General Notes: Husband - Perry Alvin Oakes

---

He attended schools at Sugar Lake and Guys Mills, Pennsylvania. In earlier years he was a farmer, but in 1879 he began working on an oil lease at Duke Center and also operated an oil well for himself. In 1884 he removed to Mount Alton, where he was a driller until he removed to Rew City and purchased a lease there. Selling it at a profit, he bought another lease at State Line. In 1892 he removed to Mount Jewett, where he was engaged in oil well drilling until 1898. In 1899 he obtained a lease on which he developed fifty-five producing wells, drilling fifteen of them himself. Mount Jewett became his home in 1892, and he early became a Republican in politics and a trustee of the Methodist Church.
