operators in the local oil field, died
yesterday at 1:40 p. m. in The
Emery, where he had been a resident
for the past 10 weeks. He was
born March 12. 1854 in Evans, N.
Y., and moved to this vicinity with
his family 52 years ago. He was
employed as an oilwell worker in
the Derrick City and Red Rock
fields and gradually established
himself as a property owner and
producer. At one time he was one
of the largest independent producers
in this section.
Mr. Piper retired from active
participation in the oil business
about three years ago, when his
health started to fail. He received
treatment at Bradford Hospital
until the time he moved to the Emery.
Mr. Piper is survived by two nephews
A. D. Piper and W. T. Piper of this
city, and several nieces and
nephews in Buffalo and Rochester, N. Y.
