This bio talks about the person that the town of Zahl was named after and town write up was posted/approved by Wikipedia back in March of this year. The last line of my write up reflects that the town of Zahl was named after Doc Zahl who was a notible homesteader, Sheriff, US Marshal and Mayor of Williston ND........... "At the time of Doc's death, February 10, 1918, he was operating a large cattle ranch near the town in North Dakota which bears his name."

hope that helps out

take care -db

 * Just curious... do you know of any seismic recordings that were picked up closer to the epicenter? Columbia was pretty far from the action. Binksternet (talk) 18:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I got your email note but I will respond here. Yes, I know how to put an image in the article. I don't know if the one you have selected is the best one for the article, as it shows up very tiny in thumbnail mode. Binksternet (talk) 18:29, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
