General Notes: Husband - William Wahl


He was reared on his father's farm and received a public school educa­tion. At the age of fifteen years he entered the grist mill at Evans City, Butler County, Pennsylvania, conducted by his father in partnership with Robert Ash, and he continued at that work for eight years. About the year 1878, he opened a hotel at Middle Lancaster and received a license from Judge McJunkin, which he had granted him nine times and trans­ferred once. He moved to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he conducted a hotel for some time and also engaged in the oil business. He continued there some thirteen years, then moved to Evans City in 1899 and opened a hotel. In 1904 he moved to a location at the corner of Pittsburg and Washington Streets, a property owned by him. The Waldorf Hotel contained thirty rooms, equipped and furnished in up-to-date style, and enjoyed a liberal patronage from the traveling pub­lic. Mr. Wahl was also the owner of consid­erable property in the town and was rated among the most substantial men of the place. Politically, he was a Democrat. In religious attachment, he and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church.
