Death of J no. L. Lick, Tbe Both well
OIIKIiia-
W find Ibe following account of the
death of a Canada OH. Prince in tbe Both
well Review. We believe Mr. Lick lurmer.
ly reaided on Oil Creek:
Our lowo was somewhat startled yeater
diiy mitrnlog by Ibe report that John L
Lick, tbe pioneer ol tbe Botbwell oil bus!
ues was dead. He bad beeo atlacted a few
duv ago by bemorrbage at tbe lunga Ibe
result of aoold affection, but It waa little
thought that daatb was so near. Mr. L ick
came to Botbwell from Pennsylvania In 1861
aod leased 20 acre or tbe Colville farm, ex.
tending back from tbe river where tha
bridge now stands. He tank aeveral ttir
tioe well oo this lot and bought from Hye
lop aod Ronald, of Chatham, tbe Brat steam
engine that waa brought Into the district
He met with poor success aod getting Into
debt, be o:gaolzed a company aud putdowo
what la known aa tbe Old Compaoy Well
From tbla time forward bia aucceat wa won
derHil, and lb fame or the celebrated Lick
well went forth to all part ol Canada and
the Uolted State. He waa reputed to be
wortb an Immense mm, and at one time we
know be had deposited In Mr. Langbtoo's
afeoaab and certificates of dock, lo the
value cf over $100,000. But be waa an in
veterate speculator, aod though looked up
on aa an oracle In oil matters, is said to
bave laoked judgment. Uia fortune waa
wasted In speculations almost a rapidly aa
It bad beeo accumulated, aod there la but
little doubt that bia misfortunes accelerated
bi death. Almost the laat time we saw
bin alive was oo Wednesday of last week
when tbe flood waa al its height; we walk
ed down to tbe bridge aod back lo company
with blin and a number of otters. Our
route lay through tbe aceoes ot bis strug
gles and hit triumphs, and as be pointed
out Ibe sizns ol the various wells and spoke
of these varied fortunes with that apparent
indifference that always characterized bim,
wa wondered what bis thoughts must bave
