General Notes: Husband - Birt Shoup

---

He grew up in Franklin, PA, and had excellent educational advantages, and when ready to enter business life turned to the field in which so many of his family had found remunerative occupation, having every opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge of the highest value relating to his chosen work. His first operations were on the old Hoover farm on Bully Hill, and his labors extended from the home locality to Butler, Clarion and Mercer counties, Pa., including a large amount of drilling as well as exploitation and production. He also drilled in the Bessemer fields in Ohio, where he operated in partnership with C. H. Sheasley. Mr. Shoup's success has averaged high, a fact which may be attributed largely to his intimate knowledge of the details of production and his ability to estimate oil lands accurately, combined with practical experience in production which enables him to apply the best methods for maximum results. He is a business man, first and last, giving little time to outside interests. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and fraternally holds membership in the local lodge of B. P. O. Elks.
