General Notes: Husband - Martin Wahl, Jr.
He and his wife were natives of Germany and early settlers of Forward Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.
He was ten years of age when he accompanied his parents to the United States, they locating in Jackson Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and he lived there with his parents until his marriage, then purchased a farm where Wahlville was located. The latter years of his life were spent at Evans City. He was a hard worker and, starting as a poor man, accumulated a competency, becoming one of the well-to-do and substantial citizens of the township. He purchased his farm at a price of $11 per acre. He operated a coal bank on the farm, and later was engaged in the milling business at Evans City. In politics, he was an unswerving Democrat.
He was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France, and was ten years of age when he accompanied his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania. He immediately began work by caring for Mr. Zigler's stock at Harmony, and spent the remainder of his life in Butler County. He was a man of great energy and industry and accumulated a large property. His old home farm was the site of the town of Wahlville, which bore his name, and in later years he purchased the John Stewart farm in Evans City, which he laid out and sold in lots. He entered actively into the business life of Evans City, aiding materially in its development and growth, and was one of the town's most substantial citizens.
