Judge Louis Stahl, superintendent of the yard for the T. A. Miller
Lumber Company, at Bolivar, is a native of Munich, Germany, where
he grew up and received a good college education.  In his native 
city he met Mrs. Anna Brass, nee Bay, who was a native of Albany,
New york, but who was visiting in Europe, and they soon became
fast friends, then husband and wife.  Having sailed for America,
they landed in New York in 1867, where Mr. Stahl engaged in the
lumber business, and this continued until 1881, when they moved
to Seward, Nebraska.  There he also ran a lumber establishment,
and was quite a prominent man, having held the position of police
judge of that city for some time.  Since coming to Polk County, 
Mo., he has been superintendent of the lumber yard of the above
mentioned company, and does an extensive business, handling over
600,000 feet of lumber and over 1,000,000 shingles.  He is one of
the most successful business men of the county.
