Has anyone researched the "Echos from the oil country" books ?
I finally bought the set of books on discount, and have read thru them.
This is in my backyard (about 40 miles away) and many of the places he mentions, I have driven thru.
It seems the author worked for a time at a shop in oil city, then
struck off on his own.
Besides doing repairs, he mentions building of the "ball bearing corn Sheller" as a product. I've seen a couple hand corn shellers up close, but none
with that name on it.
Has anyone dug around in the oil city, Pa historical archives and found anything ?
