Enlisted as a Private while a resident of Plattsmouth, Nebr. on June 11, 1861; mustered out November 3, 1863; transferred to Company A, 1st Nebraska Cavalry on November 6, 1863; mustered out July 1, 1866. John Wahl, age 40, of Saunders County married (2) Maria Cuda on February 15, 1869 at Omaha, Nebr. by a Justice of the Peace. 1860 census (Plattsmouth, Cass County, Nebr.): John Wahl (32, taylor, born Wurttemberg), William Lumka (22, taylor, Prussia). 1870 census (Township 17 Range 5, Saunders County, Nebr.): John Wahl (42, farmer, Wurttemberg), Mary (wife, 40, keeps house, Bohemia). 1880 census (Linwood Precinct, Butler County, Nebr.): John Wahl (52, farmer, Wurttemberg), Mary (wife, 50, keeping house, Bohemia), Emily (daughter, 8, Nebr.), Annie (daughter, 6, Nebr.). '''''''''''''' The Schuyler Sun (Schuyler, Nebr.), May 8, 1884, p. 5, col. 3 John Wahl of Skull Creek, Butler county, recently became entangled in a sulky plow while the team ran away, being dragged quite a distance, and was so badly injured as to require his leg amputated. On the 26th ult. he died. ''''''''' The Nebraska Signal (Fairmont, Nebr.), May 15, 1884, p. 4, col. 1 From the David City Tribune we learn that John Wahl, of Skull Creek precinct, Butler County, came to a horrible death last week. We quote from the Tribune : The cause of the accident, as was told us by Dr. Murphy, who amputated the injured limb, was as follows: The neck yoke, by some cause became detached from the tongue, which dropped to the ground, at which the team became frightened and started to run, which, together with the tongue dropping down, threw Mr. Wahl forward to the ground and in front of the plow. In some way he became entangled in the plow and frame, and his right leg received a terrible gash, either from the share of the plow or the rolling cutter, besides having portions of his body bruised and scratched, and his legs partly severed. When aid reached him it took over a half hour to extricate him from the plow, it having to be partly taken apart in order to get him out. LATER. – Mr. Wahl continued suffering until Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, when death came to his relief.
