General Notes: Husband - Carl Henry Sipe


He was educated in Pennsylvania public schools and at Mercersburg Academy. The early years of his active career were devoted to the steel and coal industry at Apollo, in Armstrong County, where he became general manager of his company and served until 1927. In the latter year he joined his father as an executive of the Brighton Electric Steel Casting Company at Beaver Falls. The history of this organization dates back to July 20, 1922, when the company was established at Beaver Falls by a group of Pennsylvanians. D. T. Sipe assumed control in 1924 and incorporated the business. The company was engaged in the manufacture of pointing products for the seamless tube business, and was responsible for many developments in the field. The company employed some fifty workers and distributed its products throughout the United States. Its plant at Beaver Falls consisted of four buildings, with a total floor space of approximately 7,500 square feet. C. H. Sipe assumed the presidency of the company at his father's death in January, 1936. He made important contributions to the greater efficiency of the company's factory operations and the improvement of its products and developed and patented two pointers, embodying new principles, which were then manufactured by his organization. While exercising general supervisory control, he was especially interested in the problems arising from the development of machinery suitable to the company's needs.
Mr. Sipe was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers Association of Beaver County. He was affiliated fraternally with the Free and Accepted Masons and was a member in this order of the higher Scottish Rite bodies, including New Castle Consistory, thirty-second degree. Mr. Sipe was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
