General Notes: Husband - Richard Vensel


He grew to maturity on the homestead farm, and received a common school education. About 1877 he began as a contractor in the oil region, and put down and operated many wells in the Millerstown field. He applied himself diligently to his business, and by energy and shrewd business tact he acquired a handsome competence. He was a member of St. Paul's Reformed church, at Oak Grove. Politically, he was an unswerving Republican, and took an active interest in political affairs.
With his third wife he had six children, three were still living in 1895.
