BROTHER DIES
Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Beidenbach and family of
Lewisville were summoned to Miltonsburg Saturday to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Beidenbach’s brother, Ralph Wahl, 28,
who died Thursday at Gallipolis.
Joe was always referred to as the baby of the family. His death in World War II was very hard on his mother Abby.
Otto Wahl does not appear in any census with the Wahl family, nor is he listed as a family member by researcher Betty Hartley. Robert Wahl (grandson of Frederick and Apollonia) says that if there was an Otto, he must have died in infancy.
Casper Biedenbach fought in World War II, then moved to Burbank, California to live with his Uncle Clarence Biedenbach.
