General Notes: Husband - Howard G. Mowry


He received the elementary portion of his education in the local public schools, which he attended until his eighteenth year. Hav­ing completed the courses which they had to offer, he then enrolled at the old Duquesne College, later taking up teaching as a profession, and con­tinued it for a period of two years, when he decided to take a course in the California State Normal School, to further perfect himself in his subject. He graduated from this institution in 1898, and continued his teaching for another two years. In the spring of 1900, however, he quit his profession and, coming to Homestead, entered the employ of the Carnegie Steel Com­pany, his work being in the Howard Axle Works. He re­mained in this service, rapidly rising in position from recorder to pay clerk, to the assistant to the chief clerk, Mr. Irwin. Besides his duties in the Carnegie Company Mr. Mowry was interested in Homestead real estate, and was a considerable owner, his property including three apartment houses in the city. He made his home in West Homestead after coming to the city. He was a member of the Republican party, and entered to a large extent into local politics, and served on the school board of West Homestead.
