From the Pittsburgh Press:
PETCHICK -- On Sunday, March 20, 1910, at 2 p.m. Michael Petchick, in his 72d year.
Funeral services at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. T.H. Joyce, No. 6034 Upland st., on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend.
Michael died of bronchitis, according to church records. His death certificate gives "senile pneumonia" and exhaustion as the cause of death. Michael's second-eldest daughter, Augusta, signed the death certificate as informant. "Don't know" is written in all the blanks for the names of his father and mother and their birthplaces.
Michael married Catherine Gronowski. Their children were:
1. Henrietta "Ettie" (1860-1945); married Louis Baker.
2. Augusta "Gussie" (1864-1940); married first, Thomas H. Joyce; married second, Charles Bailey.
3. Herman (1865-1918); married Julia Bauer; took the surname Addison about 1890.
4. William C. "Willie" (1875-1962), never married.
5. Mathilda "Tillie" (1879-1967); married first, H. Dodson(?); m. second, Harry T. Parks.
6. Emma Emilie (1884-1945), never married.
7. Julius Albert (1885-1951); married Mary Ethel Bailey.
Black Diamond Steel Works, where Michael worked for 25 years, made crucible steel, a high-strength grade industrially forged by pounding with massive steam hammers (Black Diamond's biggest hammer weighed 17 tons). Crucible steel was used for cutlery, scissors and piano wire. It was strong enough for the firebox plates of locomotive engines as well as the tools that mills used to cut and shape hot steel rails and beams. In 1900, this company merged with competitors to form Crucible Steel.
