General Notes: Husband - William H. Cubbins


His father died when he was five years old and he was reared by his mother, with whom he remained until he was fourteen, at which time he started out to make his own way in the world. Upon the first opportunity offered, he emigrated to America and went to Venango County, Pennsylvania, where there was plenty of work to be found in the oil regions. Later he went to Pittsburgh and for several years worked for a large oil company in their refining department, during all this time gradually learning details of the business which subsequently made him a successful producer on his own account. In 1877 he came to Troutman, Butler County, where he first engaged in oil production, and in 1880, he settled on a place in the northwest corner of Allegheny Township and continued his oil enterprises. While in Venango Mr. Cubbins had charge of the first glass still that restored sulphuric acid to the same condition that it was in before it had been used for refining oil, so that it could be used over for the same purpose.
He and his wife were members of the Scrub Grass Presbyterian Church. He was a man of pronounced temperance views and in politics, was a Republican.
