General Notes: Husband - William M. Grace

---

He learned glassblowing, which he followed seven years. In 1844 he took charge of the glass firm of William McCulley & Co., and from 1851 to 1860 was with the firm (Mc­Culley) at the Sligo Glass-works. In the fall of 1860 he became a partner of B. L. Fahne­stock and Robert C. Albree, in which he continued until 1872. In 1874 he went to St. Louis, built a glass-factory for the St. Louis French Window-Glass Co., and with them he remained one year, when, in consequence of ill health, he retired from business and re­turned to the old Lorenz homestead, in Chartiers township [Allegheny County, Pennsylvania], which he had purchased in 1863. He served as school director and sec­retary of the school board, and justice of the peace.
