Michael Gisal, aged 85, retired, one of the oldest residents of East Liberty,
died yesterday in his home, Finley and Meadow sts., after an illness of one
week. Mr. Gisal was born in Hooversville, Somerset county, Pa. When a young man
he removed to Irwin, where he learned the milling business and for several years
operated a flour mill at that place. About 45 years ago, Mr. Gisal, with his
family, took up their residence in this city. He engaged in the feed and grain
business under the firm name of Scott & Gisal at Eleventh st. and Penn ave. Mr.
Gisal later engaged in the contracting business. One of his first contracts was
laying out the Homewood cemetery. At the time of Mr. Gisal's arrival in this
city, East Liberty was farm land. He erected the old Gisal homestead at what is
now Finley and Meadow sts., where he had since resided. Mr. Gisal was one of the
first depositors in the Farmers' National bank. He was a member of the Sixth
United Presbyterian church. He is survived by the following children: Mrs.
Robert Scott, Mrs. Karl F. Miller and George G. Gisal. Five grandchildren and
three great grandchildren, all of this city, also survive.
