General Notes: Husband - John C. Williams

Emlenton, Venango Co, PA

He obtained his education in the district schools of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and assisted on his father's farm until he was about twenty-four years of age, when he came to the oil fields at Petrolia and secured work there. After several years in that section he went to the Venango County fields, where he became an oil producer in Scrubgrass Township, and later went to the northern part of Allegheny Township, Butler County, where he found excellent business encouragement and remained as an oil producer for ten years. From there he came again to Scrubgrass Township and continued in the oil business, having his son, Edwin M., as a partner. The firm of Williams & Son was known all through the oil territory.
In politics, Mr. Williams was affiliated with the Democratic party. He belonged to the Maccabees and the Modern Woodmen of America, being connected with the Emlenton lodges.
