General Notes: Husband - William James Brundred

---

He was born and reared at Oldham (later Haledon), New Jersey, learning his father's business, which he attempted to rehabilitate and continue after his father's death. But it was so involved owing to the failure of the Mexican government to pay its obligations that he could not get it on a profitable basis again, and he turned to other lines, going to Greenport, Long Island, and Woods Holl, Massachusetts, where he became interested in the manufacture of fish oils. Accordingly he was attracted to Pennsylvania with the discovery of oil in this region, where he sank what capital he still possessed in eighteen dry holes which failed to yield the expected returns. He became agent for the Green Line, and later for the Empire Transportation Company, in connection with the Pennsylvania railroad, holding that position until his death, of apoplexy, when he was sixty-four years old. He made his home in Oil City, where he was a vestryman of Christ Episcopal Church for a number of years, and he and his wife were among the most highly esteemed residents of the town, exerting a beneficial influence in all their associations.
