Oldfield Couple Key Figures in Sigler Well Tale

Mrs. Oldfield kept house for five men while Mr. Oldfield drilled in the afternoon tower, with road conditions often halting material delivery. After a quiet winter, a lone observer failed to grasp the milestone when the oil spouted, delaying news for days before company officials allowed public notice. The couple were in Vernon over the weekend and planned a Alexandria visit before returning.
