General Notes: Husband - Wessel Brodhead

---

He was attracted to the oil regions of western Pennsylvania in the eighteen-sixties, found Franklin life congenial and located there, engaging in the buying and selling of leases. After a time he resumed work at his trade, cabinetmaking, doing the fine woodwork in many of the old buildings of Franklin, such as building stairways, window frames, etc. His skill as a mechanic gained him a fine reputation, and he became identified with much of the earlier history of the city. Although he had retired from business some years before his death, yet he always retained an interest in every phase of activity.
