Irony of fate touches Dr Beacom district and oil hopes
The district shifts from moral suspicion to economic fever as oil prospects surge. Reports describe drilling near Forest Grove and Westview, with fields at Jollz Brothers, Grey and Au Oul Co. expanding, while several wells show varying depths and results. Nearby towns like Coraopolis bustle with speculation, hot prospects, and a growing belief that a parsonage strike could fund missions.
