Mrs. Mary Ann Calihan 

Mrs. Mary Ann Calihan, aged 61 years, member of a prominent family of 
Braddock, and who had numerous friends and relatives in this county, died 
Tuesday afternoon after an illness of almost two years.  Mrs. Calihan was 
born in St. Pinnock, Cornwall, England, March 17, 1849, a daughter of 
Josiah Symons, a coal operator of Cornwall.  Her parents moved to Vermont, 
near Rutland, when she was but two years old.  Two year later they settled 
in Johnstown, where her father for many years was connected with the old 
Cambria Iron Company. Mrs. Calihan was married in 1868.  In 1875 when 
Capt. William R. Jones left the Cambria Iron Company and with Andrew 
Carnegie built the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, Mr. Calihan and his family 
settled in Braddock, the former taking a prominent official position when 
the Edgar Thomson plant was put in operation. 

The funeral was held at Braddock Thursday morning.
