General Notes: Husband - Louis Maier

---

He was reared to maturity in his native province, and in the national schools of his fatherland he received his educational training. After leaving school he devoted his attention to cabinet-making until 1880, when he decided to take the same course as had so many of his countrymen, and he came to the United States, landing in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, September 15. In that city he found employment and there continued to make his home for a period of twelve years, during the latter portion of which period he was engaged in hotel business, while in the meantime he married and established a home for himself. He removed in 1892 from Baltimore to West Latrobe, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he erected the Hotel Maier, which he then conducted. The building was an attractive and substantial frame structure of three stories, and was well arranged and admirably equipped for hotel purposes.
In his political sympathies Mr. Maier was an advocate of the principles of the Republican party.
