      BENJAMIN BEISEL,*  not proofed by submitter
  
  [p. 998] superintendent of the outside construction work of the
  Pennsylvania Engineering Works, at New Castle, is a traveled and
  experienced man in his line of activity and has been a resident of this
  city for the past twenty-seven years. He was born in 1859, at Pittsburg, Pa.
  
  Mr. Beisel's boyhood was spent at school and in the occupations which
  appeal to youth until he entered upon his apprenticeship to the
  machinist's trade, and when twenty-one years old he came to New Castle
  in order to enter the Withrow & Gordon Engineering Works. He remained
  with that firm until it dissolved, and then went to Philadelphia, where
  for twelve years he was superintendent of works in which Mr. Gordon was
  interested, and for seven years with W. W. Lindsay & Co., of that city,
  as superintendent of erections. He dissolved his pleasant relations with
  that firm in order to come to the Pennsylvania Engineering Company,
  where he has continued until the present. The nature of his work has
  taken him all over the country, even to Nova Scotia, and the larger part
  of his time is taken up in travel. Nevertheless, he takes much interest
  in New Castle and has a pleasant home in this city. In October, 1883,
  Mr. Beisel was married to Miss Mary E. McBride, who was born and reared
  at New Castle and is a daughter of Hon. Thomas McBride, formerly mayor
  of this city. Mrs. Beisel is a member of the First Presbyterian Church.
