General Notes: Husband - Oscar K. Burns


He was very young when his father died, nevertheless he received average educational advantages, augmented by his experience at the printer's trade, which he learned at Brookville, PA. He was so occupied for four years, and later spent some time at Titusville, PA, where he was engaged in the real estate business. His next location was at Sandy Creek, where he started a store which he carried on for eighteen months. At the time of his marriage he made his home at Smoky City, three miles below Franklin, Venango County, where he remained eleven years, meanwhile becoming interested in the oil business. Thence he removed to a farm in Sandy Creek Township, this county, upon which he resided for the next twenty years, farming during this period and also producing oil, which he found upon his land in paying quantities. His tract of eighty-three acres yielded a fine income both in agricultural and oil operations, and he had a prosperous experience there, as well as four years of profitable oil operations in Lawrence County, PA. On his removal to the city of Franklin he built a fine home at No. 810½ Elk Street, which he occupied until 1918, later residing at No. 1212 Buffalo Street. Though a busy man, he always enjoyed recreation, especially fishing, to which he devoted many pleasant hours after he withdrew from active business cares. [CAB, 891]
