General Notes: Husband - E. F. Schell


Reared in Clarion County, PA, he ob­tained his education in the public schools of Richland and Madison townships. On leaving school he engaged in mining until February, 1871, when he entered the service of the Fox estate, first as a common laborer, but the following June was made a pumper at well No. 8, on the Allegheny river, near Foxburg, where he remained until November. He was then transferred to Nos. 10 and 12, east of Foxburg, where he was stationed for five years, and then took charge of the wells near the Clarion river. He was pumping numerous wells, two of which are at Blue Rock, and faithfully served the interests of his employers for more than twenty-five years.
In his political affiliations he was a Democrat, and, socially, he was a member of Val­ley Lodge No. 51, A. O. U. W. He served multiple terms as a member of the school board, and did much to advance the cause of education in his community.
