General Notes: Husband - David S. Pyle
He obtained his education at New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, but left school in boyhood and after taking a course in bookkeeping and stenography took charge of that work for the Vulcan Iron Company and remained with that organization until 1891, when he entered the employ of the Pittsburg Iron and Steel Engineering Company. He served as foreman and general timekeeper but started in as one of the first employes, while the company was putting in the Bessemer plant for the Shenango Valley Steel Company at New Castle. From there he subsequently entered the employ of the New Castle Steel and Tin Plate Company, which was later absorbed by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company. He began before a work had been started in the mill and his rise was gradual, becoming superintendent of the New Castle works, formerly known as the Greer Mill, and later district superintendent of the two New Castle tin mills and then of the Sharon works with offices in the Shenango mills. On July 1, 1908, he became manager of the great Shenango works, having hundreds of men under his supervision and machinery and equipments worth fortunes.
