General Notes: Husband - Joseph Harris

---

He had a thorough education and training and was early inclined to a general business life. He was an iron-master, and in 1829 erected and carried on the furnace and works at Howard, Centre County, Pennsylvania; some years later William A. Thomas and Jacob Lex, of Philadelphia, became interested with him in the firm name of Harris, Lex & Thomas. In 1837 Joseph Harris built the dam for the Canal Co., finished the canal from Marsh Creek and cut a passage from the creek near the dam to the works. The company then built another furnace stack in 1840, and built an expensive rolling-mill, putting it in operation that fall.
