General Notes: Husband - Frederick William Pirl

---

He reared on the old family farm homestead, which he later owned, and attended the Germantown public school, and also spent three years in the public schools of Pittsburgh. In 1885 he began his apprenticeship at the blacksmiths' trade in McKeesport, and served three years, after which he worked as a journeyman until 1890, when he went to the oil fields of Venango County, Pennsylvania, where he remained for two years. In 1892 he located in Duquesne and embarked in the blacksmith business as a member of the firm of Pirl & Evans, which partnership continued for one year, when he purchased Mr. Evans' interests and conducted the business under his own name. He prospered in that venture, and, in 1899, sold an interest in his concern to William Kroeger, and they then met with much success under the firm name of Pirl & Kroeger.

He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, and he was a member of the Elks, Odd Fellows and Masons. He was also a director of the First National bank of Duquesne, served ten years in the council, and as burgess of the borough.
