General Notes: Husband - William Angove


His father, a miner in England, died of injuries received in the mines when William, his only child, was very young.

He was a native of Cornwall, England, and lived in that country until twenty-one years old, beginning work at the copper mines when only ten years old. He learned the trade of stationary engineer, which he followed in the Cornish mines up to the time of his coming to America. Landing at New York, he first found employment here as an engineer in Connecticut, and later located in Canada, running the engine at a grain elevator in Port Sarnia, across from Port Huron, Michigan. After some illness with an attack of fever and ague he went to the copper mines in northern Michigan, where he remained eight years employed in different mines of that region. In the year 1870 he removed to Shaffer Run, Venango County, Pennsylvania, in the vicinity of Oil City, and during the next ten years was engaged in pumping oil for Captain Hasson, at the end of that period locating at Oil City and becoming stationary engineer at the Kramer Wagon Works. Here he was employed until his death, which occurred while he was attending to his regular duties at the works, being caused by apoplexy. He was seventy-seven years of age.
He had been a member of Oil City Lodge, No. 589, I. O. O. F., of Oil City, for thirty-nine years, and his religious connection was with Trinity M. E. Church. Politically he supported the Republican Party.
