General Notes: Husband - Jennings Coulter McCandless

---

Connoquenessing Twp, Butler Co, PA
He was reared in Center Township, Butler County, PA, and with his brothers and sisters, attended the country schools. His mother died when he was five years old and when his older sisters married and left home, he also, about 1865, started out for himself. He spent three years in Michi­gan and Wisconsin, but when the discov­ery of oil made the Parker field known all over the country, he returned to Butler County and went to work at Parker's Landing. He helped to develop that field and for fifteen consecutive years was en­gaged in oil production at Bruin. In 1890 he came to Petersville, in Connoquenessing Township. In partnership with his brother-in-law, William Walker, he did a large amount of business, under the firm name of Walker & McCandless, and for a short time this firm had the distinction of owning the biggest well in Pennsylvania, one that flowed thirty-five barrels of oil an hour.
