Gregory Mann adheres a grave marker to the headstone of his wife’s grandfather, Herman D. Sigal, who died in 1944.
In 1929, Sigal saved a 58-year-old lawyer from being struck by a train.
Jeanie Mann-Hoehn, Sigal’s granddaughter, requested the grave marker from the Hero Fund Commission and then traveled to Pittsburgh earlier this year to place it.
