JAMES W. DUNLEVY

James W. Dunlevy, a prominent business man of Cameron, Marshall 
county, was born in Ohio county, W.Va., November 3, 1835.  He is the 
son of James Dunlevy, a native of Ohio, who was a farmer by 
occupation, and also followed the profession of surveyor, and was an 
active local preacher of the Methodist Episcopal church.  He was 
quite prominent among the early settlers of West Virginia.  In April, 
1875, he died at the age of seventy-eight years, and in May, 1877, at 
the same age, his wife died.  Her maiden name was Elizabeth Zane 
McCullough.  She was a lady of notable intelligence and great 
Christian virtues, and was widely known for her good deeds.  Seven of 
the eight children of these parents are still living.  James W. 
Dunlevy was educated in the high school at Cooleyville, Ohio, and 
then taught school in that state for three or four years with much 
success.  In 1861 he entered the quartermaster's department of the 
United States service, and served there until 1863, when he resigned 
and embarked in the lumber business, delivering timber on the line of 
the Baltimore & Ohio road to Wilson & Dunlevy.  After continuing in 
this twelve years, he purchased the interest of Capt. J. M. Pipes in 
the flouring mill of Reese, Pipes & Co., and subsequently bought out 
J. B. Hicks, becoming an equal partner with W. H. Reese, with the 
firm style of Reese & Dunlevy, under which he is still doing an 
extensive milling business.  He is also one of the owners of the 
stave factory, one of the leading industries of the town, operated by 
the firm of Wilson & Dunlevy.  Mr. Dunlevy is prominent as a citizen.  
Though a democrat in politics, he has filled the office of mayor of 
Cameron, which has a republican majority, he has sat on the board of 
county supervisors, and filled various offices of trust and profit 
honorably and efficiently.  Mr. Dunlevy was married in 1861 to 
Elizabeth, daughter of Col. D. F. Stone, of Belpre, Ohio, and they 
have three children: Maggie, wife of W. H. Haggans, of Cameron; Etta 
and Lizzie.  The three daughters are graduates of the Wheeling Female 
college and are ladies of culture and refinement.  Mrs. Dunlevy is a 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Dunlevy is an active 
Mason, has filled the chairs of his lodge and is a member of the 
grand lodge.
