General Notes: Husband - William Allen Morck
from Roanoke, VA
He was educated in the public schools of Oil City, Pennsylvania, and at the Hill School in Pottstown. For four years he was associated with the firm of Logan & Bryan, stock brokers at Oil City, following which, in 1932, he came into the Morck Oil Company, owned and operated by his mother. Immediately assuming large responsibilities in the company, he became its manager and continued as such for many years. In taking over the active supervision of its operations he was occupied with wide interests in the western Pennsylvania fields, and his successful record reflected the qualifications which he brought to his post.
Nevertheless, he found time for many civic responsibilities. He served multiple terms as a member of the Oil City Council and proved himself an energetic and capable public official, devoted to the city's interests. He gave special attention to the reorganization and rehabilitation of the Oil City Fire Department, which reached such a high level of efficiency that local fire insurance rates were substantially reduced.
Mr. Morck was also active in behalf of many community institutions. He was a member of the board of the Young Men's Christian Association, a trustee of Trinity Church, a member of the board of Oil City Hospital and Grand View Sanatorium and a member of the Oil City Library Commission. He was also very active in the Oil City Community Fund and served as a director of the Chamber of Commerce. During World War II he acted as chairman of the Venango County Safety Council for National Defense.
In addition to his other connections, Mr. Morck was a director of the National Bank of Oil City. He was affiliated fraternally with the Free and Accepted Masons, in which he was a member of all higher bodies of both York and Scottish rites, and was a member of the Venango Country Club and other clubs in the area.
