General Notes: Husband - Erasmus H. Randolph


He was reared at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in private and the common schools of Butler County. In 1858 he went to Kansas territory, where he worked for three years at the plastering business with his brother Joseph V. From 1861 to 1864 he was traveling over the western territories and during the winter seasons of that time was engaged in teaching. The death of his father, in 1865, rendered necessary his return home, where in a short time he bought a portable sawmill, which he operated for three years in Butler County. In July, 1869, he came to Parker City, where he was engaged successfully in the oil business for some ten or twelve years. In 1870 he established a livery business. In addition to his livery stable, Mr. Randolph owned considerable real estate in Parker City. He was an unswerving republican, but liberal in his political views. He served his city as mayor for two terms (1880 to 1884) and as a councilman for several terms. He was the first city clerk of Parker City, which he also served as overseer of the poor. He was a member of Parker City Lodge, No. 521, Free and Accepted Masons.
