A. R. RENSHAW, proprietor of the leading livery stable in Washington, was born in 1854, in Armstrong county, Penn., a son of W. H. Renshaw, a native of Philadelphia, where he followed the occupation of a river pilot for many years, but is now a farmer in Armstrong county. He married Miss Louisa Rogers (now deceased), of "old-country" parentage, and nine children were born to them, all of whom live in Armstrong county except the subject of these lines. A. R. Renshaw was reared in his native county, at the common schools of which he received a liberal education. Early in life he learned the trade of a carpenter, which he followed for several years. On February 15, 1890, he came to Washington county, and bought out the livery stable which he has since successfully conducted. On January 1, 1890, he was united in marriage with Annie B. Kerr, of Armstrong county, Penn. Our subject's home is on East Wheeling street.
