General Notes: Husband - Miles Wall
Curwensville, Clearfield Co, PA
He obtained his education in the district schools of Penn township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in boyhood walking two miles to attend. Later he assisted his father in carrying on the farm until 1882, when he moved to Curwensville and embarked in the agricultural implement and fertilizer sale business and still later became interested in a planing-mill and general job works and so continued until the spring of 1910, when he retired, after a successful business career.
He was reared in the Society of Friends and was a member of this quiet, peaceful religious body. "In 1900 Mr. Wall began to realize that he possessed a spiritual gift that enabled him to lead many of his fellow beings out of what seemed to them the darkest depths of disease and pain. The realization of this gift must have been as a wonderful revelation. Mr. Wall has not hidden his light under a bushel but has devoted himself to helping those who come to him for healing and it is estimated that he now is called on to treat an average of 500 cases monthly. People come from points 100 miles distant and it is not recorded that any patient has ever gone away unhelped both physically and mentally. Mr. Wall modestly denominates himself a Faith Healer. He charges very moderately those who can afford to pay but treats the poor without money and without price and more than that, never permits inclement weather to prevent his attending a patient who solicits his help. He has not placed himself at the head of any cult although his remarkable success indicates that some mighty force is at work that might develop into a vigorous religious movement."
He was a member of the Royal Arcanum, a beneficiary society. In politics he was a Republican and for at least five years was a member of the borough council, of which he was was president for some time.
