General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lawrence Fleming
He acquired an education above the average for the time and place, and during his young manhood engaged in teaching for several terms, his first school being near Oil City, Pennsylvania. Like most young men of the day in the rural and wooded districts, he also followed lumbering and rafting, and when oil was discovered he went into the new business promptly, experiencing the excitements attending many new and rich finds, and getting ample returns from his own investments. In 1881 he located on the fifty-two-acre tract in Oil Creek Township which was his home for the rest of his life, a valuable place lying on the Oil City and Titusville road, where it branches off to Pleasantville, two miles distant, and he owned another one of fifty acres one mile south, near what was once known as Black Oil Hill, later East Shamburg. He conducted profitable oil operations on both places, the production running fully as high as the average in that territory and yielding well on the investment.
Mr. Fleming took a leading part in the administration of township affairs, serving as treasurer and for a long period on the school board, holding the latter office until within three years of his death and also acting as treasurer of that body. In 1886 he was elected a justice of the peace and served two or three terms in that capacity, setting a high standard by his capable and honorable performance of all his duties. He was a Democrat politically, affiliated with Phoenix Lodge, No. 153, A. O. U. W., and in religious association was identified with the Church of Christ in his home neighborhood. [HVC 1919, 875]
