B. F. McCONNELL, merchant, Kane, was born in Newry, Blair Co., Penn., in 1864, and was reared and educated at
Renovo, whither his parents, Henry and Mary Jane McConnell, moved in his childhood. Later they came to Kane, and
here, in 1884, he engaged in the grocery business, becoming a member of the firm of B. F. McConnell & Co. This
was one of the enterprising firms of the borough, and had a good trade, but Mr. McConnell sold out his interest
in the firm, and, August 15, 1889, with a partner, went into the dry goods trade, the business being carried on
in the name of B. F. McConnell. Mr. McConnell is a member of Kane Lodge, No. 412, I. O. O. F. In politics he affiliates
