General Notes: Husband - Harry Brady Trax

---

He grew up in Oil City, PA, acquiring a public school education there. He learned blacksmithing, and was employed with his father for a number of years, gaining a familiarity with machinery that has been invaluable to him in his own enterprises, particularly after he became engaged in the production of oil, which he began in 1890. His first operations in this line were in Cranberry Township, near Oil City, on land belonging to his father, and after three years in that location he removed to another place in the same township, in the vicinity of Victory, where he owned seventy-five acres, formerly one of his father’s holdings, and which he farmed to some extent, most of his lands being well adapted for agriculture. By judicious management he is getting very good returns for the labor and capital he has expended upon the development of his property. He was a very useful member of the community, exerting his influence wherever it would have the best effect on local affairs. For five years he was a member of the township school board. The Methodist Episcopal Church long counted him among its most valued Sunday school and congregational workers, and fraternally he affiliated with the K. O. T. M., holding membership in Lodge No. 783 at Cranberry. [CAB, 634]
