HUSSEY & CO., proprietors Carrollton elevator. This building was erected eleven years ago, by Simeon and Thomas C. Hussey, they continuing a successful business in the grain trade until the decease of the elder brother, which occurred in 1872. During this year, John Long, the well-known banker of Carrollton, became an active partner in this important enterprise. This elevator, perhaps the largest in the county, has a storage capacity of 20,000 bushels of grain, and a large trade is transacted. Mr. Hussey, a patron of this work, was born in Ohio, in 1841, a resident until 1861. During this year he came to Carrollton, where he ran a steam thresher, in connection with his brother, Simeon, mentioned above. This was, in all probability, the first steam thresher operated in the county. For two years the brothers transacted a successful business as proprietors of a sawmill. In 1868, Thomas C. Hussey was married to Miss J. Sanderson, a daughter of Joel and Olive Sanderson, a native of Ohio, where the marriage ceremony took place.
