General Notes: Husband - Emery Jackson "Jack" Boals

---

He had public school privileges, and like most boys of the day commenced work early, learning the practical business of life as his father's assistant and receiving thorough preparation for self-support. When he married he began housekeeping on the tract where he now [1919] lives, and which had been owned by his father for twenty-five or thirty years. At his father's death he was given eighty-seven acres there, and during the twenty years and more of his residence on the place has put up all the buildings now standing there, except part of the house. There is considerable oil on the farm, but the rights are leased to others, who operate forty wells. Mr. Boals also inherited one third of his father's old home place, two miles away, and practically all his time is devoted to the oil operations there, which he carries on with his brother, and which are increasing yearly under their progressive management. About twenty-one years ago the brothers began exploiting the oil resources on the property. Now they have thirty-one producing wells in an area of one hundred and fifty acres, with room for one hundred more and development going on as fast as their judgment dictates. The average yield compares favorably with the production in the locality, their work having been well rewarded.
Mr. and Mrs. Boals are prominent in the membership of the East Grove M. E. Church, in which he is a trustee and class leader. Like his brother he is well known in Odd Fellow circles, belonging to the lodge, encampment and canton. For the last ten years Mr. Boals has been correspondent for the Franklin Evening News, and he was also associated with the Oil City Derrick in that capacity until 1918. [CAB, 913]
