There is no listing for him in the 1901 directory, so he must have still been in Jeanette. In 1902, he s listed as being a designer, living at 35 Sweetbriar St. In 1903, listed as a painter, same address. In 1904, he s listed as a decorator, living at Saline Ave. and Monitor St. in Pgh, same listing fro 1905. Which is as far as I got. The directory doesn t list spouses, children, etc.
