HENRY P. GAZZAM—Special work along any line of skilled labor bears peculiar
significance to the industrial world. It is the work of beginnings—preparing the way for
the purely mechanical work of the laborer, whose daily toil supplies the needs of the
people. The H. P. Gazzam Machine Company, of Pittsburgh, of which Henry P. Gazzam is
president, are widely known as manufacturers of special machinery of the many kinds. Mr.
Gazzam's life history is of interest to the manufacturing world, and to every one who
watches the progress of mechanics.

Mr. Gazzam is a son of Ebenezer and Elizabeth (Stevenson) Gazzam, old residents of
Allegheny City, in a day now gone by. Ebenezer Gazzam was a skilled cabinet maker of
that time, when every piece of woodwork was made by hand.

Henry P. Gazzam was born in Allegheny, now a part of Pittsburgh, April 7, 1854. He
attended the public schools of that city, but was only eleven years of age when it became
necessary for him to leave school and go to work. He first secured a position as an errand
boy, then later learned the machinist's trade. Following this trade for eight years, or until
about 1881, Mr. Gazzam formed a partnership with H. C. Bair and founded a

manufacturing business under the name of the Bair & Gazzam Manufacturing Company,
which concern continued until 1907. Mr. Gazzam, in the meantime, severed his connection
and organized the H. O. Gazzam Machine Company, June 20, 1906, Henry P. Gazzam
becoming president and general manager. The plant is modern in every way, and fully
equipped with the most approved facilities. The building is 50x100 feet in area, and two
stories high, entirely improved. Their product is confined exclusively to special machinery,
much of it of the most intricate nature. They employ as many as forty hands, mostly skilled
workmen. The product goes to many different States, and they also do considerable work
for the United States Government.

Mr. Gazzam, as head of this important business, is prominent in manufacturing circles in
Pittsburgh, and thus closely identified with public progress, although not in a political
sense. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Credit Men's Association, and
of the National Manufacturers' Association. He supports the Republican party. Fraternally,
Mr. Gazzam is well known, holding the thirty-second degree in the Masonic order,
member of Milnor Lodge, No. 287, Free and Accepted Masons; Pittsburgh Consistory,

Sublime Princes of the Royal Secret, and Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of
the Mystic Shrine.

On May 7, 1872, Mr. Gazzam married Jennie Harris, of Pittsburgh, and they have three
children living: 1. Clara L., who was educated in the Pittsburgh institutions, became the
wife of C. C. Rosser, of Detroit, Mich., and has two children: Bessie and Clifford. 2.
Bessie, who was also educated in Pittsburgh, and now resides at home. 3. John Harris,
educated in Pittsburgh, and now draftsman and estimator for his father's plant; married
Susan Orient, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Mr. Gazzam's two other children are now deceased:
Oatey, who died at the age of four years; and Henry Parker, Jr., who was educated in
Pittsburgh, was associated with his father in business for a time, later entering the
automobile business, and died Nov. 15, 1918; he married Christina Smith, and left a little
son, Howard Parker.

Transcription of text in document

Killed by a Street Car

Saturday evening, about half past 8 o'clock, an old gentleman named E. F. Gazzam
was run over by a Rebecca street car at the corner of Craig street, Allegheny, and
instantly killed. It is very dark at the point named, and the colored driver of the car,
John White, did not see the man until he was nearly on him. Mr. Gazzam was 72 years
old, a cabinet finisher by trade, and lived at No. 283 Rebecca Street. He leaves a wife
and several grown-up children.

Alderman Edgar held an inquest yesterday, a verdict of accidental death being
rendered. The driver, John White, was released from custody. When being cautioned
by the Squire not to drive so fast hereafter, White replied that he never intended to
drive a street car again.
