General Notes: Husband - John Weir Van Tine
He was educated in the public schools of Westmoreland County and South Oil City, Pennsylvania, continuing a student until he was sixteen. He was engaged in the production of oil all his life, but did not locate in Bradford until 1886. He was a Republican in politics and served as a member of the Republican county and city committee for twenty years. He was a member of the Edgewood and Merchants clubs, the Knights of Pythias, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and an attendant of the Methodist church.
He received a common school education. His early boyhood was spent at Freeport and Oil City, Pennsylvania, and in the early 1870s he moved with his parents to the Shaw farm in Venango County. A neighbor there was John P. Zane, who later became his father-in-law. Mr. Zane was an oil operator and besides his Venango County properties had some oil leases in McKean County. In 1878 Mr. Van Tine came up to McKean County to work for him. In the following year he married Mr. Zane's daughter, at Plummer, Venango County, and returned with his bride to McKean County. They established their home at Gilmore, but after two years moved into Bradford. Meanwhile, Mr. Van Tine was gradually acquiring additional oil properties. Since then he had been an active producer in this field and although his properties for several years had been managed by his sons, he remained one of the best known oil men of the Bradford area.
He was a member of the Bradford district branch of the Pennsylvania Oil Producers Association, had been a Republican committeeman for fifty years and was prominent in local councils of his party. At his death he was the oldest living member of the Epicurean Club. In religious faith he was a Methodist. [HNWP, 98]
