This photograph of an oil painting of McConnell hangs now in the house
he built for his family on North McKean Street in Kittanning, Pennsylvania; see a photo of this house elsewhere on this page. The
building now is home to the Armstrong County Museum and Genealogical Society. It is known locally as the McCain House. Thanks to McConnell descendant Barbara
Guilliams for sharing this image.
