General Notes: Husband - Charles K. Bryce

---

He entered the glass-factory at the age of eleven years, mastered every detail, and soon became foreman of the mold department. He came to Homestead about 1875, and was manager of the glass-factory since its beginning.
He and his wife were members of the E. L. Church; he was a republican.

After a common-school education, he became an apprentice at the glass trade, and after serving his time as apprentice, was employed as mould-maker and designer in the same trade with the firm of Bryce, Walker & Co., and worked for this concern several years. In 1879 he established the Homestead glass works, being associated in the enterprise with his father, who was the pioneer glass-maker of Pittsburgh, J. B. Higbee and J. A. Doyle, Sr. Mr. Bryce was superintendent of the company from its start, and made the Homestead glass works famous all over the country, while he has won for himself an enviable reputation as a glass-maker. In 1880 Mr. Bryce organized in Homestead an independent fire company, of which he was then chief. The fire department was his particular hobby, and he made it an organization unsurpassed by that of any city in Pennsylvania. Although a man over fifty years old, Mr. Bryce lived temperately, and was one of the best-preserved and most active men in the vicinity.
