PETER H. SEERY, Vice-President and Superintendent of the New Jer-
sey Tube Company, is the son of Thomas H. and Mary Seery, a grandson of
John and Ellen (Seery) Seery, and a descendant of one of the old Norman-Celtic families of County West Meath. Ireland. Thomas H. Seery, his
father, was for more than half a century connected with the Waterbury
Brass Company, of Waterbury, Conn., being for thirty years its efficient
Superintendent. This connection covered his entire business life. He was
recognized as authority on brass manufacturing in every department of the
trade, and gained a wide reputation as one of the ablest and most talented
brass workers of his time. He died October 18, 1896, at Waterbury, Conn.,
where his widow still resides. Peter H. Seery was born in Waterbury, Conn., on the 27th of September, 1859, and received his education in the public schools of that city. He inherited his father's mechanical talents, and early in life took up the work in which the elder Seery achieved such eminent success. He has been actively identified with the brass working trade, and is now Vice-President and Superintendent of the New Jersey Tube Company, one of the largest and most successful corporations of the kind in the country. Mr. Seery has displayed marked ability, not only as a brass worker, but also as executive manager in business affairs, and the success of the New Jersey Tube Company is due in no small measure to his energy and constant application. He has always taken an active part in local affairs, and as an independent Republican and patriotic citizen has wielded an important influence in the community. Before coming to New Jersey Mr. Seery was for six years a member of Company G, Connecticut National Guard. He resides in Newark and is a member of the North End Club and of the Royal Arcanum. Public spirited, enterprising, thoroughly identified with the best interests of the city, and a liberal supporter of every worthy movement, he is universally respected and esteemed. The business of the New Jersey Tube Company being located in Harrison, he is closely identified with the affairs of Hudson County and is justly esteemed as one of its progressive men. Mr. Seery was married in Waterbury, Conn., in 1886, to Miss Frances Ellen Fitzpatrick. They have one son, Irving.
