General Notes: Husband - Louis Walz

---

He was born in Gammalsbach, Germany, and came to the United States in 1867. He was a carpenter and millwright by trade, and worked thereat after coming to America until 1887. In that year he came to Oil City, Pennsylvania, from Titusville, where he had lived since 1868, and accepted the position of manager of the Independent Refining Company. He remained with this company about three and one-half years, then sold out and erected the Continental refinery. At the end of about one year he retired from the Continental, and in July, 1886, formed a partnership with Messrs. Suhr and Justus. With Mr. Walz as general manager, this company proceeded to erect the Penn Refining Works, one of the most thoroughly equipped concerns of the kind in the Oil creek country. They had a capacity for about two hundred thousand barrels of crude oil per annum, and employed from sixty to eighty men.

He was a Republican in politics, and was active in Good Hope Lutheran Church as a member of the church council and in other capacities.
