General Notes: Husband - Edward Tudor Edwards
His parents migrated to the United States in 1880 and settled in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, class of 1903, with the degree of Mechanical Engineer. His first position was in the employ of the Carnegie Steel Company, then with the Firth-Sterling Steel Company, of McKeesport, and when he left the latter concern in 1910, he held the position of superintendent of the melting department. The same year he removed to Latrobe as president of the Vanadium-Alloys Steel Company, so continuing until 1915, when he became vice-president and general manager of the Latrobe Electric Steel Company.
The Latrobe Electric Steel Company was founded in 1913 by Charles W. Guttzeit and associates, for the purpose of manufacturing steel castings. In 1915 a re-organization took place, when the plant began to manufacture high-speed tool steel, alloy tool steels, and carbon tool steels. The new management, with M. W. Saxman, president, E. T. Edwards as vice-president and general manager, and Charles W. Guttzeit as vice-president and sales manager, greatly enlarged the plant and the scope of its operations, until they came to employ upwards of four hundred and fifty men, the establishment including twenty-seven acres with its buildings. The company maintained a playground in the Fifth Ward for the benefit of the children of its employees and the children in the community. It was the means whereby several playgrounds were started and maintained by the borough in other wards. The company also carried insurance on all in its employ. During the World War their plant was conducted upon an industrial basis for the United States Government. The concern was equipped with four Herault electric furnaces, with an average annual capacity of 15,000 tons. The plant was equipped with sixteen-inch, twelve-inch, ten-inch, and nine-inch rolling mills of modern design, and eight steam hammers, from six hundred pounds to four tons capacity, also cold rolling, cold drawing and grinding departments.
In his political convictions, Mr. Edwards supported the principles of the Republican Party.
His fraternal affiliations were with McKeesport Lodge, No. 375, Free and Accepted Masons; McKeesport Commandery, Knights Templar; Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the American Iron and Steel Institute; and the American Institute of Mining Engineers. He was also a member of the Greensburg, the Latrobe, and the Pike Run Country clubs, and the Pittsburgh Athletic and Latrobe Social clubs. His religious faith was that of the Presbyterian Church.
