General Notes: Husband - James P. Cassidy

---

Utica, Venango Co, PA

When three years of age his parents moved to Sandy Lake township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. There he grew to manhood and learned the blacksmithing trade, which stood him in good stead when oil was discovered on Oil creek, as it was men of like mechanical genius who brought about the new order of things that pertained to drilling for petroleum. Leaving his home for the oil regions when the spring-pole was the engine that sent the drill on the way to the oil-bearing rock, he followed "gigging it down" to use the phase of that day, until this mode of drilling was superceded by the steam engine, the last well to be drilled by this method by his company being near where the Big Rock bridge spanned the Allegheny river.
