General Notes: Husband - George P. B. Carr

---

He was educated in the public schools of his native town, and then worked there in the machine shops for a time. In 1870 he came to Titusville, Pennsylvania, and there entered into a partnership with his brother, William M., in the grocery business, their store being located on South Franklin street. They conducted this very successfully for a period of eight years, until Mr. Carr, who had been gradually drifting into the enterprise of oil production, decided to devote his entire time to this field of activity. He became a “wild-catter,” and, following the course of the oil fields, became the owner of wells at Sistersville, West Virginia, being one of the men who opened the field there. He was very successful, and also had wells in Indiana and Illinois, and was a partner of the meat packer, Mr. Cudahy. He was a strong Republican, and took a deep interest in local public affairs. His fraternal relations were with the Order of the Maccabees and the Free and Accepted Masons. He and his family belonged to the Methodist church.
