He has been identified officially with the Barnsdall Oil Co., the Union Natural Gas Corporation, Pittsburg Oil & Gas Co., Wildwood Oil Company, Southern Oil Co., Kansas Natural Gas Co., and several other big concerns.
In the Osage District in Oklahoma, he formerly was the largest single owner of leases, but in 1915 much of this territory went to other interests, the Interior Department having failed to renew his leasehold rights. However, he still had large acreage and production in that district. He was a resident of Pittsburgh for many years, but his varied interests required his presence in many places and he did much travelling. He had included foreign countries in his journeys and was closely in touch with oil and gas affairs at home and abroad “Thede” Barnsdall was a man of large stature, being almost in the giant class and having a tireless disposition, never spared himself in the matter of work. He was a business man of broad capabilities. Personally he was generous and amiable. He is survived by the following near relatives: Two daughters Miss Ailene Barnsdall of Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Robert Law of Pittsburgh; one sister, Mrs. Charles W. Snakard, of Titusville; one half sister, Miss Lucy Cleland, of Providence, R.I.. The funeral services were not completed Tuesday evening other than that the body would be brought to Titusville for interment in the fam- ily mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery.”
