General Notes: Husband - Lyman D. Rhoades

---

He acquired his education in the schools of New Brighton, Beaver County, PA, Kittanning, Armstrong County, PA, and Curry Seminary at New Brighton, which institution was later removed to Pittsburgh. After his father’s death he began work, in 1860, in the lumber woods in Jefferson County, PA, hauling square timber to a place on the Clarion River then known as Armstrong’s Dam, later Clarendon, during the winter. He arrived in the oil country April 9, 1861, and made his first trip to Oil City the latter part of that month, finding a permanent position in July. For ten years he was engaged in boating and teaming oil, and he gained thorough familiarity with the different branches of the business as carried on in the vicinity, though he was principally identified with production. He also acquired holdings in other territories, but his operations as a producer were all within three miles of Oil City. At one time he was a member and one of the directors of the Ridge View Sand Company, producers of oil and sand, who maintained an office in the Levi block in Oil City. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and a Republican in political association, but was never active in any circles outside of business.
