  • The Drake Well Memorial Park
    THE DRAKE WELL MEMORIAL PARK BY PAUL H. GIDDENS Curator, Drake Well Memorial Park, Titusville, Pennsylvania O N AUGUST 27, 1859, Colonel E. L. Drake completed the first v well ever drilled for petroleum about two and one-half miles south of Titusville, Pennsylvania. The completion of this oil well marks the beginning of the petroleum industry, not only in the United States but in the world, and Titusville became its birthplace. From the time Drake completed his well until 1914 various movements originated in the northwestern Pennsylvania oil region to honor Colonel Drake and to memorialize this epoch-making event. In the main, these movements have taken three forms; one proposed to erect a monument to Colonel Drake; a second pro- posed to preserve and mark the site of the Drake well; and the third contemplated something more than simply marking the site of the well with an inanimate marker. The first movement realized its goal on October 4, 1901, when a magnificent monument to the memory of Colonel Drake, the generous gift of Mr. Henry H. Rogers, was unveiled and dedi- cated in Woodlawn Cemetery, Titusville. Within a short time, the body of Colonel Drake was exhumed at Bethlehem, Pennsyl- vania, and removed to Woodlawn Cemetery. The second movement, one for preserving and marking the site of the Drake Well, was inaugurated by Canadohta Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Titusville. The first prob- lem in connection with this movement was to secure the land upon which the site of the Drake Well was located. Mr. David Emery, a pioneer oil producer and one of those interested in erecting a suitable monument on the site, had bought the land, and drilled the hole down to the third sand.

Janicki aster model maker Andrew S. Janicki lives in Georgetown, Pennsylvania, and is a member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. Although his interest in Mmodel making goes back as long as he can remember, most of his model building skills were perfected on a large train display in his parents’ basement. In his adult years, he served in the U. S. Air Force and worked as a draftsman and industrial model builder for an engineering firm. Always a lover of history and historic places, Janicki has visited every state in the Union as well as 15 foreign countries. For the past several years he has been a re-enactor with the Legion of the United States, which, under the leadership Gen. “Mad” Anthony Wayne, camped at Legionville, now in Baden, before the “Battle of Fallen Timbers” (see page 2 of this newsletter). Janicki is pictured at right in a Legionnaire’s uniform; his model of Legionville will be on display in Sewickley Valley Historical Society headquarters. In 2000 and 2003, Mr. Janicki helped Beaver County put together the program to welcome the Eastern Legacy of the Lewis & Clark Journey. In May 2004, he participated in the Discovery Corps II Expedition from Wood River, Illinois, to Camp Ike Skelton National Guard Training Center in Missouri, portraying Pennsylvania native Private Patrick Gass, the member of the Corps of Discovery who outlived all the others.
