General Notes: Husband - John Bole

---

He attended Duff's Business College and while still in his teens entered the machine shops of his father. He soon became interested in the oil business as an operator in northwestern Pennsylvania where his knowledge of mechanics and an inventive turn of mind led him to become an inventor of oil well tools and supplies. He patented a number of inventions, mainly drilling and fishing tools that came to be in general use in the oil well industry throughout the country.
He was well known as a fancier of fine stock and bred and developed racing horses at his stables on a tract of land which he purchased for the purpose on the Ohio River below Sewickley. His love of the beautiful and the artistic which was developed to a high degree, as exemplified in a small but rare and distinctive collection of paintings, rugs, bronzes, ceramics, and rare editions of fine books.
His letters giving his impressions of a trip around the world in 1910 were collected and published by his daughter, Mrs. McCandless of Los Angeles, California. He removed to Bellevue, Pennsylvani, in 1870.
