John Still
John Still, general contractor and one of Steubenville's substantial and representative citizens, has been established in this city since 1890. He was born in Jefferson County, Ohio, February 1, 1858, and is a son of Daniel Still, now deceased, who followed the cooper's trade and was engaged in farming in Jefferson County.
John Still was reared on the home farm and attended the county schools through boyhood, but as his inclinations were in a different direction, he gave up agriculture and came to Steubenville, and for a quarter of a century has been engaged in general contracting here. He manages a large business in this line and is well known all over the county. He has invested in city property at various times and owns five very valuable residence lots on the corner of Seventh and Ross Streets.
Mr. Still was married in 1881 to Miss Loretta Smith, who was born in Pennsylvania. They have one son, Elmer Ellsworth, who resides at home. Mr. Still is identified with the Odd Fellows, the Woodmen and the Maccabees.
