General Notes: Husband - Robert Sellers Hampton

---

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and received his pre­paratory education in the public schools of his native city, afterward studying at the Western University and Pennsylvania State College. His first business experience was in the general office of the Kansas Pacific railroad, at Kansas City, Missouri, where he was employed for four years. In 1876 he came thence to the oil region, settling at Parker's Landing, Pennsyl­vania, removing in 1880 to Titusville. After re­turning to Pennsylvania he was exten­sively engaged in the oil and gas business, and held for many years official positions, first as treasurer and later as general auditor of different companies affiliated with the Stand­ard Oil Company, oil producing, natural gas and pipe line companies. Later he was general auditor of the East Ohio Gas Company, the Hope Natural Gas Company, of West Virginia, the People's Natural Gas Com­pany, of Pittsburgh, and other natural gas and producing companies owned by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. He was also treas­urer and director of the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company, of which he was one of the principal owners; and was one of the organ­izers and president of the Cherry Lumber Company of West Virginia, doing extensive wholesale business in cherry and other special hardwoods, with general offices at Elkins, West Virginia.
He maintained his resi­dence in Titusville notwithstanding the fact that his office was in Oil City. He held membership in the Titusville City Club, Country Club, Motor Club and Canadotha Fishing Club, and affili­ated with the Masonic fraternity, having been master of Shepherd Blue Lodge, No. 463. In politics Mr. Hampton was always a Dem­ocrat, and took a deep interest in the advancement and success of the organization. He held for a number of years the office of vestryman in St. James' Memorial Prot­estant Episcopal Church.
