NOBLE COUNTY
IN REVIEW

Petroleum (crude oil) was first
found in Noble county-ln ONO, IN
the United States and perhaps IN the
entire World-the find having been
made one miles east of the present
site of Caldwell. This was In 1914.
Robert Mckee, one of the early
pioneers, began drilling well Tor
salt water and struck crevlce con-
tanning oil. Silas Thorla, father OF
BENJAMIN Thorla, who resided In
Olive until his death many years
ago, was attracted from Virginia to
the spot and engaged In the manu-
facture of salt, which sold at S2.OO
per bushel at that time. Oh was
separated from the salt and much
of the oil waas gathered by peddlers
and sold under the name of Seneca
OIL" so named because the Seneca
Indians were known to have used
some sort of oil for medicinal pur-
poses. The peddlers sold the oil as
a remedy for rheumatism and kim
dred ailments, for greasing of carts,
etc.
In August, 1859, Col. S. L. Drake,
acting for syndicate of capitalists,
struck oil near Titusville, Pa. Short
ly after brakes discovery, David
Mckee, of Noble county, visited the
oil regions in Pennsylvania, and
while in conversation with some
business men in Pittsburgh he was
shown a sample of the oil and re-
marked there was plenty of that
stuff on Duck Creek in southeastern
Ohio, where he lived" and promised
to send them some of it, which he
did, and soon followed the great de-
velopment of oil in this part of Ohio
The discovery of petroleum in
Noble county gave rise to the later
immense development of the terri
tory in the Macksburg community
which continued for many years
and even to the present day con-
siderable quantities of the fluid is
still found thereabouts. In the early
1880's many tank carloads of petrol,
cum were daily hauled north over
the c. g. M railroad through Cald,
well to the eastern markets.
To James Dutton belongs the dis.
tinction of being the first man t.
