General Notes: Husband - John Friggle

---

He remained in his na-tive land up to the age of eighteen years, when he enlisted for service in the Crimean war. He was in the army for six hundred and twenty-six days, being a member of Company Ten, in the Engineer Corps. In 1865 he came to America, landing at New York City, whence he proceeded to Quebec, but after a month's stay there located at Rochester, New York, where he spent a year. Then he came to Venango County, Pennsylvania, and soon acquired valuable interests at Oil City, having a line of boats for the transportation of oil down Oil creek, as well as several teams of horses engaged in the same work. This business was so remunerative that he continued it for many years, meantime, in 1872, establishing his home on a farm in Cranberry Township, formerly known as the White property, later as the Brannon place. Here he had one hundred acres of valuable land, and was profitably engaged in its cultivation until his retirement. Though thoroughly public-spirited and loyal to the best interests of his locality, he preferred to exercise his influence in matters of government indirectly, having no desire for the honors of office. However, he served a term as road master, performing his duties with the same care as he bestowed on his private affairs. [HVC 1919, 883]
