[p. 820] general superintendent of the Elliott-Blair Steel Company at New Castle, and a leading manufacturer in this industrial city, was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in November, 1860. Mr. Elliott was reared and educated at Pittsburg. In his youth he entered the employ of the Crescent Steel Company and from 1876 until 1885 worked in their rolling mills. For two years more he was in the employ of the Singer-Nimick Company as foreman of the cold rolling department. Then going East he was for six years with the Spaulding-Jennings Company of Jersey City, N. J., during which period he established their cold rolling mill. In 1891, with his brother, George Elliott, he established the Elliott Brothers Cold Roll Steel plant at New Castle, which was continued under that style for a few years. Later T. C. Elliott became interested in the enterprise, the capacity of the plant was increased, and in 1898 the present company, the Elliott-Blair Steel Company, was formed.
In 1885 Mr. Elliott was married to Miss Margaret Smith, of Pittsburg, and they have seven children, namely: Anna C., Noah, Bertha N., Reuben J., Elmer, Edith and Maxine Elliott. Two of his children—Anna C. and Noah, are graduates of New Castle High School. Mr. Elliott resides in a very pleasant and modern home situated in New Castle's most select and fashionable residence district, on the northeast corner of Highland and Lincoln Avenues.
