\n\"quarry\n<\/div>\n
Jenkinsville Sand and Gravel, shown here, was founded in 2010 by Ruben and Danna Ellsworth, who have added Mohican Quarries in Fort Ann to their growing business\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY JILL NAGY<\/p>\n

Dana and Reuben Ellsworth added the
\nMohican Quarries in Fort Ann to their growing
\nfamily of extraction- and construction-related
\nbusinesses when they purchased it last March.<\/p>\n

The company — which owns Ellsworth &
\nSon Excavating Inc. in Lake George as well
\nas Jenkinsville Sand & Gravel LLC at 201 Jenkinsville
\nRoad in Queensbury — will soon erect
\na new building on that property at 310 South
\nOld Route 4.<\/p>\n

Dana Ellsworth, who manages the business,
\nsaid the new quarry serves as a source of rock,
\nmainly granite and quartzite, for landscapers,
\nhomeowners and builders.
\nThe addition of a new building will allow
\nprocessing activity to move indoors, facilitating
\nyear-round operation. Ellsworth said the
\ncompany “hopes to break ground before the
\nsnow flies” for the 75-foot by 100-foot building.
\nThe Fort Ann quarry is “a new adventure”
\nfor the Ellsworths, she said.<\/p>\n

As residential and commercial construction
\ncontinues to pick up in the area, the company
\nwill be ready to supply locally quarried stone for
\nfireplace fronts, landscape rock and the like,
\nthe owners said.<\/p>\n

The Ellsworth business began almost 50
\nyears ago when Rueben’s father began Ellsworth
\nand Son Excavating in Lake George. His son and daughter-in-law bought that business in
\n2011 and now own and operate it but, according
\nto Dana, her father-in-law “will always be part
\nof something.” Although retired, he remains
\nactive.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the Ellsworths bought the Jenkinsville
\nSand and Gravel quarry in Queensbury.
\nThat facility and the one in Fort Ann complement
\neach other: Jenkinsville is mainly a source
\nof sand and gravel; Fort Ann the source of stone.<\/p>\n

E&S Concrete Inc. in Fort Ann joined the
\nfamily in 2012, followed by the Mohican Quarries,
\nalso in Fort Ann, in March.
\nTotal employment for all of the businesses is
\nabout 50 people during the peak construction
\nseason, down to about 40 currently as winter
\napproaches.
\n“Not bad for a little mom and pop operation,”
\nsaid Ellsworth.<\/p>\n

While Reuben was essentially born into the
\nbusiness, Dana “married into it” 15 years ago,
\nshe noted. She manages the Fort Ann and
\nQueensbury operations and Reuben looks after
\nthe Lake George enterprises.
\nShe hopes that the business will remain in
\nthe family but, with their children only 9 and 13
\nyears old, it is too soon to tell. Meanwhile, she
\n“absolutely” enjoys her work, she said.<\/p>\n
