Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hello All I was just wondering if anyone knew what the occupation "Rougher" meant in the USA. My great grandfather was one in Youngstown Ohio in 1901 when he died! Regards Maxine

	It appears to be an occupation in a Rolling Mill (iron and steel industry).
