General Notes: Husband - Peter A. Rust

---

He was educated in the public schools in the vicinity of his home, and at the age of seventeen years left that section and went into the oil fields of Ohio near Gibsonburg. In association with his brother, Daniel Franklin, he drilled the first oil well in that region. Subsequently he went to Petoskey, Michigan, in order to drill for oil, and while thus engaged discovered a wonderful artesian well, around which a park was later built. Later he returned to Gibsonburg, Ohio, where he purchased considerable land in the oil region. At the time of the death of his father he sold out his oil interests, and purchased the old homestead at Woodcock borough, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and removed to it. He erected a fine dwelling on the place, in which he resided. The farm consists of one hundred and eighty acres, and was cultivated for general produce and dairy farming.
At one time he was a member of the Pennsylvania State Guard, from which body he received an honorable discharge.
