He makes his home in the latter place, residing at No. 314 North Third Street. He was born in this city, July 16, 1848, and is a son of William Day, who was a pioneer business man of the county.

In 1879 he with others organized the Steubenville Pottery Company, of which he was secretary and treasurer for twenty years. During that time he was interested in developing the Lonhuda art ware.
