91. EDITH⁵ CULBERTSON (Alexander⁴, Francis³, John², Unknown¹); born November 1862 in Oil City, Pennsylvania; died 1931; married 14 November 1888 in Oil City SAMUEL M. JUSTUS, born 31 January 1836 or January 1838 in Punxatawney, Pennsylvania.¹¹³⁹ died 1920.

Their marriage license reports Samuel as a broker living in Oil City and his parents as Joseph and Martha Justus. Samuel and Edith did not have children. However Samuel and first wife, Mary E. Morgan, born 20 April 1862, died January 1886, had child Flora Agnes Justus, who married Louis Seymore McKinney and had child Samuel Justus McKinney. In 1900 (page 13B), 1910 (page 4A), and 1920 (page 19A) Samuel and Edith lived in Oil City, Pennsylvania. By 1930 (page 1A), Samuel had died, and Edith was living in Oil City with a Harriet Porter, widow, companion, born circa 1860.

Samuel Justus was a Civil War veteran (Company A, 5th Ohio Cavalry). According to his Civil War pension records, Samuel was 5 feet, 6 inches tall, complexion fair, gray eyes, and red hair.¹¹⁴⁰ Samuel got in on the ground floor with the Penn Refining Company, being one of its original organizers. Through this and other businesses, he acquired a fortune, and left an estate in the millions of dollars. Culbertson (1923) reported that part of Samuel’s fortune went into building and maintaining a home for orphan children of Venango County, Pennsylvania.¹¹⁴¹ The orphans home, with its rather stringent requirements (e. g. no illegitimate children, no children from other countries, and the orphan required to remain in the home until age 16) in fact was never built. But several projects were funded. For example, there is a Samuel Justus Recreational Trail along the Allegheny River in Venango County, Pennsylvania. This area is part of the State of Pennsylvania’s Oil Heritage Region, an area also including the Drake Well Park and Oil Creek State Park.

There was also an Edith Justus Trust set up my Samuel’s second wife Edith (Culbertson) Justus. Here is an item from Charles D. Martin’s book The Oil City, 1971:¹¹⁴²

The Edith Justus Trust was set up by Samuel Justus’s second wife. Edith was the daughter of Alexander Culbertson, a well-to-do oil producer and a member of the Oil Exchange. Her will left a large trust whose income has brought many benefits to the people of Oil City and Venango County. One of the most recent is the Edith Justus Park now under construction downtown next to the State Street Bridge, on land provided by the city.

There was another early Oil City Culbertson family. This family can be traced to William and Nancy Moore Culbertson of Warren County. Their children included Jackson Culbertson, James Culbertson, Robert Culbertson, William Culbertson and Elias Culbertson (listed as Elijah in the 1900 soundex for Pennsylvania Culbertsons¹¹⁴³). William [Sr.] married (second) Jane Strong and they had two daughters, Nancy Jane Culbertson and Minnie Culbertson. Elias Culbertson was born 1833 in Warren County, died 1906 in Oil City, buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City (a short obituary appeared in the Citizens–Press of Franklin, 15 November 1906). Elias and first wife Harriet (Marsh) had two children: Almos Elias Culbertson and Orie Culbertson. Orie Culbertson married 2 September 1889 Mrs. I. H. Mott of Brooklyn, New York.¹¹⁴⁴ Elias and second wife Elizabeth Jane (Mohnkern), born 27 October 1851 in Clarion County, died 1921 in Oil City, buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City, Pennsylvania.¹¹⁴⁵ They had three children:¹¹⁴⁶ Mary Eva (Dickson), born January 1876 (not enumerated with Elizabeth and family in 1910); Warren Lee Culbertson, born November 1879, died 19??, buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City; and Lawrence B. Culbertson, born June 1887, died 1952, buried in Grove Hill Cemetery. There is a biography of this Culbertson family, especially Warren Lee Culbertson in Babcock (1919), pages 903–904, and my information comes from this biography. I can find no relation between these Oil City Culbertson and our Culbertsons of Venango and Crawford County.

95. HARRY⁵ HOLLAND CULBERTSON (Hamilton⁴, Francis³, John², Unknown¹); born September 1864 in Pennsylvania; died 1940; buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City;¹¹⁴⁷ married 7 April 1892 (in Oil City) LOUISA CATHERINE EICHNER, born June 1864 in Pennsylvania;¹¹⁴⁸ died 1951; buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Oil City.

Harry, Louisa and family lived in Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania in 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930, where Harry was listed as a bookkeeper in 1900, a superintendent of a milling company in 1910 and 1920, and having no occupation in 1930. Also living with the family in 1920 was Louisa's mother, Anna E. Eichner, born circa 1841 in Pennsylvania. ¹¹⁴⁹ According to Harry and Louisa’s marriage license,¹¹⁵⁰ Louisa’s parents were Frederick and Elizabeth Eichner; both Harry and Louisa were reported from Oil City, and Harry was listed as the Controller of the City of Oil City.

John Dewey sign, Oil City

Harry Holland and Louisa Eichner have the distinction of attending the Central Avenue High School in Oil City at the time that the Assistant Principal was John Dewey, who would become the father of progressive educational philosophy in North America. The school is marked by a State Historical Marker, which also lists the two graduating classes during John Dewey’s two-year tenure at the school.

JOHN DEWEY
Marker was dedicated July 20, 1980 and located at Central Ave. and W. 4th St. in Oil City. It reads: "After graduation from the University of Vermont in 1879, the noted philosopher, liberal, and advocate of progressive education (1859 - 1952) taught for the first two years of his distinguished career at Oil City's first high school, located on this site."

John Dewey was born October 20, 1859 in Burlington, VT, son of Archibald Sprague Dewey and Lucina Artemesia Rich. After graduation in 1879, Dewey taught two years at the Oil City Central Avenue High School, during which the idea of pursuing a career in philosophy took hold. He earned his graduate degree at Johns Hopkins University and received his doctorate in 1884, after which he taught at the University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Chicago and at Columbia University. Two of his publications- How We Think (1910; revised ed. 1933), an application of his theory of knowledge to education, and Democracy and Education (1916) believed to be his most important work in the field. He was deeply involved in women's suffrage and the unionization of teachers. He died June 2, 1952 at the age of ninety-two.

The Central Avenue School was the first high school in Oil City and was erected about 1878. John Dewey is listed as assistant principal on the commencement programs of June 7, 1880 and of June 10, 1881. Miss E. A. Kent and Miss Affia J. Wilson are listed on each as part of the three-member staff. The graduating class for 1880 is listed as being Bessie I. Williams, Louisa C. Eichner, Seymour J. Dunn, Charles T. McClintock, Harry H. Culbertson and William S. Smith. The class of 1881 listed as its graduates: Stella F. Duncan, Carrie H. Wright, Effie P. Ross, Ida M. Irvin, Ella McConnell, Tirzah L. Hill, Ida R. Plotts, Jennie A. Berry, Sadie S. Boulton, Alice M. Green, G. B. Swisher, Charles E. Graham and William R. Duncan.
In 1898, the school was converted to a grade school. After the school board closed the building, the city of Oil City acquired this site in 1955 and removed the two upper floors and remodeled the first floor to house the fire station and headquarters.

Note that the Charles T. McClintock listed was not of our McClintocks. He was Charles Tyler McClintock, born March 1863, a child of C. W. and Elizabeth (Tyler) McClintock. See the section Two other early McClintock families of Venango County, Pennsylvania.
