McFetridge retired from the mercantile business in 1902. In 1891 Peter Bert was admitted to partnership, and the firm has since been known as McFetridge, Bert & Co. William McFetridge engaged in the manufacture of brick, in company with his brother, George H., in 1884, and has been most successful.

His pater- nal grandfather, also named George Day, a soldier in the Revolution, came to Washington county before 1800, and con- ducted the first tannery in Washington county. George Day, the father of the subject of this article, was a tanner and farmer of Jefferson county. He died in 1848. George Day married Sarah Rodgers as his first wife and had by this marriage eleven children, as follows: Kate, who mar- ried John Robinson; Nancy, who married John Stone; Rachel, afterwards Mrs. John McDonald; Sally, who married Otis Shaw; Fanny, who became the wife of Joseph McCoy; Jane, who married James McCoy; Polly, afterwards Mrs. Richard Young; Rebecca, who married Rev. Gordon; Thomas; George, a physician, and John, also a physician. By his second marriage Mr. Day had four chil- dren: James G., for many years a prominent jurist of lowa; Matthew A., who served during the Civil war as a member of the 29th Iowa regiment, and died of measles while in the service; Joseph R., the subject of this sketch, and Ellen G., afterwards Mrs. Manley. All the children of both marriages, except the sub- ject of this article, are now dead. Joseph R. Day lived in Jefferson county until he was eighteen years old, and in 1855 went to Union county, Ia., where he was a farmer until the outbreak of the Civil war. On Aug. 9, 1862, he enlisted at Council Bluffs, Ia., in Company H, 29th Iowa volunteer infantry, as a corporal, and was promoted to sergeant and served with distinction until the close of the war.

garrison duty until the spring of 1865. He then went to New Orleans, thence to Mobile, and engaged in the siege and final assault and capture of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely. Captain Day was honorably discharged from the service at New Orleans, Aug. 10, 1865, and immediately after the war engaged in the livery business at Brookfield, Mo., continuing at this occupation until January, 1872, when he located in Allegheny city, Pa., and was for the next twenty years a traveling salesman. In 1892 he moved to Homestead and started a livery stable, which he still maintains. In January, 1860, Mr. Day was married to Miss Martha J. Pyles, daughter of William Pyles, of Washington county. Of three chil- dren who grew to maturity, Frank I. is now deceased, and George M. and Ellen S. (Mrs. Charles Krugh) are living. Mr. Day was elected, in 1866, first lieutenant of a militia company in Missouri, where he served six years. He was for ten years captain of Com- pany E, 14th regiment, N. G. P., and had charge of his company during the strike of 1892 at Homestead. He is the possessor of a handsome sword presented to him by that company. Captain Day is a member of O. U. A. M. post, No. 88, G. A. R., of Allegheny city, and of Camp No. 1, Union Veteran legion, of Pittsburg. In politics he is a republican.
CHARLES SUTTER, of McKee's Rocks, Pa., the popular and efficient postmaster, was born in Pittsburg, Pa., May 6, 1860, and is the youngest of seven children born to Peter and Philomena (Deckler) Sutter. Peter Sutter came to America from Germany in 1840, cast his first vote for William Henry Harrison, and, strange to relate, cast his last vote for Benjamin Harrison, this ballot being deposited only a short time prior to his death, at the advanced age of seventy-five years. Five of his children survive, viz. : Mrs. Adam Diehl; Mrs. Lewis Doumb, of Allegheny city; Jacob, of Springfield, Ill. ; Lewis, a grocer of Beaver Falls, Pa., and Charles, our subject.
Young Sutter obtained his early education in the public schools of Pittsburg, and on leaving his studies, secured a position in the grocery store of his brother-in- law, Adam Diehl, where he remained for fourteen years. He then began business for himself, owning several teams and being

