DANIEL McCONVILLE was a native of county Down, Ireland; born in 1820, and died Sept. 27, 1878.  He came to America in June, 1849, with his wife, nee Martha Cochran, (sister to Mr. R. Cochran, dry goods merchant, Market street,) and two sons, Daniel and James.  He first located in Knoxville, but in two years came to the city, and went into partnership with Cochran in the wholesale notion business.  Two years later he bought out Moses Alexander, but having an eye to a more central location, moved to Vierling's present stand, Market street, in 1860.  He remained there till the present very fine McConville block built on the corner of Market and Fourth streets, where he remained to his death, and pending the settlement of the estate the business is still run under the old firm style by his sons.  He was a thorough type of the fine old Irish gentleman—genial,
whole-souled and at heart devoted to the country and its people.  [ He might be termed a sound liberal democrat in politics and from birth associated with the Catholic church.  He was liberal to the poor and a worthy citizen and shrewd merchant, with a very large circle of friends in this community.  He was also at
one time a director in the old Merchant and Mechanic’s Bank and in the Jefferson Insurance Company; while as a trademan his ability and diligent application earned for him a desirable competency.  While in this country his family increased by three sons and two daughters—Edward, Thomas, Emmet, Hannah
and Edith.  Daniel is a director of the state penitentiary, and James has already served in the city council.

     DAVID MYERS, the present agent in Steubenville for the Adams Express Company, is a native of that city, and was born in 1828, his parents being from Pennsylvania.  He early learned the trade of a smith and for several years worked at it, subsequently becoming a steamboat engineer on the river— his last engagement being second engineer on the “Eclipse,” under Capt. R. W. Doyle.  After that (in 1855) he bought an interest in the wharfboat with J. and G. O’Neal & Co., succeeding to it as agent.  He only held that position, however, about one year, when he removed the Adams express business to the center part of the city— October 1856— its present address being 417, Market street.  A few years later, Mr. Myers also became insurance agent, and has succeeded in obtaining the representation of probably the oldest, finest and most reliable offices known in America, including the ‘Ætna,” “Royal” of England, “Insurance Company of North America,” “ Hartford ” of Hartford, “Fire Association of Philadelphia,” “Teutonia,” “Lancashire” of England, “Niagara,” the “Underwriters,” and several others.  In 1865 Mr. Myers also received the appointment to succeed Daniel McCurdy as Deputy Collector of Revenues for Jefferson county, to which Carroll county was subsequently added, and as an evidence of his executive ability and trustworthiness, during a period of fourteen years he has officiated under five different collectors.  He has also ever evinced a deep interest in local affairs, serving two years in the council and four years a county treasurer, during which latter period he introduced a new system of tax receipts that is gaining universal adoption.  He was married May 21st, 1843, to Amy, daughter of Samuel Kirkpatrick, of New Jersey, but who was one of the earliest settlers in Steubenville, by whom he has a family of six children living.  One daughter has become Mrs. John McGowan— one son, (Samuel A.,) is chief clerk in the Railroad Postal service on the Pan Handle route, and William is in the Western Union Telegraph service at Pittsburgh.
