General Notes: Husband - John Harrison

---

He was born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and lived his entire life in the same neighborhood. He was educated in public schools in McKeesport, and on arriving at suitable age became a stationary engineer, working in the saw mills and on the river boats. When the steel mills were started in McKeesport, he was one of the first engineers employed and for forty-three years was continuously so engaged. During the latter years of his life he was chief engineer and foreman, and during the last year he lived was an honored pensioner of the company, having reached the age limit and holding an honorable record for efficiency and fidelity. His home on what became Ninth avenue, he built on a part of his father's original purchase, he having purchased a large part of the tract from his brothers and sisters. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Royal Arcanum.
