General Notes: Husband - Isaac Anderson


He attended public school in the land of his birth, where he remained until he came to America, in October, 1869. Arriving at Castle Garden, New York City, he proceeded at once to Driftwood, Cameron County, Pennsylvania, where he soon found employment at railroad work, being so engaged at Dents Run, across the line in Elk County, and remaining in that section about nine months. Thence he came to Oil City, Venango County, where he made a short stay, meanwhile occupied in railroad work between that point and Rouseville, where he eventually located. Here he acquired his first experience in the oil business as pumper with Captain Bowen, looking after one well, later pumping two wells for Isaac Gibson. This was followed by a year's work in a refinery at Titusville, from which place he changed to the Miller Farm in Venango County, where he also did refinery work for a time. During the next six years, however, he was employed at the coal mines at Harrisville, Butler County, returning from that place to Rouseville in 1879. Here he purchased the John Cowels oil lease, in the operation of which property he was then engaged, continuing its development systematically. He drilled about forty wells on the place, and by methodical industry and good judgment made operations pay.


General Notes: Wife - Carolina Johnson


She was born in Sweden, and was eighteen years old at the time of her arrival in America.
