Assassin Once of Natrona

Czolgosz Lived There and Worked at the Glass Works.

     Leon Czolgosz, the assailant of President McKinley, was at one time a resident of Natrona and for a portion of the time was an employe [sic] of the Tarentum Glass company. The family came to Natrona from Alpine, Mich., and the father was employed at the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing company’s works at that place. There was a large family and the father had been married the second time. Leon is remembered by his fellow workmen as a quiet and unassuming boy and they were amazed that he could be in any way connected with anarchism.
     John Long, formerly manager of the glass works, remembers the boy being on the pay roll [sic] and when he saw the name in the paper remarked that it was a familiar one. The family resided in an old log house on the Brackenridge estate and were considered industrious. They left here about eight years ago and moved to Cleveland. So far as known Czolgosz was about 18 years of age when here and would be about 26 at the present time.
