General Notes: Husband - Peter Tillia

---

He was born in France and came to America at the age of twenty-two years in company with three of his brothers. In his native land he had attended excellent schools and there he also learned the trade of stone-cutter. He followed this trade in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after coming to the United States, and later, at Wampum, in Lawrence County, for a few years, and then leased an ore bank for a time and still later bought a farm, and continued both industries up to his death. He had as many as 125 men working for him at one time, in the iron ore industry, and did an immense amount of business. He was a stanch Republican, but accepted no office but that of school director. He was reared in the Roman Catholic faith.
