Listers: I acquired a copy of an obit from the Daily Centinel Tribune, Bowling Green Ohio dated Sat Feb 21, 1931 for William STAHL, "Former mayor of Risingsun, dies". At his date of death he was 82 and the services were held at the United Brethren church conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. J. Mericle. I have a William STAHL in my database, who married Elizabeth THORNTON in 1906. I'm wondering if the obit is for my William's uncle as it doesn't list my William as a son. It does list his children: Mrs. I. J. Hill, Mrs. Otho Bragg, Miss Vera Stahl, Merrill, Chalmer & Everett Stahl (sons.) Does anyone have any of these folks in their database? Nancy Plain
Hi Nancy - Our index of the Wood County census of 1900 and 1910 do not show any William Stahl. We do not show any burial record of William Stahl or Elizabeth Stahl in our tombstone indexes in Wood County. RisingSun is on the border with Sandusky County, in fact the county line goes right down the middle of town. It could be he lived in Sandusky Co. When I get to Bowling Green this week, I will see if there is anything special about Rising Sun that might help.
