DAVID M. McELHINNEY, of the firm of McElHinney & Johnson, manufacturers of brick and builders, was born January 9, 1834, in Washington County, Ohio, his early life being spent on a farm. At the age of eighteen years, he commenced to learn the trade of brick-mason at Marietta, Ohio. He followed his trade as a journeyman until 1861, teaching school during the winters of 1859-60. He then engaged in photographing at Pittsburgh, Penn. In 1862, he formed a partnership with his brother, A. M. ElHinney, in general merchandise and photographing along the Ohio River, by boat, for some years. He moved to Wellsburg, W. Va., in 1867, and opened a photograph gallery. He removed to Nebraska in April, 1869, and located at Nebraska City, Otoe County, where he formed a partnership with C. H. Roselius and engaged in the manufacture of brick and building. The firm dissolved in 1876, when he associated with him Mr. S. Johnson, and continued the same business. In the following year, they changed their base of operations to Hastings, where they have been financially successful. Mr. McElHinney was elected Grand Master of the I. O. O. F. of Nebraska in 1873, and was Representative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. in 1875 and 1876; was elected Mayor of the city of Hastings in 1881. He was married, in June, 1862, to Miss Harriet Barnes, of Pittsburgh, Penn., and has two children.