engaged in hauling and transferring for Booth & Flynn, the largest contractors of the city. Seven years later, he went to Coraopolis and opened a branch office for the Singer sewing machine company, and there continued until 1898, when he was transferred to McKee's Rocks by that concern. He remained in charge of their affairs at McKee's Rocks until 1901, when he was appointed to his present position of postmaster. He has made a splendid record in that important position, and has given general satisfaction to the people of that city. A beautiful new building was completed Nov. 1, 1903, and free delivery established for the city July 7, 1903, with seven carriers. The building was expressly fitted up for postoffice purposes. Mr. Sutter was married on May 7, 1893, to Mary, daughter of David Kelly, of Connellsville, Pa, and to them were born four children, Fred, Marie, Stella and Mabel. Mr. Sutter is a republican in politics, but prior to his present appointment neither held nor sought public office. By his efficiency and courtesy, he has so entrenched himself in the regard of the citizens of McKee's Rocks that it is safe to say that were the office an elective position, his tenure would be a lengthy one. Mr. Sutter is also a member of the Masons and the Presbyterian church.
PETER BERT, of the firm of McFet- ridge, Bert & Co., a leading mercantile firm of Hites, was born in Germany, March 22, 1836.

His father was Jacob Alter, a native of Westmoreland county, who was a son of John Alter, and grand- son of Jacob Alter, a pioneer of West- moreland county, where he owned considerable land. Jacob Alter, father of the subject of this sketch, was a cooper by trade; also kept a general store in Freeport, and was justice of the peace. He was an abolitionist. He died in 1849. He had a brother, Dr. David Alter, of Freeport, who attained some prominence as a scientist and inventor, and was interested in telegraphy. He had the distinction of being the first man to make bromine. Jacob Alter married Prudence Stewart, a native of Armstrong county, and daughter of Isaac and Mary (Dunlap) Stewart. Isaac Stewart was a native of New Jersey, while his wife was born in Ireland, and came to America when twelve years old with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Dunlap. William S. Alter, whose name heads this article, was reared in Freeport, where he received a limited education, and when twelve years old went to work as driver on the canal. When very young he became captain of a canal boat, and after this spent several summers in transporting oil on the Allegheny river from Oil City to Pittsburg, and in the winters worked in a sawmill. He became a cleaner and inspector of railroad oil tanks, but was com- pelled by failing health to give up this work, being unable to do any hard labor for years. Mr. Alter then learned the tinners' trade with D. S. Wallace, of Freeport, followed this vocation five years, and for two years engaged in the hardware business in Freeport. Coming to Tarentum in 1883, he began his long and successful busi- ness career, at first as a member of the firm of Alter & Goldinger. Three years later he bought out his partner's interest, and has since that time run the business alone. He is now located in a fine store building, thirty-five by forty-eight feet in size, and three stories in height, which he built several years ago. In politics he is a republican, and at one time served a term as councilman. He has been in business in Tarentum for the past twenty years, with the exception of six years spent in farming.

In the fall of 1869 he engaged in limestone quarrying, which he conducted successfully for several years. His mother came to this country with her parents in the spring of 1865, set- tling in Pittsburg. His parents were married Aug. 18, 1870, and resided in Mt. Oliver until the spring of 1884, when they went to Oakdale, Pa., and later to Federal, South Fayette township, Pa., where they still reside. After giving up the stone quarry, Mr. Gross' father became actively engaged in coal-mining, which he followed until 1896. Both his parents are members of the German Lutheran church. Otto Gross attended the public school at Oak- dale, Pa. ; later the old Centennial school at Federal, Pa., and when fifteen years of age began working in a general store at Hickman, Pa. He remained in that position for eight years, and then came to Coraopolis, where he engaged in the grocery business. He conducted that establishment for one year, and then admitted a partner, adding a line of chinaware and other specialties, and now the store of O. J. Gross & Co. carries the finest and largest stock of any concern of that nature in Coraopolis. He was mar- ried, in 1900, to Clarinda Annetta Kelso, of Sheridan, Pa., and they have one daughter, Marion Lovinia, born Feb. 10, 1902.

HENRY FOSTER HUTCHISON, of Cheswick, Pa., a well-known employe of the Allegheny coal company, was born on April 27, 1854, in Harmarville, Alle- gheny county, on the farm then owned by Henry D.
