He was born in Minnesota in 1878 and began his buisness in Everett, Washington in 1902. He continued to work and live in the Seattle area until his death in 1948. He also designed and patented a swivel band-saw guide for use in these mills. Alonzo Pawling and Henry Harnischfeger created the Pawling & Henry Machine and Pattern shop or P & H.
