General Notes: Husband - Samuel Grandin
He attended the district schools until he was about ten years old, and then served an apprenticeship at the trade of tailor, which he followed continuously for twenty years. In 1822 having determined to seek larger opportunities in a new field, he removed from his native state to Pennsylvania, which was then considered the west, and settled in Pleasantville, Venango County, where he worked at his trade until 1840, achieving a large degree of success. He then removed to Tidioute, Warren County, and instead of following his trade turned his attention to the lumber trade, and rafted large quantities of timber down the Allegheny river, continuing along this line until 1860, a period of twenty years, and by perseverance, close application to business and straightforward methods amassed a fortune, which was the direct result of his own efforts, unaided by capital or influential friends, as at the beginning of his active career his entire stock consisted of "a pair of shears and a lapboard." When he first located in Tidioute, he erected a saw mill at the foot of Gordon run, established a general store, which he conducted for a number of years, and purchased thirty-three acres of land, from which was taken the greater part of the timber he shipped. He disposed of this land in 1868 to Brown & Grove, who subsequently sold it to the Tidioute & Warren Oil Company, and it proved to be one of the greatest oil territories in the vicinity of Tidioute. He also purchased a portion of the Arters farm, upon which he erected a substantial residence. He was a member of the Universalist church, to which he contributed liberally, and in politics cast his vote for the man who in his opinion was best qualified for office. He was frequently urged to accept public positions, but always declined the honor. He gave his hearty support to the development of local educational institutions.
