Pennsylvania. They attended St. Martin's Catholic Church (now Guardian Angel's Parish).

Joseph was a puddler. The basic product of early ironmaking was 'pig iron'.

Pig iron was brittle in quality due to impurities and the nature of its molecular structure and had to be converted

into ' wrought iron ' by re-heating and beating with heavy hammers to impart the strength and tensile qualities

required for more robust use. An improved method of achieving this was 'puddling ' - the iron was heated in a

reverberatory furnace which was normally top heated, the heat source not being in direct contact with the metal

thus reducing contamination. In charge of this furnace was the 'Puddler ', a highly skilled and dangerous

occupation which required physical strength, stamina and sustained concentration. He retired early due to

rheumatism.
