Eugene H. AMORY, who came to Kenosha, WI, in Dec 1913, as Superintendent of 
the N. R. Allen's Sons Company, the largest plant owned individually in the 
world, was born in NY on 28 Dec 1886, his parents being John J. and Mary S. 
AMORY. John J. AMORY, a boat builder, has devoted his entire life to that 
pursuit, and both he and his wife are still residents of NY.

At the usual age, Eugene H. AMORY entered the public schools of his native [p 
476] city, and afterward became a student in the PA Military College, where 
he pursued a civil engineering course, graduating with the class of 1904. He 
started out in practical business life in connection with the U. S. Leather 
Company, securing an humble position, but soon worked his way upward. He 
spent 14 months in Germany, France, and England, studying the leather business 
in every phase, and following his return he was made Superintendent of the 
plant of the U. S. Leather Company in Paw Paw, WV. There he continued until 
Dec 1913, when he came to Kenosha, WI, and has since been Superintendent with 
the N. R. Allen's Sons Company. Only a most throughout trained and expert 
man could occupy this position, for as such he has direct supervision over 
the labors of 1,100 workers.

On 24 Feb 1914, Eugene H. AMORY was married to Miss Nell D. MOORE, of 
Pittsburgh, PA, and they have a son, Eugene H., Jr. The senior Eugene H. 
AMORY gives his political endorsement to the Republican party, and is well 
versed on the questions and issues of the day, but concentrates his attention 
upon his business affairs. Already he has attained a position notable for 
his years, an indication of still greater success in the future.
