General Notes: Husband - William Henry Rader

---

He always lived on the family home farm, which he inherited at his father's death. At the age of twenty years he began working in the oil fields, teaming and drilling for some years, but farming was his main occupation in life. Twenty-seven wells were drilled on the farm, without a dry hole, and he had six producing oil wells on this farm; he also had an interest in various other wells in the vicinity. He and his brother Lewis were owners of the Rader Gas Company at Petersville, and together they own a tract of 640 acres in Lawrence County, mostly coal, limestone and timberland, which they purchased in 1902.
