Records about Walter L. Main from William "Buckles" Woodcocks Blog at http://www.bucklesw.blogspot.com/
It has been more than 60 years since Walter L. Main passed from the local scene, but several area residents still recall the great showman from Geneva.

Further, on the west side of town, Walter Main Road, between routes 20 and 84, remains as a reminder of this prince of the big top. It was on this road that the winter quarters for Main’s circus stood for several years, until the devastating fire of 1906 that killed dozens of circus animals and caused Main great financial setback. He never recovered from the event that he would refer to as his “Waterloo” later in life.

Main is buried in Uniondale Cemetery, Pittsburgh, where his second wife was buried. His obituary listed only one survivor, a sister-in-law.
