Death of William H. Heisler.

While not unexpected, yet suddenly,
came the end of the life Of William H.
Heisler, of Pemberton, who passed away
at quarter before eleven. Saturday night.
He had been i'll for some time,
and had been confined to his home
about three months, although he was
able to be taken around for short dis
tances. His disease was pronounced as
multiple cirrhosis, hardening of the
arteries in different parts OF the body,
and not confined to any particular place.
The death of Mr.. Heisler removes from
the locality in which he had lived for a
long time man who will be greatly
missed. While not connected with pub
lie Office he was identified with many of
the towns interests and his many deeds
Of kindness will be long remembered by
those on whom they were bestowed
without the outside public being cogniz-
ant of the good work that was going on.
Mr.. Heisler was born in Pemberton,
November 10, 1912, and received the
education afforded by the local schools
AT an early period in his life he came to
Mount Holly and became clerk in the
drug store of Austin r. Haines, where
DIR. Flynn's store now stands. From
there he went to the Mount Holly
National Bank as clerk, and then was
chosen by the Seventh National Bank,
of Philadelphia, as its cashier. In 1888
he was given the same position with the
Manufacturers Bank, of Philadelphia,
and was later made president of that in
stitution, position he held at the time
OF his death.

institutions, among them the following:
Treasurer of the Schlichter Jute and
Cordage Company; director in the Cam
den and Burlington County Railways
Company; member Of the Union League
and Manufacturers club, Philadelphia;
Pennsylvania Historical Society, mem
Der of the Masonic fraternity; and treas
urer of the Pennsylvania Seaman's
Friendly Society.

of the Methodist church. He was vice
president of the Board of Home Missions
and Church Extension Society of the M.
E. Church, of America; an active mem
Der OF the Ocean Grove Association;
president of the board of trustees of the
Pemberton M. Z. church and superin.
tendent of the Sunday School of that
church.
There was no desire on his part te
have his work brought to public atten
ton, but rather desire to shrink from
publicity, but there are many who viii
have pleasant and grateful recollectioni
of his good deeds. A peculiar coinci
dence in connection with this death il
the recent wedding of his son to thu
daughter of Clifford Budd. At thai
ceremony the fathers of the bride ant
groom we're both present, although the!
were suffering from illness. Within on
month Mr.. Budd died and now tn
father of the groom has passed away
