man) Pahls, both of whom died at Cincinnati, Ohio. The father was a 
cerpenter by trade. The children of the family are four in number: 
Henry; William; John B., whose name heads this sketch; and Angeline, 
Who is a sister in the Convent at Oldenburg, Indiana.
   John B. Pahls attended School in Germany and there at an early age
learned the trade of carpenter, which he followed until he was 
seventeen years of age, when he accompanied his family to the United 
States. They located at Cincinnati, Ohio, where John learned the baking 
business. He was a lad of ambition and was not content to work for 
others. In time he established a bakery of his own in that city, and 
conducted it for thirteen years. In 1904, he removed to Portsmouth, New 
Hampshire, where he has lived continuously since. The Model Bakery, of 
which he is proprietor is all that its name would imply. It is a model 
of neatness and its equipment the most modern known to the trade. Two 
ovens are used and the daily output totals some 2,000 loaves of bread, 
150 pies, and a large assortment of cakes and cookies. Five men are 
employed, and a wagon makes the rounds of the streets of Portsmouth. 
Mr. Pahls is the owner of a fine brick business block at the corner of 
Daniel and Penhallow Streets, and also is owner of a fine residence in 
Portsmouth.   In 1893, John B. Pahls was united in marriage with 
Angeline Brunklaus, a native of Germany, and they have three children: 
Cecelia, Bernard and Francis. Mr. Pahls is independent in politics, but 
takes a deep interest in all that concerns the city and its welfare. He 
and his family are devout Catholics. Fraternally he is a member of the 
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.
