General Notes: Husband - David Ready

---

He came to America when a boy of eleven with his sister, several years older. They made the voyage to New York by sailing vessel, and proceeded directly to Canada, going first to Ontario, and from the original location to Rockwood, near by (Mr. Ready named the place on the Pennsylvania road in Venango County, where he had his quarry, Rockwood, it being later changed to Rockmere). He remained in Canada until after marriage, farming, and not long afterward removed to Michigan, where he was also engaged in agricultural work. Coming to Oil City, PA, during the oil excitement, in 1865, he made a per-manent settlement here, building both houses which he occupied, the second eventually becoming the home of his son George, at No. 151 West Third street. He operated the Oil City quarries below the Oil City Hospital, and for a number of years had his son George associated with him in this business, which became an important local industry. Mr. Ready took a public-spirited interest in municipal affairs, representing both the Fourth and Sixth wards in the council, of which he was a mem-ber twelve years. He was affiliated with Latonia Lodge, No. 1018, I. O. O. F., Oil City, and held membership in Trinity M. E. Church. [CAB, 635]
