Thropp, Joseph Earlston, was born at Valley Forge, Chester County, Pennsylvania, youngest of a family of twelve children, of Isaiah and Anna Virginia (Workheiser) Thropp. His greatgrandfather on his father's side, James Wood, was the largest coal and iron operator of his time in England. Mr. Thropp's mother was a grand-daughter of Colonel Christian Workheiser and his wife, Mademoiselle Gerardin of Quebec; they, prior to the Revolution, came into Pennsylvania and became owners of the village of Howellville, Chester County, with several hundred acres of land adjoining. Colonel Workheiser and his wife helped establish the quaint old church near Strafford, Pennsylvania, and both lie buried in its churchyard. Joseph E. Thropp received his education in the public schools of Chester County, The Friends Central High School of Philadelphia, and graduated as a civil engineer from The Polytechnic College of the State of Pennsylvania. He was repeatedly re-elected president of the Alumni Association of this college. His first work, along the lines of his profession was in Minnesota in the mountain work in and about Duluth; when he rapidly rose in sixteen months, by persistent hard work, to the rank of division engineer in charge of

construction though the youngest civil engineer on the entire road. Called home by the death of his mother, he declined a flattering offer to return west, and accepted a position as assistant superintendent of the Merion Furnaces at Conshohocken. After eighteen months he became a partner of J. B. Moorehead & Co. He superintended the building of a large second furnace in seven months, less than one-third the time required by two neighboring companies each to build a furnace. His first wife was the daughter of the senior partner.

This he declined and was the youngest of seven candidates before the regular Republican convention. After a protracted contest he was only defeated by a combination of the older machine candidates. Resigning from the Merion Furnace Company he became the head of the Edge Hill furnace operations as Joseph E. Thropp & Company. In 1887 he married Miriam Douglas Bickley, the eldest and widowed daughter of Colonel Thomas A. Scott, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Assistant Secretary of War under President Lincoln.

(From which he resigned in 1889.) In 1889 he became the owner of all the property known as the Everett Iron Company in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Was elected to Congress from Pennsylvania in 1898 to represent the Bedford, Blair, Somerset and Cambria district. Was named on three committees in the House, the only new member so honored, and was spoken of by President McKinley as "one of the most useful new members of Congress sent, in his time, to represent Pennsylvania." In 1906 he acquired the Saxton Furnace properties in Bedford and Huntingdon Counties as well as large holdings in coal lands adjoining and ore. lands at Antietam, West Virginia and Catoctin, Maryland. Associated with him at present in his business are his two sons, Douglas Scott Thropp and Thomas A. Scott Thropp. A winter home in Washington at No. 1701 20th Street, N. W., and a summer home at the iron works in Pennsylvania known as Earlston, Pa., are where he passes his time. A member and vestryman of St. Thomas' P. E.
