General Notes: Husband - John Oesterling

---

When was two years old, his parents moved to Brady's Bend, in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, but he remained with his grandfather, for whom he was named, and continued to reside with him until the grandfather died, when he was twelve years of age. He then joined his parents at Brady's Bend, and when they removed to another farm some five years later, he accompanied them. During his five years at Brady's Bend, he learned a trade in the rolling-mills at that place, but after coming to the farm, never resumed work at his trade. He followed farming, exclusively until 1887, when he entered into the oil business and subsequently, at different times, engaged in oil contracting. He did drilling, in addition to his farm work, but later sold his oil tools to his son, John A. Oesterling, who did a large amount of oil contracting. Mr. Oesterling and his family resided on their farm in Summit Township beginning in 1898.
He and his wife were members of St. Mark's Lutheran Church. He took a great deal of interest in the public schools in his township and served for some years as a school director.
