.
John Pattison was born in the old homestead at
Hadley, Pennsylvania, in 1843, and still resides there,
conducting it as a dairy farm. He is a Republican
in politics and has held several township offices, such
as school director, trustee and supervisor. In
1864 he answered the cal for volunteers for three-months
service in the Union Army and served until his term of
enlistment expired. He married Maria L.
Cleeland, a daughter of John Cleeland, born
at Portersville, Pennsylvania. Eight children were
born to them, seven of whom grew to maturity, as
follows: Lillian, wife of Edgar Noyes, of
Salamanca, New York; Glenn R.; Paul P.,
who still lives on the old homestead; Ethel, who
lives at home; Lois, a trained nurse in one of
the hospitals at Buffalo, New York; Hazel, wife
of Earl Minnis, of Clark’s Mills,
Pennsylvania; and Jeanie, who is at home.
Mary, the third child of this union, died in
infancy. Religiously, they are members of the
Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Pattison
has been elder for more than 40 years; he has been
superintendent of the Sunday-school many years.
Glenn R. Pattsion remained on the home harm
until he reached his majority, then went to Butler,
Pennsylvania, and learned the trade of jeweler,
watchmaker and optician, remaining there three years.
Having been favorably impressed with the rapid growth
and prosperous condition of East Liverpool, he decided
to make this city the scene of his business operations.
Accordingly in 1896, he opened a small store at No. 164
Fifth street, but later moved to Sixth street as he
needed more commodious quarters. He later formed a
partnership with Pearce Walker under the
firm name of Pattison & Walker, but at the
end of eight months purchased the interest of his
partner and has since continued alone. In March,
1900. he moved to 226 Market street, in the “Diamond,”
where he remained until the disastrous fire of February,
1905. He then found temporary quarters on Market
street, above the Horn Switch, and upon the completion
of the new building resumed his old stand. He has
the largest and leading jewelry store in the city, and
carries a magnificent line. He has given the
strictest attention to his business, having little time
for anything else, and when not at the store is
generally found in the companionship of his family.
Mr. Pattison was united in marriage with
Lida J. Rankin, a daughter of William A.
Rankin, of Amsterdam. Ohio. They reside in a
beautiful residence at No. 367 Lincoln avenue, which he
purchased in 1903. Religiously, they are members

GEORGE JUNIUS BEEBE PHILLIPS,
stone contractor at East Liverpool, was born in New
Orleans, Louisiana, Mar. 17, 1852, and is a son of
Arthur M. and Lucinda (De Rella) Phillips.
Arthur Martin Phillips, the grandfather, was born
in Connecticut and possessed all the mechanical
ingenuity with which natives of that fine old State are
credited. He came to Ohio early in the last
century and worked as a machinist, establishing his own
business at Steubenville. For many years he held
the office of river inspector. Arthur M.
Phillips, his son and father of our subject, was
born at Wheeling, Virginia, (now West Virginia), and
learned the trade of machinist in boyhood, later taking
up engineering on the river steamers. This was his
occupation as long as he lived an active life. He
retired some years prior to his decease. His wife
was a native of Marseilles, France. They had but
two children, Arthur M., who died in
infancy, and George J. B., of this sketch.
The mother survived until 1882, dying at the age of 53
years.
Our subject was a resident of West Virginia during the
early part of the Civil War. Later he learned the
trade of stone-cutter which he followed at Moundsville,
West Virginia, and this he followed as a journeyman
until 1869. Then he came to East Liverpool and
worked at his trade, first on the old Fourth Street
school-house. About 1871 he went into business for
himself, and in 1873 he entered into partnership with
J. C. Kerr, under the firm name of Phillips &
Kerr, a connection which lasted until 1899.
The firm did the stone work on the United Presbyterian
Church, the Methodist Protestant Church, both edifices
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Central School
Building and many others, including business blocks and
residences. In 1895 he purchased a quarry on
Harker Hill, which is one of the finest stone quarries
in the Ohio Valley.
Mr. Phillips married Jane R. Moore, the
daughter of Jackson Sprague Moore, of East
Liverpool. The latter was named for two men who
later became distinguished, the former was Governor of
Maryland and the latter of Virginia. Mr. and
Mrs. Phillips have had two children, viz.: Edessa
Edna, wife of Albert Lowther, of East
Liverpool; and Frank O., who was accidentally
killed by a train at the age of 26 years. The loss
of this son in his bright young manhood was a crushing
bereavement to his father. The family belong to
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Jackson Sprague Moore, father of
Mrs. Phillips, was born in Baltimore and
died in Ohio in 1901, aged 82 years. His father,
William Moore, took part in both the War of 1812
and the Mexican War. He was one of the old charter
members of St. Stephen’s Protestant Episcopal Church, of
East Liverpool, where he came to reside at an early day.
Jackson Sprague Moore came to this section
with his parents when a child. When he grew to
manhood, he located on a farm in what is now West
Virginia 'and followed the river mainly until after the
Civil War. He was a member of the 72nd Virginia
Regiment Vol. Inf. When he came to East Liverpool,
he entered a pottery and followed the trade of
saggermaker. He married Mary Ann
Davidson, a daughter of William and Jane
Davidson, of East Liverpool. She was a member
of the Methodist Protestant Church and he of the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
Albert Lowther, son-in-law of Mr.
Phillips, was born Dec. 4, 1870, at Pullman, West
Virginia, and is a son of Rev. Oliver and
Salome (Somerville) Lowther. His father was
born at Pullman in 1840 and studied for the ministry in
early life and preached as a member of the Methodist
Protestant clergy for many years. He now resides
at Pullman. His father was William I. Lowther,
a fanner of West Virginia.
In 1899 Albert Lowther went to Wheeling,
West Virginia, and there learned the clothing business,
later becoming a traveling salesman for Kraft
Brothers & Rosenburg, for four years.
Then he removed to Steubenville and became traveling
salesman for I. Sulzbacher, with whom he
continued for four years. In 1898 he left there
for Wellsville, where he entered the employ of Julius
Goetz, a retail clothing merchant and in 1903 he
became a partner in the business. Mr.
Lowther is a member of the fraternal order of
Eagles. Mr. and Mrs. Lowther have one
daughter, Mary Virginia, who was born Aug.
11, 1901.
