General Notes: Husband - Andrew D. Gates

---

From early youth he was accustomed to life on the Allegheny river, finally became a pilot, and served in that capacity until the decline of steamboating on that stream. When the oil excitement began he was caught in the craze, he and his brother sinking a well on the old homestead and securing sufficient oil to produce a sale of the farm for thirty-five thousand dollars. He followed farming until 1871, after which time he was a resident of Emlenton, Pennsylvania. He dealt in real estate and oil lands for three years and then opened a shoe store. He continued in the business about nine years, was afterward in the oil business about two years, and then bought a livery stable of J. A. Boozel, and engaged in that business.
He was an Odd Fellow, politically a Republican, and a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
