General Notes: Husband - Andrew Carpenter Learn

---

His early years were passed on the farm, and when a young lad he was apprenticed to learn the blacksmith's trade. At the age of eighteen years he was one of the first to join in the rush to the oil fields at Oil City and Titusville, Pennsylvania, and there he became a tool dresser, and later an oil operator, by these means realizing a fortune. He then returned to Pittsburgh, and then established himself on an extensive scale as a blacksmith and wagon builder in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, where he was identified with this enterprise for about twenty years. He then sold his business and removed to Braddock, Pennsylvania, where he took charge of the blacksmith department in the Carnegie Steel Works, a position he filled until six years before his death, when he retired to private life. He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church
