P.M. Wallover, died 1910

I'm thinking that this Wallover might be a son of Peter Wallover and a brother to William Wallover?


"P.M. Wallover, aged 86 years, one of the pioneer petroleum refiners, died Jan. 28th at the home of his son, Robert A. Wallover, at Smith's Ferry, Pa. ...He was born in Philadelphia and early became interested in paper manufacture near that city, continuing in this business until 1854, when he went to Beaver County, Pa to operate a paper mill... In 1860 he purchased property at Smith's Ferry, and began to drill for oil."

At least I figure this is "Peter Marvin Wallover" found here at findagrave:

Birth: Mar. 5, 1824
Death: Jan. 28, 1910


Inscription:

Burial:
Georgetown Cemetery
Georgetown
Beaver County
Pennsylvania, USA

And then his wife's name is Margaret Wallover 1829-1903.
