General Notes: Husband - John M. Deitrich

---

He was educated in the common schools of Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He began in the oil business in 1884 by drilling the first well in the Cogley oil field of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and came to Venango County, in September, 1886, where, in company with G. H. Kline, H. M. Hess, Jacob Sneidley, and a Mr. Myres, he drilled the first well in the gray sand oil field, near Salina. He subsequently bought the interests of the other members of the firm and drilled more wells, several of which were good producers. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., and in politics a Republican.
