General Notes: Husband - Frank Weitz


He succeeded his father in the meat business, as he had served an apprenticeship from the age of fourteen, and established himself at Wampum, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, from which point he sent a wagon through the country and built up a good trade at Hazel Dell and the surrounding towns and villages. When Ellwood City was incorporated and laid out as a city, Mr. Weitz saw the opening, and in 1891 with characteristic energy he built a house and store, which were unfortunately destroyed by fire in the following year. Undaunted by the loss, Mr. Weitz rebuilt on the site, and created a structure that was a two-story affair, containing the market on the ground floor, and living rooms above. He kept a variety of meats, both fresh and salted, fish and everything that pertained to his business. Mr. Weitz was a Democrat and his family belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a member of the Junior O. U. A. M. of Ellwood City.
