General Notes: Husband - Oswald A. Rader

---

He was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, grew to manhood in his native place, and in 1834 immigrated to the United States and settled in Kentucky. In 1838 he located in Forward township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased what was later known as the Marshall Brinton farm, and lived on it for ten years. He then purchased another homestead in Forward township, containing 200 acres, which he cleared and brought under cultivation. In 1887 oil was discovered on his farm, and it soon contained several wells, some of which produced as high as 200 barrels per day. In politics, he was a Democrat, and in religious faith, was an adherent of St. John's Lutheran church, of Petersville.
He filled the offices of overseer of the poor, school director and auditor.

When twenty-three years of age he came to America and settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
