General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Sheasley


He was given excellent educational advantages, first attending the public schools of Franklin, PA, later Lititz Academy, in Lancaster County, and taking his higher course at Andover, MA. For a time he was engaged in the lumber business, until he entered the Lamberton Savings Bank at Franklin, where he was employed for a period of seven years. Then he went into the oil business, with which he was thereafter con­nected, not only as an extensive producer, but also as president of the Producers' Supply Company of Franklin, which operated a large plant. The company dealt in hardware, and carried on the manufacture of oil well sup­plies, also dealing in that line. Mr. Sheasley was one of the owners and vice president of the Bessemer Refining Company, of Titusville, PA, whose oil was piped to Titusville. Later this was sold to the Crew Levick Company, of Philadelphia, refiners and exporters, owned by the Cities Service Company of New York, and Mr. Sheasley was a director of same. He was also a director and general manager of the Macy Engineering Company, manufac­turers of aircraft controls and stabilizers, whose plant was located at Franklin, PA; secre­tary and treasurer of the Venango Printing Company, printers, and publishers of the Ve­nango Daily Herald, and in view of these sev­eral connections was considered one of the influential business men of the county. Like his father he was a high Mason, holding member­ship in Myrtle Lodge No. 316, F. & A. M.; Venango Chapter No. 211, R. A. M.; Keystone Council No. 42, R. & S. M.; Franklin Commandery No. 44, K. T.; Pittsburgh Consistory, thirty-second degree; and Zem Zem Temple, at Erie, PA. Socially he belonged to the Elks and to the Franklin Club. [CAB, 536]
