  With the commercial and financial history of Chattanooga the name of Fred F. Wiehl is closely associated but not only was he a prominent figure in business circles but was also widely known as a friend to the man in need, constantly assisting worthy projects yet without ostentation or display. He passed on September 1, 1900, and a life of great activity and usefulness was thus ended. Mr. Wiehl was born at Zelienople, Pennsylvania, May 27, 1840, and was laid to rest in the National cemetery of Chattanooga through permission granted by special act of congress. His parents were Hyacinth and Hannah (Firestone) Wiehl, also natives of Pennsylvania, and it was in the Keystone state that Fred F. Wiehl was reared and educated. In early manhood he engaged for one year in the hardware business at Newcastle, Pennsylvania, as the employe of Cyrus Clark and then returned to school for a short time. In the early part of 1865 he came to Chattanooga and after devoting a brief time to the oil business he formed a partnership with B. F. Fritts in organizing the Fritts-Wiehl Wholesale Drug Company, of which Mr. Wiehl was made vice president and so served until his death. A business of substantial proportions was developed. Mr. Wiehl also became president of the Chattanooga Wagon Works. He was likewise president of the Chattanooga Water Company and his activities were always of a character that contributed to public welfare and to public prosperity, as well as to individual success. He was the first president of the Bank of Chattanooga and so continued until his death. He was long an important figure in financial circles.
 The military chapter in the life record of Mr. Wiehl was an interesting one. When but a youth in his teens he joined the Union army as a member of Company H, Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania Infantry, which was assigned to the Fourteenth Battery Corps, and he served throughout the Civil war in defense of the Stars and Stripes, rose to the rank of lieutenant and at all times manifested valor and unfaltering loyalty to the country. He was always interested in the welfare and progress of the city in which he made his home, and cooperated heartily with all plans for its upbuilding. For many years he was a member of the city park commission.
  On the 20th of January, 1869, in Chattanooga, Mr. Wiehl was united in marriage to Miss Kate Foster, a daughter of George D. and Rachel H. (Rogers) Foster of Pikeville, Tennessee, representatives of old pioneer families of the state. Mrs. Wiehl's father built the first pike on Lookout mountain, having organized a company for carrying on the project.
  Mr. Wiehl was president of the Mountain City Club, was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, belonged to the Masonic fraternity and gave his political allegiance to the republican party. He ranked as one of the sterling citizens of Chattanooga throughout the period of his residence here. He was noted for his philanthropy, which was unobtrusive in character yet most liberal. He gave freely but with discrimination to those in need and young men who were in trouble or needed a friend could always count on him. He helped them cheerfully with money or with advice and his life, by reason of his uprightness, his kindly spirit and his helpfulness was a blessing to all with whom he came into contact. Mrs. Wiehl, like her husband, is always a friend of the poor or those in trouble. She was one of the organizers of the Old Ladies Home and is now its vice president. She is also the vice president of the Young Women's Christian Association. While active in the social life of the city in former days, being a member of the Kosmos and other clubs, since her husband's death she has devoted herself to her home and her charities, the latter being given so quietly and unostentatiously that her best friends are unaware of their magnitude. She retains her interest in the Fritts-Wiehl Drug Company, of which she is the vice president, and she is very active in church work, being a member of the board of stewards of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal church, South.

 St. Paul's German Lutheran Church was organized in 1822, with H. W. GOEHRING, Casper O. MULLER and P. L. PASSAVANT, trustees; Jacob GROSS, Daniel FIEDLER, Fred PEFFER and Jacob HEBERLING, wardens; Christian BUHL, George HARTZEL, A. GOEHRING and John LAMBERT, vestrymen; with Philip JUNG, G. MUNTZ, F. MUNTZ, F. WIEHL, C. KREIDLER, A. BEYRER, J. REISS, Gottlieb PEFFER and G. J. PFLUG, all of whom are deceased. Rev. J. C. G. SCHWEITZERBARTH, the first pastor, served thirty years. Pastor SCHWANKOVSKY followed, serving four years; then Pastor THEISS, who remained nine years, and lastly, Rev. J. G. BUTZ, who came in 1866, and is still in charge. The first stone meeting house was dedicated June 10, 1827. The corner stone of this building was placed July 19, 1826,--Revs. J. C. G. SCHWEITZERBARTH, N. HAACKE, J. MECHLING, J. H. HOPKINS, J. WINTER, of Harmony, and Rev. Isaiah NIBLOCK, of Butler, assisting in the ceremony. The building, erected by Jacob HEBERLING, contractor, is fifty by thirty-six feet, of a simple [p. 407] Gothic design, constructed of native sandstone. In 1893 a steeple was placed on the tower. This exterior ornament, with the pipe organ and interior decoration, are modern improvements. This church stands on one acre of ground, donated by P. L. PASSAVANT, in addition to the three acres donated by him for cemetery purposes and the parsonage lot. Since 1822 there have been 536 interments in the cemetery, and 2,674 baptisms in the church. Rev. Mr. BUTZ is also pastor of the congregation at Middle Lancaster.

 In Reply to: Weil KY, 1900's by Rob Rappaport of 48
 Juda Weil, born circa 1360 in Spain, fled the inquisition around 1390 and went to Weil der Stadt in Alsace. Most with the surname are his descendants. Some became Christians and one was knighted in England.
