The Roanoke Times, Roanoke, VA, Anniversary Edition, September 9, 1899 WALLER P. HUFF A Successful Merchant &
Youngest Member of the City Council. Mr. Huff, the well-known
merchant and Councilman, was born in Floyd county, this State, on September
4, 1865. He worked upon his father's farm until 1882, when he came to Roanoke
and secured a situation as clerk in a store. Realizing that he could not
reasonably expect to secure a competency by working for other people at
moderate wages he engaged in business for himself, and very soon judicious
advertising made the firm of Waller Pocahontas Huff & Co., dealers in
coal, lumber and builder's material, well and favorably known all over
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. In 1890 Mr. Huff decided
to abandon the retail trade and formed a copartner ship with R. N. Angell,
under the firm name of Huff & Angell. They enjoy a large trade and rank
high in commercial circles. Mr. Huff was elected a
member of the City Council from the First ward in May 1890 Although the
youngest man ever honored with a seat in that body, he is chairman of the
health committee and member of the sewerage and public property committees.
Ho rarely misses attending a session and takes a deep interest in all that
pertains to the welfare of the city. In 1890 Mr. Huff
established a humorous weekly magazine in Roanoke and christened it the
"Cosmocrat." It soon attained great
popularity and a wide circulation. Its local hits were a brilliant success
and its editorials bright and crispy. It attacked abuses in official circles,
but while it was severe, it was always fair. The pressure of other business
matters prevented Mr. Huff from giving the Cosmocrat
the attention its growth merited, and he reluctantly abandoned it to the
regret of its hundreds of admirers. Mr. Huff is liberal and
public-spirited. He is an officer or stockholder in nearly every
manufacturing enterprise in the city, and to his energy and foresight the
success of some of them are largely due. He never hesitates to subscribe to
the stock of any enterprise that will provide work for the people who are
seeking it and add to the commercial importance of Roanoke. He has succeeded
well in business and possesses valuable property. For a number of years Mr.
Huff was exclusive agent of the Pocahontas Coal Company for this city, and
always taking advantage of opportunities for humorous adverting, he signed
bis name Waller Pocahontas Huff, and has since been known among his friends
as " Pocahontas." The P. in his name stands for Preston, however. In politics Mr. Huff is a
Democrat, but liberal in his views. He is an ardent and successful worker for
the candidate of his choice and has the satisfaction generally of seeing him
succeed. In politics, as in business, his judgment is sound and his methods
above reproach. 1900 Residence: Roanoke City, VA, District 92, Ward 1, Crawford
