General Notes: Husband - Daniel C. Grimm


He received his education in the public schools of Franklin, Pennsylvania. On leaving school he started work in the employ of his uncle Daniel Grimm, in the oil business, continuing this association for two years. Then, in company with his father, he began operations as an oil producer at Rocky Grove, Venango County, and meeting with success in their venture at that point acquired similar interests elsewhere, having wells both at Bully Hill and Two Mile Run, all of which yielded in paying quantities. The partnership between father and son lasted until the father's death, in 1915, in which year the Grimm Oil Company was established, the brothers Daniel C., I. C. and O. B. Grimm each taking an interest therein; the other partner was E. E. Grimm, who was treasurer. Their holdings included valuable leases at Rocky Grove, where they had nine producing wells, and at Two Mile Run, where they have forty-five wells, and they are still drilling. Daniel C. Grimm devotes himself to the field work, which he was equiped to handle to the best advantage, the various properties in the company's control being developed under his supervision. He was an Odd Fellow and took an interest in the welfare of that fraternity. [HVC 1919, 791]
