General Notes: Husband - Henderson Oliver


He spent his boyhood on the farm and received a meagre education in the public schools. He then clerked for a time in a general store at Portersville, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was later taken into the business as a partner. Next he was engaged in the oil fields, but he soon turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, which occupied his time during a greater part of his active career. In addition to his home farm, he had a tract of land about two miles south of Portersville, lying on the road connecting the Yellow Creek and Prospect roads. Mr. Oliver raised forty-eight crops of strawberries and sold to one house, whole-sale, for thirty-eight years.

He was a farmer of Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and the owner of two good farms in that township, constituting in all about 260 acres of valuable land. His home farm was located about one mile from Portersville, on the New Castle Road, and was highly improved and modernly equipped with a large brick home and substantial outbuildings.
