Daily Republican, June 13, 1966

Jacob Scholl, 95, Parker Ford, well-known former railroader, died Saturday 
night in the Pottstown Hospital, where he had been a patient since May 29.
 
Son of the late John and Angeline Roberts Scholl, he was born in Pughtown and 
was a graduate of the former Hawley Academy, Pughtown and the Arms Private 
School, Pottstown.
 
He was the last living employe (sic) of the old Delaware River and Lancaster 
Railroad, which became defunct many years ago.  He was freight agent and 
ticket agent at Pughtown station and also had charge of the mails at the age 
of 18.
 
He and his father owned and operated a creamery.  He also had an interest in a 
coal and feed business.  He married the former Annie Grubb in 1896 and the 
couple resided at “Buena Vista” farm, a 47-acre estate in Pughtown.  Here they 
had a butter, egg and milk route.
 
Mr. Scholl was an avid Republican and never missed voting from the time he 
became of age.  His wife died 11 years ago and he went to live with his 
daughter, Mrs. Ambrose Malenke.  He was a member of Brownback’s United Church 
of Christ, Spring City Rd.
 
In addition to Mrs. Malenke, he is survived by two other daughters, Mrs. Grace 
Miller Seuss, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Wilmer Hahn, West Cedarville Road, 
Pottstown RD.  Also 15 grand children, 21 great grand children and one great-
great grandchild.  
 
Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 in the White Funeral 
Home, Parker Ford, with burial in Brownback’s Cemetery. Friends may call at 
the funeral home tomorrow night from 7 to 9.
