General Notes: Husband - John Harold Moyar

---

He graduated from the Edinboro Normal School and studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College, but not caring for the profession, entered and finished a business course, engaging and following along the lines of his father in the oil producing and contracting business in the fields of Venango and adjoining counties in Pennsylvania.

He spent his early years at his birthplace, meanwhile attending the public schools of the locality. Later he took a course at the Edinboro State Normal School, in Erie County, PA, and after his graduation from that institution in 1909 was engaged in the oil fields, where he established a well merited reputation as a reli­able drilling contractor. In the course of his drilling operations he naturally learned of attractive opportunities for investment in oil properties, and took advantage of them judiciously gaining some valuable interests in that line, his production work proving very profitable. He was well known in social and fraternal connections, holding membership in the Wanango Club, the local lodge of B. P. O. Elks and the Masonic fraternity, associated with Fraternal Lodge, No. 483, F. & A. M., of Rouseville, and Venango Lodge of Perfection in Oil City.
