General Notes: Husband - Samuel N. Moyar


He was born in Armstrong County, PA, and was a mere child when the family settled in Cornplanter Township, Venango County, where he was reared. After attending the local public schools he became a student in a commercial college at Titusville, from which he was graduated, subsequently spending a year in Warren County during the oil excitement at Cherry Grove and later entering the drilling business, which he followed for three years at President and for two years at Petroleum Center. He then located at Rouseville, where he was originally occupied in the coal and lumber business and teaming, in time becoming interested in the oil well supply business, which he carried on under the name of the Rouseville Supply Company. He established this concern in company with his brother William, J. W. Waitz and F. L. Fry, but afterward purchased their several shares and became the sole owner, having a well equipped plant at Rouseville for the manufacture of oil and water tanks and other commodities. Meantime he also acquired interests as an oil producer, as owner or part owner of several leases, being associated with his brother William in one situated in Cranberry and Sugar Creek Townships, also having land at Rouseville. He had other wells on his farm of 189 acres in Oakland Township, which he also cultivated profitably. He took part in the social life of his community and in matters of importance to its general welfare. He was a member of the Rouseville school board and served as president of that body. Fraternally he was a Mason, a member and past master of Fraternal Lodge, No. 483, F. & A. M., Rouseville; a member of Oil City Chapter, No. 236, R. A. M.; of Talbot Commandery, No. 43, K. T.; charter member of Venango Lodge of Perfection—all of Oil City; member of Pittsburgh Consistory; and Syria Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Pittsburgh. [CAB, 726]
