Mr. and Mrs. Edward Paule managed the Western House hotel at Boone's Lick Trail and South Main. This was their first home. Edward Paule was the proprietor of the Monroe House, a boarding house and saloon at Third and Chauncey. He also served as mayor of St. Charles from 1897-1904. Edward Paule was the son of John Paule, a native of Bavaria and a partner in Paul & Talley Steam Wooler Mill Factory, circa 1857 (at Boone's Lick and South Main - northeast side). The mill provided stocking yarn and 100,000 yards of blue wool suiting worn by Union Soldiers during the Civil War. John Paule served as a city council member for two terms.
