General Notes: Husband - Albert Jackson
He was born at Rochester, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he grew up, acquiring his education in the township schools. In his youth he learned the business of manufacturing fire brick, in which he made such excellent progress that he rose to the position of superintendent in the American Fire Brick Works, filling it capably for twenty years. He had taken a man's responsibilities early, having been but nineteen years old when his father died leaving him the chief stay of his mother, whom he assisted faithfully in the care and rearing of the younger children. He left Rochester to come to the oil regions to do carpenter work for the Columbia Oil Company, whose field operations were located on the Story farm along Oil Creek, in Cornplanter Township, and with whom he was engaged for a period of fourteen and a half years. Having been appointed deputy sheriff, he served in that capacity during 1883 and 1884, after which he went to Clarion County as superintendent for the Fidelity Oil Company, in whose employ he continued two years. He next undertook field work at Coal Hill, Venango County, for what was then the Oil City Fuel Supply Company, repairing wells, etc., and he served that company as superintendent through its various changes, as the United Fuel Gas Company and the United Natural Gas Company, eventually having charge of all the field operations in Venango, Clarion and Forest counties. He retired from the superintendency in April, 1915, giving up its arduous duties for lighter occupation in Oil City, around the company's buildings. He has always been active and capable of continued strenuous effort, and in addition to his responsibilities as superintendent for the gas company was engaged in oil production on his own account. He was well known in local Masonic circles, belonging to Venango Lodge of Perfection, fourteenth degree, and to Pennsylvania Consistory, at Pittsburgh, thirty-second degree; he held membership in the blue lodge (No. 229) and chapter (No. 167) at Rochester, his old home. Though born and reared a Presbyterian, he was a member of Grace M. E. Church at Oil City for many years and one of its interested supporters. His first vote was cast for George B. McClellan, and he has been a Democrat ever since. [CAB, 784]
