General Notes: Husband - Joseph King Dale
At an early age he began farming and teaming. In 1856 he removed to Rockland township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and located on a farm. In 1860, he removed to Cranberry township, at "Two Mile run," where he began drill-ing an oil well, having but eighty dollars capital. This well pro-duced three barrels per week. The same year, later in the sea-son, he sank another well on the Cochran farm, which issued thirteen barrels per day. In 1861, he drilled the third on the same farm, producing eighty barrels per day. Oil at that time was selling at $13 per barrel. In two weeks subsequent to strik-ing oil he sold one half of his interest (being one-fourth) for $2,500. In November, 1864, he purchased another farm, con-taining one hundred and sixty acres. He began to drill for oil on his land in 1872, with a marked degree of success. There were eventually thirty wells, yielding an aggregate of one hundred barrels per day, on his farm. He also had adjacent to this farm a piece of ground of forty-nine acres with thirteen wells, producing from one to ten barrels per day. His farm was located four miles east of Franklin, on the turnpike road to Clarion. He and wife were members of Victory M. E. Church. [HVC 1879, 587]
