Chamber To Honor Citizen Of The Year

It is with pleasure that the Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce announces the 2006 Citizen of the Year, Mrs. Eleanor (Ellie) McKeage.

Ellie’s work history includes secretarial positions at Beach Manufacturing Company, New York State Electric and Gas Corp. and Brewer-Titchean Corp. in the Beverage Cooler Division. In 1957, she married John McKeage who, with other family members, owned the Beach Manufacturing Co.

Ellie and John shared many interests, namely antiques, golf and greenhouse gardening. Ellie has one stepson, Jack McKeage, who with his family resides in Florida. Ellie is an enthusiastic golfer.

For 30 years a dear friend and excellent golfer, Carole Eartley, Dallas, PA and Ellie played as partners, entering many tournaments in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and won a number of them.
