Died where?

CMS died in New York City not London as stated in this article, both Hessen and Warren in their bios confirm this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.91.227 (talk) 20:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schwab deserves more attention

Charlie Schwab was an American industrialist of the first water. It's not just that he turned Bethlehem Steel into one of the world's largest industrial concerns. An obscure Catholic boy from small town Pennsylvania, he was President of Carnegie Steel well before 40 years of age, and played an important role in the transformation of Carnegie Steel into US Steel. H L Mencken made fun of Schwab in his writings, as the ultimate American tycoon. There is an academic biography by Hessen. Yet this entry is long on juicy gossip, and short on facts soberly presented.132.181.160.42 (talk) 13:41, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon Hill, in his acclaimed book Think and grow rich gives a good and more realistic background on the role Charles M. Schwab in the formation of US Steel. It was his speech at the a diner party hosted by JP Morgan, that planted the idee of US Steel in the mind of JP Morgen and the other investors.

Wife

The initial reference to his wife should mention her name, but does't. Her name, Eurana, I presume, is mentioned later, but it is not clear from the context that this is his wife. Tweisbach (talk) 10:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC) Right under the reference to his wife is another to the family supposedly keeping an interest in the company until the 1980's. This is in conflict with information in _Forging America_ by The Morning Call, and sold in the Bethlehem Steel museum. According to it, all of his assets were sold very shortly after his death, rather than waiting for the imminent start of WW2, with its concomitant increase in the company's value. I will edit and remove that reference. -rocketlady — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocketlady (talk • contribs) 02:17, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
