General Notes: Husband - Adolph Schorman

---

Bradford, McKean Co, PA

Of German origin, born in the Fatherland, he came to America before he attained his majority. He received his education in the schools of his district, and when still in his 'teens learned the trade of nail-making, which was also that of his father. He was twenty years of age when he came to America, December 14, 1880, having decided, as had his father, to try his fortune in the United States. Having come with his father to Oil City, Pennsylvania, he worked for the Oil Well Supply Company until May, 1881, when he went to McKean County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged as a pumper on a lease for his brother-inlaw, Henry Suhr, at Bells Camp. He remained with Mr. Suhr until 1884, and then was employed by F. W. Mitchell, of Franklin, Pennsylvania, as a pumper for one year, and upon the purchase of the Mitchell lease by the Howe Brothers, he continued to work for the new owners for an additional year. In 1886 he went to the Kane fields of McKean County and was in the employ of the Kennedy Brothers until the fall of 1887. In the spring of 1888 he went to Duke Center, McKean County, where he purchased twenty acres of land and began to produce oil on his own account. He afterwards added to his holdings, until he had about one hundred and fifty acres of valuable oil property.
Mr. Schorman, in addition to his own private oil-producing business, had vested interests in other concerns. He was a member of the firms of Schorman & Schorman & Stover, and Golden, Schorman & Fisher. He was one of the organizers, and was a director of the Penn Brick Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania, which had a modern plant on High Street in that city. The concern was engaged in the manufacture of high-grade building and paving brick.
He was a member of the Oil Men's Association, and the Oil Men's Club. He belonged to the Bradford Rotary Club, and was actively engaged in the work of the Presbyterian Church at Bradford, of which he was an elder.
