  • A History of Henry R. Rouse 1823 – 1861
    A History of Henry R. Rouse 1823 – 1861 Preserved and distributed by: The Rouse Estate 701 Rouse Avenue Youngsville, PA 16371 814-563-7565 | rouse.org The following history of Henry R. Rouse was written by local oil historian and columnist Ernest C. Miller. It was originally published by the Warren Times-Observer. Date of publication is uncertain, perhaps the 1960’s. The Story of Henry Rouse – It is safe to assume that most Warren County residents have heard of the Rouse Home at Youngsville, and believe that someone by the name of Rouse had something to do with it: that is true. But Henry R. Rouse was totally responsible for it and the story of his life has never been completely told. This is an attempt to do just that and to give Rouse the honor that is overdue him. The casual motorist traveling along Pennsylvania’s Route 8, just north of Oil City in the region of Rouseville, a few years ago would have seen an octagonal yellow sign perched atop an iron pipe planted close along the highway. Neither the sign nor the locality was impressive. Surrounding the site stood the ruins of an obsolete oil refinery with the iron guts of the plant twisted and rusted. The sign read, Famous Rouse Well Drilled in April 17, 1861 15 lives Lost 13 Seriously Burned The old barrel house of the defunct Crystal Oil works serves as a fitting backdrop for this only visible remembrance of the first great oil disaster. The sign disappeared some time ago, but friendly natives will point out the spot for you.

    WATTSBURG BOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Erie County, Pennsylvania WATTSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL and WATTSBURG BOROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION 1973 1 Allen Phelps - Mayor WATTSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL Arthur Fosburgh - President Eugene Cdmbs - Vice President Darlene Duda - Secretary Raymond Tanner George Wilkins Victor Yost John Baroth Dale Henry WATTSBURG PLANNING COMMISSION Earl Duda Ronald A. Brown Thomas R. Lijewski Phillip Vandercoy Danny Hawley PLANNING CONSULTANT Erie Metropolitan Planning Department Christopher Capotis Executive Director TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is simple; it is intended to serve as a guide for the future development of the Borough of Wattsburg. The local planning commission, Borough Council and the citizenry of Wattsburg Borough should become familiar with the contents of this comprehensive plan. Such understanding is essential in order to carry out the recommendations of this I Plan. Wattsburg Borough is a small rural community; it is not beset with I the problems which are inherent in larger municipalities, such as the City of Erie. Crime, unemployment, severe social problems and the rapid develop- ment of open land by market speculators are a few problems that Wattsburg Borough has managed to escape because of its rural identity. However, basic 1 problems do exist, and must be dealt with at the present if the Wattsburg community is to evade their continuing effects in future years. Retaining the quality of the existing housing stock and the future need for a communi- ty sanitary sewerage and water distribution system are probably the two fore- most basics which must be dealt with in the future and planned for at pre- sent.
