Two old timers of Bellevue "talking things over." At the left is William Stoll, 83, Civil War veteran and at the right is A H Nagel, 69. Its always fair weather when good fellows get together. Rain or shine "Old Bill" never fails to stop in for a chat when he happens in the neighborhood of 217 Fairfield av. Bellevue.

Stoll who is now 83 years old, fought three years of the Civil War. He served in a cavalry unit of the Union army. Nagel and Stoll both came to Bellevue from Cincinnati in 1873. Stoll engaged in the book binding business. He remained in that trade until turning his shop over to his son, William C Stoll, 25 years later.

When the Home Savings, Loan and Building Association was formed in 1889, Stoll was one of the charter members. Shortly after, he was elected vice president of the Association and held that office until being elected seven years ago.
