General Notes: Husband - David Leroy Lee

---

He brought to Oil City, PA, in 1861 was reared and educated there. In youth he began to help his father, with whom he followed drilling in the oil fields for a time, getting a practical knowledge of the necessary tools and machinery, which was very valuable to him in the line of work which he afterward adopted. He served an apprenticeship with the Oil Well Supply Company, of Oil City, manufacturers of oil well tools, continuing in their employ for thirteen years, at the end of which time he changed his association to the establishment of Robert Boardman, a similar one. Following Mr. Boardman’s death the company was incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Lee was made treasurer of the new organization, and after the retirement of B. J. McVey he was president and general manager. All sorts of oil well tools were turned out at the plant, including drilling and fishing tools of the most approved design, and the repair department did a large and steady business. He was devoted to business and gave little direct attention to public affairs, though he is an active member of the National Security League and the Red Cross. Politically he is a Republican in principle. [HVC 1919, 757]
