OriginalNotes: Huntington Democrat, 24 Dec. 1896, Thursday, p. 12 - Obituary for James Wilhelm.
Services held Wed. at home. "Cap" Wilhelm has an interesting history, and was a prominent character in the early history of Hunington. Born at Huntingdon, Pa., in 1819. Employed by portage railroad in pulling trains over Alleghany mountains. He was a Huntington for some time previous to his coming here in 1856 to reside. He brought a boat from the Pennsylvania canal down to the Ohio and up to the Eri canal. He also had a photograph gallery, which was a novel thing in those days, when he first came to Huntington. For a considerable time he was a partner in the elevator firm of Purviance & Co.
