Home Reflections From Andy Warholic

Dad and Mother rented in several places before buying a home already built, located at 309 Waddell Avenue, Donora, PA, on April 17, 1916. Dad often told us that the home that he bought was one of the first homes built on Waddell Avenue, which we believe was shortly after the year 1900. I was the first of the last five children to be born in this home, while the first three children were born elsewhere, in rented homes in Donora, PA. I was born on December 6, 1916, in the upstairs bedroom, with a midwife assisting my mother. — The doctor came around later on in the day, in his horse pulled buggy. — I'm sure he didn't do too much for my dear mother. Mother was probably up the next day, taking care of the three older children; ages two, four, and six, and of course me. Dad was working 12 hours in the U.S. Steel Plant in Donora, PA ; about a 15 minute walk from our home. I can remember our home from about the age of six, and I do have pleasant memories. Although we were ve...

1984 The Steel Mills Reflection Year

I can go back in time to about age six, and to me these are precious memories; this would be about 1922. My Dad and Mother were married in Passaic, New Jersey on May 21, 1909, and returned to Donora, PA as bride and groom. Neither could speak any English, and when I hear about blacks claiming that they were treated very badly as slaves, I think back at the sufferings that my Mother and Dad endured. I don't think they were much better off than the blacks — They were exploited and worked under inhuman conditions, and for pennies a day. It was because of immigrants such as Dad and Mother that U.S. Steel became so wealthy. The men were forced to work 10 and 12 hours a day at the steel mills for very, very low wages and under inhuman working conditions. Because of people such as my Dad and Mother (Mother had to be a good companion for my Dad in order for him to carry on), the steel mills prospered. — Today, 1984, most of the steel mills in the United States have either phase...

Our Home In Donora Pennsylvania

Donora, PA Home built about the year 1900 with composition brick siding added in 1942; installed by Andy Warholic with help from brother John Warholic. Dad and Mother rented in several places before buying a home, already built, at 309 Waddell Avenue, Donora, PA on April 17, 1916.
