George Perry, foreman of the Standard Fire Brick Company 
at Anaconda, Montana was born and reared in England and 
there served an apprenticeship to the business of manufacturing 
brick and also to the trade of bricklayer.In 1867 Mr. Perry 
emigrated to America and settled in Norristown, Pennsylvania. 
A man named Player had a patent right on a furnace in this 
country, and sent to the old country for Mr. Perry to be 
foreman for him. From Pennsylvania,he went to Chicago, 
where he engaged in bricklaying, being employed in the 
erections of many of the large structures of that city. 
Next we find him in Ogden. There he was engaged in 
contracting and building for a number of years. In 
1884 he came to Anaconda and has since been identified 
with this place. He built the furnaces for the Standard 
Fire Brick Company and also did other work for the firm 
and when they learned that he was an experienced 
brickmaker, they employed him as foreman of their 
factory, in which position he has since continued, 
rendering most efficient service and proving himself 
to be the right man in the right place.Mr. Perry was 
married in 1866 to Lucy Bashford, a native of England, 
who came with him to America soon after their marriage. 
They have thirteen children, of whom ten are living; 
three of the daughters being married.
