HOBART A. STROUP - As a drilling contractor in the Pennsylvania and New York oil and gas fields, Hobart A. STROUP continues his connection with an industry in which he has been active since he was a boy...

Mr. STROUP was born at Lafayete, McKean County, on February 6, 1900, son of Harvey J. and Edith (NEWTON) STROUP.  His father, who died on April 21, 1939, was born at Richardsville and came to the oil region of the State shortly after the early excitement, spending the rest of his life here.  He was also active in the general life of Bradford, his home for many years, and was prominent fraternally in the Odd Fellows, the Elks and the Masonic Order, in the latter of which he was affiliated with all higher bodies of both York and Scottish rites.  Edith (NEWTON) STROUP, the mother, was born at Newton and is still living.  She is a granddaughter of William F. ORMSBY, who drilled the first well in the Ormsby field and for whom the town of Ormsby is named.

Hobart A. STROUP received his preliminary education in the public schools of Bradford and subsequently entered the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1930... 

Mr. STROUP is an independent Republican in politics and is affiliated with the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity.  He is a member of the Valley Hunt Club, the Bradford Club and other organizations of this area.  In 1918, during the World War period, he enlisted in the United States Army and has also served an enlistment of three years in the 108th Field Artillery, Pennsylvania National Guard.

On June 21, 1934, Mr. STROUP married Mildred SMITH, who was born near Lock Haven, daughter of S.H. SMITH, long an active figure in Bradford.
