General Notes: Husband - Hugh W. Shaffer

---

He remained on the home farm up to the age of sixteen years. He attended the local schools, and spent his time out of school in the customary duties of the farm until it was decided that his services would be more valuable in the oil business, which he followed as his father's assistant for the next six years. When twenty-two years old he joined his uncle, William M. Shaffer, with whom he was in partnership in oil operations for the next thirty years, under the firm name of William and Hugh Shaffer, engaged in drilling and production, with wells in Cranberry Township. Mr. Shaffer is still operating wells in Cranberry Township, devoting his time chiefly to this business, which he has followed alone or with various other partners besides his uncle, including O. D. Bleakley and Harry Lamberton. He is well known among oil operators in this section, and his standing has never been impaired by questionable transactions or haphazard methods, his business ability being recognized and respected by all who have had dealings with him. On questions of general importance he is well informed and liberal in his judgments, and he takes a sincere interest in the public welfare. His political allegiance has been given to the Prohibition Party, and in 1915 he was candidate for county commissioner on that ticket, losing by such a small majority as to indicate that he had many friends in all parties. His religious connection is with the Baptist Church. [HVC 1919, 811]
