Historical Context
This company was incorporated in 1863 in Pennsylvania, and operated oil drilling and refining operations during the Pennsylvania oil rush.
The company owned properties 30 miles east of Pittsburgh where oil deposits were shallow and permitted easy access for the crude technology of the day.
As the oil boom waned, this and other small companies left business through decreasing revenues or being bought out by conglomerates like Standard Oil.
