He didn't like either of his names and chose to be called "Brick", for his red hair.

Residing in Clinton Twp, Venango Co, PA, in 1919. He and his brother Homer have been very successful in the management of their own and their mother's interests. Their joint holdings amount to six hundred and fifty acres, rich in oil and coal, and Mrs. Simcox has left the operation of part of her oil lands to her sons, leasing the rest to others. Her sons drilled the first well put down in this section for the second sand oil. [CAB, 540]
