General Notes: Husband - Thomas Lewis Parry


He was reared in Wales, and received a limited education in the common schools. When sixteen years old, he went to work as assistant at the blacksmith trade. Four years later, in 1857, he came to America, locating first at Tamagua, Pennsylvania, where he remained a year, and then at Danville, where he was employed for two years as a blacksmith. From Danville he went to Columbia, Lancaster County, where he worked for a short time at his trade, and then was engaged for six years as a roller. The next sixteen years were spent as a roller at Harrisburg, with the exception of two years, when he was employed at the same trade in St. Louis. He also spent one year in Ohio as a roller. In 1880 Mr. Parry came to Allegheny County, locating the next year at Homestead, where he thereafter resided. Until the strike of 1882, he was employed as a superintendent and roller, and retiring from the mill, was engaged for two years as a wholesale liquor dealer in Homestead.
He was a member of Germania lodge, No. 509, South Side, Pittsburgh, and a director and stockholder of the First National bank of Homestead. In politics he was a republican.
