General Notes: Husband - Henry Wahl

---

He spent his boyhood days on the farm, which he aided in clearing. He had very limited educational advan­tages as his assistance was needed at home, and early became inured to hard work, he and his brother, William, starting in to haul coal before they were able to harness the horses. He resided at home until his marriage, then purchased a farm of fifty-one acres in Forward Township, Butler County, of the Grahams; he later sold this property and returned to the home place of 120 acres which he farmed for his father. He re­mained there until he purchased another farm of seventy-one acres of Henry Ziegler, and here he engaged in gen­eral farming and stockraising, although he also gave considerable time to the oil and coal business, in which he was very successful. He had a fine brick resi­dence, and the farm was well equipped with other substantial buildings and improve­ments so necessary to the successful prose­cution of farming. Re­ligiously, the family belonged to the Luther­an Church, in which he was an officer for more than twenty years. Politically, he was a Democrat, but was inclined to be in­dependent locally, giving his support to the man best fitted for the office. He served as school director and was the first supervisor elected under the new law.
