Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories (1990) The Elgin Family Honored 1990 During the mid-1890’s, Mr. and Mrs. William S. Elgin, (Mrs. Emma Frances Elgin) built and operated a hotel bearing their family name and also had a general merchandise store nearby. They bought and sold many lots, and they built six homes all on what is now railroad property south of the westbound tracks. Mr. Elgin also started the development of Ten Row, which was never completed because the railroad station was moved from that area. Their son and daughter, Dr. Eugene Elgin and Medora Elgin Brady, also distinguished themselves. He became Division Chief of the Pennsylvania Health Department in preventing food borne illnesses in public eating facilities, and ultimately head Epidemiologist of Pennsylvania. He also served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Medora continued the family tradition of building and selling houses, as well as dealing in antiques and old furniture
