Mitchell P. Kartalia, who was born to immigrant parents in a Pennsylvania coal-mining camp and rose to prominence in the electrical manufacturing industry, died at home in Barrington, IL on Dec. 5, 2011. He was 98. During the Great Depression, Mr.

Kartalia left his hometown of Avella, Pennsylvania, to study engineering at the University of Cincinnati. There, in a "co-op" program, alternating time on campus with periods of work in a steel mill, he earned his way through school and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. There also, he met and married Rebecca Adelaide Dunham, a registered nurse on the staff of Cincinnati General Hospital. As a graduate engineer, he accepted an offer from the Square Company, an electrical control and switchgear manufacturer. Mr.

Kartalia had a 40-year career with Square entering as an application engineer and working his way steadily higher to the top management of the firm. At retirement he was Square President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Under his leadership Square sales and profits grew tenfold. He always spoke proudly of the good reputation and leadership in this field, and he strove to preserve those intangible corporate assets. He also aggressively pursued new business opportunities, notably in the establishment of overseas operations.

He was active in the manufacturing community, serving a term as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and also a term as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Illinois Manufacturers Association. The University of Cincinnati awarded him an honorary doctorate in recognition of his career achievements. His parents, Petar and Andjelja Juras Kartalija, were Serbian villagers from Sjenicak in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now part of Croatia. Mr. Kartalia was a proud Serb and in his later years especially enjoyed opportunities to speak Serbo-Croatian, the language of his home.

He visited Sjenicak several times and renewed ties with his surviving kinfolks, who knew him as their American uncle. A resident of Barrington for over fifty years, he was active in the Barrington area community. Some of the groups he served include the Board of Education for District 220, Good Shepherd Hospital and the Buehler YMCA, Palatine. Mr. Kartalia is survived by his wife Rebecca, who has shared the adventure of his life for more than 72 years.

Mr. Kartalia was a devoted father and grandfather. He is also survived by three children, David E. Kartalia (Jill Kartalia), Diane S. Kartalia (Theodore Hoppock) and Peter James Kartalia (Dennielle Kartalia); 12 grandchildren; nine spouses of grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by daughter Janet K. Stewart and son Mitchell J. Kartalia. Visitation Friday, Dec. 9 from 4 to 8 p.m.
