General Notes: Husband - Conrad Heasley


He was born in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and came to Bredinsburg with his parents when he was six years of age. He was especially well known among the old-timer river men and the oil men of the first development along Oil Creek. Previous to the War of the Rebellion, he was employed as a pilot and acted in that capacity on the Belle Plain Nos. 3 & 4 and other steamboats of the early days.
One of the striking events of his life was the part he took in saving the Belle Plain No. 4 from being destroyed during a terrific fire at Pittsburgh in which much shipping was burned. He was employed as a pilot when he enlisted in August, 1862, in Company I, One Hundred Forty-Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He took part in 42 different engagements or battles and was wounded three times in the second day's fight at Gettysburg. His death was indirectly caused by these injuries.
At the close of the war, he was married to Hannah Maria Long, whose family were neighbors of the Heasleys, and they established their home in the Oil City area. He became active in the oil business throughout the area, and after the waning of the oil business became employed at the Innis Engine Works as a machinist. In 1892 he went from Oil City to Buffalo to work where he remained for six years but on the account of the wounds received during the war, was unable to continue work and for eight years previous to his death, was only able to get around by the aid of crutches.
He was survived by his widow, Hannah, one daughter and one brother and five sisters all of Elkhart, Indiana. He is buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City.
