John Washington Steele, more commonly known as "Coal Oil Johnny," was Petrolia's prodigal prince.  He inherited at age 21 properties of his adopted parents, including his boyhood home and their very productive oil farm along Oil Creek between what is now Rynd Farm and Rouseville, Pennsylvania.
Journalists in Philadelphia coined the handle "Coal Oil Johnny" for him, reflecting his love for his custom carriage that had black oil derricks spouting dollar symbols painted on its red doors.
