Edwin Drake was born on March 29, 1819, in Greenville, New York. He was in the oil business, and never patented his drilling processes. When Drake was drilling for oil, water kept flooding the hole. To fix this, he drove an iron pipe down to bedrock and put a drill in the pipe. This kept the water from entering the excavation shaft. He died on November 9, 1880, in Bethlehem Pennsylvania.
