Tionesta Offers A Candidate For Oldest Oil Man
Tionesta Republican nominates Justice D W Clark of Tionesta for the oldest living oil man contest by the International Petroleum Exposition in Tulsa Oklahoma this fall. Clark, aged 86 in 1927, began drilling in 1860 at the mouth of Indian Camp Run on the Allegheny River, later served in the Civil War, and resumed oil work in Siverlyville. He claims to have drilled a well to about 300 feet with early equipment and notes oil sands were unknown at the time.
