   WILLIAM H. SCHOLL cigar manufacturer, P.O. Quakertown, is 
one of the leading business men of the borough. He was born 
February 24, 1841, in Richland township.  He was the only 
son of John Scholl and Euphemia Kichline.  His grandfather 
was John Scholl, who was born near Indian creek.  Our 
subject's maternal grandfather was Jacob Kichline.  William 
was brought up on a farm and remained here until he was 22 
years of age, and learned the cigar-maker's trade 
thoroughly, and worked journey-work for several years.  In 
1867 he engaged in business for himself in this township and 
located here in 1872, establishing the factory he now owns. 
From a small beginning he has built up a good business, and 
employs about thirty hands, and is doing an excellent trade, 
all the result of his own endeavors.  He was married in 1864 
to Leanna, daughter of Michael and Lovina (Kern) Blank.  He 
has six children living:  Henry, Lillorah, Emmarina, John 
F., Howard and Arthur.  Mr. Scholl is a member of the 
Reformed church at Trumbauersville, and a member of Secona 
Tribe, No. 263, Imp. O. of R. M., and is one of the highly 
respected citizens of the community.
