JOHN W. MAUL

  John W. Maul passed away at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, August 5, at his home 
on Center Street, after a long illness.  He had been brought home on Saturday 
after several weeks spent in the Hazel McGilvery Hospital, somewhat improved in 
condition.  On Tuesday morning he suffered a heart attack and died a short time 
after.
  He was born in Somerset County, the son of John and Magdalene (Deist) Maul, 
natives of Germany.  His father, an expert tailor, established a tailor shop in 
Meyersdale in which his sons, John and Freemon, learned the trade and which they 
took over at the father's death.  Maul Brothers were widely known as fine 
tailors and had a large patronage, customers coming as far distant as Pittsburgh 
to have suits tailor-made in their shop.  Some time after the death of his 
younger brother in 1934, John Maul retired from business.
  He is survived by his sister, Miss Sue Maul, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Freemon 
Maul.
  Friends will be received at the family home where the funeral will be 
conducted Friday afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. H. K. Hilner, pastor of Zion Lutheran 
Church.  Interment in Union Cemetery under the direction of W. C. Price & Son.
