Rose continued to raise her several children in Carrolltown, Pa., after her husband’s early death. She was Vice President of the Altar Society at St. Benedict's Church, Carrolltown. She died of heart failure in 1941. Her maiden name was sometimes recorded as Phelan.

Celestine was raised in Allegheny Township, Cambria Co., Pa. He owned a brewery in Carrolltown, Pa., which he bought from a Frederic Eger, and later passed on to his brother-in-law, Henry Swope. The brewery was in operation by Celestine in 1890, and located at the corner of Main and Campbell Streets. Later that year, Celestine was elected in Carrolltown as one of the Directors of the Cambria County Agricultural Association. In 1891, it was reported that improvements were made to his brewery, including “an engine for the purpose of furnishing the power,” and that there was high demand for beer. His Carrolltown brewery, dwelling, ice house, stable and outbuildings, described as the former Julius Stich brewery, was advertised for a Sheriff’s sale on 5 Aug 1895. In January of 1897, an assignee of Celestine sold property to Henry Swope for $2,020. However, Celestine kept on at the brewery, as it was reported in August of that year that the ice machine was running day and night and that “Mr. Farabaugh has quite a trade in the manufacture of ice.” According to a Stich descendant who recreated the period beer manufacturing process, the photograph of Celestine and his brothers show them hold up Bock beers, which were dark and had high alcohol content, and would have been stored in the short barrel shown.

In 1904, he was listed as a brewer in Allegheny City, Pa., near his brother Isidore. He later died from pulmonary tuberculosis. His obituary stated that his death followed a month’s illness due to lung trouble. Celestine was a member of the Knights of St. George, the Improved Order of Heptosophs and the Brewer’s Association of Pittsburgh.
