General Notes: Husband - Edward Henry Jennings

---

As a young man he became associated with his father in the production of petroleum and was thus engaged to the exclusion of all other activities from 1872 until 1891. In the latter year he became a member of the firm of E. H. Jennings & Brothers, which for many years was one of the leading concerns in the oil industry in Pennsylvania.
In 1893 Mr. Jennings became associated with the Columbia National Bank, of which he was one of the founders, and came to hold the office of president. He was also associated with numerous other companies throughout the state, and among the most important were the Delmar Oil Company, of which he was treasurer and a director; the Dollar Savings Bank, of which he was a trustee; the Emerald Coal and Coke Company, of which he was a director; the Citizen Savings Bank, of which he was a director; the Jennings Mines Company, of which he was president and a director; the Jennings Oil Company, of which he was president and a director; the Kanawha Oil Company, of which he was treasurer and director; and the Manufacturers Light and Heat Company, of which he was a director.
In politics, Mr. Jennings was a strong Independent, but could never be prevailed upon to accept political office. He was a member of the Duquesne Club. In religious affiliations he was a member of the church and takes an active interest in all its affairs. [PH, 14]
