General Notes: Husband - John Allison Douthett


He received a good common school education, and grew to manhood on the homestead farm. In 1878 he engaged in drilling water wells, and 1882 he became a tool dresser for Charles Neely, and subsequently followed the same business with Johnson Brothers, J. P. Fishel, and others. In 1888 he commenced drilling and pro­ducing in the oil fields of western Pennsylvania, and operated in Armstrong county, and in the Petersville and Callery fields, Butler county; Duff City and Wildwood, in Allegheny county, and also the Harmony field, in Butler county. He was a member of the Evans City Oil Company, and was later connected with the Boggs Oil Company, operating in the Brownsdale and Evans City fields. In politics, he was a Republican, but devoted little attention to political matters. In February, 1894, he was elected a member of the borough council, and also of the school board of Evans City.
