Inez Lucretia (Keefer) Anderson
b. 1878-07-13, Perry Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania
d. 1946-11-21, Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania
Born 13 July 1878 in Perry Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania — western Pennsylvania’s oil and farming country, north of Pittsburgh. Married John Wallace Anderson on 27 April 1900 in Pittsburgh; she was 21, he was 35 and had been widowed for four years. Died 21 November 1946 in Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania, age 68 — Oil City being the historic center of the Pennsylvania oil rush that had defined the regional economy since 1859. The Anderson Farm at Leeper, Clarion County where John Wallace was buried after her death is near her own Clarion County birthplace, suggesting the family’s later-life base was on Inez’s home ground.
