General Notes: Husband - Stewart C. Peebles

---

He lived in Plum Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, from the time the family settled there in 1837. His educational opportunities in the new home were naturally limited, but he was a man of exceptional enterprise and ability, and became one of the most successful residents of the township in his day. Though engaged in various lines of business at different times, as a real estate dealer in Titusville, and to some extent in the production of oil, the bulk of his accumulations was acquired by his operations in agriculture and stock. His energy was untiring, and his judgment in regard to stock conceded by all to be authoritative, while his word in all transactions was unquestioned. After several years of trading, buying and selling property at Titusville, as well as building, there was a change in conditions which left him with considerable property on his hands which he had to carry for several years before he could realize on it. His oil ventures were not notably profitable, but his extensive farming interests, about the largest in the vicinity, always paid well, and he ac-quired over three hundred acres of land. In 1854, he settled at the farm where his son, James B. Peebles, later resided, in Cherrytree Township, six miles south of Titusville, then a tract of 160 acres. In 1868 he removed to an adjoining place of 200 acres, where the work of clearing and improving was prosecuted vigorously, this be-ing the property later owned by Port W. Fulmer. All the buildings thereon were rebuilt by Stewart C. Peebles about 1880. He was a popular official for a number of years, filling many of the town-ship offices creditably, and he was an esteemed worker in the church, which he attended with his family. [CAB, 658]
