General Notes: Husband - Frederick P. Foltz

---

He learned the trade of a carpenter, and worked at his trade for a few years. In 1857, he formed the colony that went from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, to Kansas, but owing to the disturbed condition of the country, he returned to Chambersburg. In the closing years of the Civil war he removed to Abingdon, Knox County, Illinois, where he became a leading citizen and a prosperous business man. He took a conspicuous part in all matters pertaining to the advancement of Abingdon, and was prominently concerned in securing the construction of what became the Iowa Central Railroad, of which he was a director; he also acted as collector for the Company for some time, in which capacity he was very successful. He was among the first to erect modern brick business blocks in the city of Abingdon, and built and owned the Foltz Opera House. He was the owner of much valuable property in the city. He was a pioneer in the introducing and manufacture of tile for drainage purposes, and was a member of the first manufacturing company formed for that purpose. He was a stockholder in the Abingdon Paving Brick and Tile Company. Mr. Foltz was a druggist and was in the business beginning in 1865. He was the discoverer and manufacturer of a valuable antiseptic germ-destroyer and pain alleviator called "Presto." In politics Mr. Foltz was a Republican and was a member, at various times, of the city council.
