General Notes: Husband - William Pore

---

He received his education in the common schools of his native county up to the year he was ten years of age, when he went forth into the world to do for himself. He began his successful career by working in a store at Weaver's old stand, Mount Pleasant township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He remained there about two years, when he went to the county seat town, Greensburg, where he was employed by Louis Trauger for three years. In February, 1851, he came to Pittsburgh, taking a situation in the dry goods house known as the Bee Hive, where he was employed one year, after which he entered the large dry goods house of W. & D. Hugus, at Fifth avenue and Market street. In 1856 he took a position as bookkeeper in the foundry business of Graff & Company, successors to Graff, Reiseinger & Graff. This was later changed to Graff & Hugus, and in 1863 Mr. Pore became one of the partners in the concern, when the firm name was changed to Graff, Hugus & Company. He continued there until 1879, when he severed his connection with the firm and retired from active business life. After that date he occupied his time at managing his estate and buying and selling property.
Mr. Pore was for a dozen or more years very active in church work in the Lutheran church, holding at this period the office of treasurer of the Pittsburg Lutheran Synod, G. S.
