General Notes: Husband - Samuel Foltz
He was brought up and received an education in Butler County, Pennsylvania. At an early age he formed a desire to become a lawyer, and so studied the fundamental principles of legal procedure under the direction of his wife's uncle, Charles C. Sullivan, and was admitted to the bar from that gentleman's office. He became interested in the iron business in the eighteen-fifties, and with his father-in-law, William Stewart, owned and operated the Margaret and Will-Roy furnaces in Butler and Lawrence Counties respectively, until 1865, when Mr. Stewart moved to Pittsburgh, and Samuel Foltz went to the city of New Castle, where he made his home until death, which resulted from injuries he received in a run-away accident. During all the years of his residence in New Castle he retained large interests in the various industries that were related to the manufacture or iron. In 1873 he organized the private bank of Foltz & Long, and a year later bought stock in the First National Bank of New Castle, becoming president of the latter bank, and remaining in that position until his death.
After his decease, his business interests were looked after by his three sons-William S., Le Roy S., and Samuel. They were associated with him in the private banking business previous to his death, and afterwards carried on the Foltz Bank until 1883, when it was consolidated with the First National Bank.
