General Notes: Husband - John Bryce

---

He was of Scotch descent, and served an apprenticeship of seven years with Thomas Bakewell to learn the glassworker's trade. Subsequently he commenced the business for himself, under the firm name of Bryce, McKee & Co., which was afterward changed to Bryce & Richards, and then to Bryce, Waken & Co. John Bryce was one of the originators of the Duquesne Fire company of Pittsburgh, and was its president at the time of the big fire in 1845. In May, 1879, the firm of Bryce, Higbee & Co. established a glass-house in Homestead, where they had 190 hands employed, and were the first to use natural gas in the county.
