General Notes: Husband - William G. Algeo, Jr.

---

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was also reared and schooled; his educational advantages, however, were extremely limited, and he obtained only a slight knowledge of the common branches. At the age of fifteen years, he quit school to learn the trade of a machinist in Pittsburgh. After completing his trade, he went to Rochester, Pennsylvania, where he learned the trade of a cabinet maker with his father, and remained in that line of business until 1878. Entering the service of the Western File Works of Beaver Falls he remained with them two years, as a journeyman. At the end of that time, he was employed by the Love Sewing Machine Co., at Rochester, and was occupied in the manufacture of sewing machines for the next three years. He was subsequently engaged by the Standard Horse Shoe Nail Works at Fallston, then by the Great Western File Works, and then by the Hartman Steel Company, where he remained four years, three of which found him in charge of the machine department. Later, Mr. Algeo entered the service of the Union Drawn Steel Company, being the first man hired by the company. The plant, though small at first, gradually improved and enlarged until it became one of the largest and most substantial enterprises of the town. Mr. Algeo's position was that of master mechanic and there was hardly a detail in the whole range of the plant but what he could attend to with accuracy and skill.
Mr. Algeo was a stanch Republican, but never sought nor held office. He was at one time a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Jr. O. U. A. M., the I. O. of H., and the Maccabees. He was a member of the Episcopal church.
