    Historical Context
    The Morrison Farm Oil Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1865 and had offices in Rochester, New York.
    The company had property in Pennsylvania's Venango County. Despite the oil rush in Pennsylvania at the time, it appears this company never became commercially viable.
