General Notes: Wife - Henrietta Virginia Morrow
"Mrs. Vandergrift was a lady of most exemplary life and conversation. A sincere Christian, she delighted in doing good both 'in season and out of season,' and in reflecting upon others who stood in need of a generous share of the prosperity she enjoyed, and which she administered with a full consciousness of the responsibility its possession entailed. Her interest in the young was marked. At Oil City the many young men who had left their homes for employment, and who were exposed there to the excitements and temptations which beset life in all newly opened fields of enterprise, were objects of the deepest solicitude to her. A profound believer in the saving influence of home life, she unhesitatingly opened her home to them, and gave them at all times a kindly and maternal welcome. Her moral influence over them was very great. . ."
