General Notes: Husband - Henry Alexander Laughlin

---

He was a graduate of Brown University, class of 1860. In youth he displayed artistic talents of a high order and desired to make the study and execution of art his life work. Some of his paintings (all of which were executed before his twentieth birthday) indicated much natural ability. His father opposed his desire and insisted upon his following a business career. In 1861 he entered the firm of Jones & Laughlin (Limited) at the Eliza Furnaces, and all of his business life was devoted to the interests of this concern, which was the pioneer in mining the rich ores of Lake Superior and smelting them with Connellsville coke at Pittsburgh. Mr. Laughlin acted as general superintendent and chairman of Laughlin & Company until the business was absorbed by the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company. Since that time he was largely interested in the Pittsburgh and Lake Angeline Iron Mining Company of Michigan. Mr. Laughlin was a director of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company. He was a member of the Duquesne Club of Pittsburgh and the New York Yacht Club of New York City. Through the services of his ancestors he held membership in the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
