General Notes: Husband - Gordon S. Boals
He had the ordinary advantages for education and training enjoyed by the youth of the day, and learned the blacksmith's trade as well as agriculture. After his marriage he lived for a few years on the Jersey farm in Sandy Creek Township, selling his interests there in 1865 and removing to Franklin, where he remained two years doing mechanical work. He was engaged as a stonemason, and as such helped to build the first cellar wall in Oil City, the courthouse at Franklin, and the old M. E. Church there. About 1867 he purchased the farm in Sandy Creek Township which was ever afterward his home. The place was cleared when it came into his possession, and a barn had been built, but all the rest of the improvements were the result of his labor. He was a thrifty general farmer, doing well in his agricultural operations, and also had a couple of oil wells on the property which augmented his income considerably. However, it was left for his sons to exploit that resource. Though he retained his residence on the farm to the close of his life, he lived retired during the last ten years. Mr. Boals was a worthy citizen and a good neighbor, a member of the Pleasant Grove M. E. Church and one of the most respected men in his locality. He was a Democrat on questions of public policy.
