General Notes: Husband - William B. Magee

---

He received his education in the subscription schools of the period. At the early age of nineteen years he began to learn the tanner's trade in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, which he followed for six years, and then pursued his trade on his own responsibility in a tannery located on his father's farm in Butler County. In 1836 he engaged in the grocery business in Allegheny City and continued with good success until the fall of 1859, when he moved to Venango County and drilled the second oil well in a neighborhood about seven miles below Franklin along the Allegheny river. He subsequently became interested in a number of oil wells along Oil creek, and never ceased to invest in the production of oil. In 1876 he commenced dealing in flour and feed and was successful. He served as school and bank director while in Allegheny City. He became identified with the Reformed Presbyterian church at the early age of thirteen years and with his wife continued to support that organization.
