EDGAR PRICE WIDMER

LUMBERMAN DIES IN RICHMOND HOSPITAL AFTER LONG ILLNESS

   Edgar Price Widmer, prominent lumberman of eastern Virginia and North 
Carolina, died Friday night, August 8, in a Richmond hospital after an illness 
of many weeks. Mr. Widmer had never fully recovered from injuries sustained in 
an automobile accident earlier in the year.

   The deceased was born on March 4, 1881, in Delaware, N.J., the son of the 
late Abraham and Elizabeth Price Widmer of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. At the 
time of his death he was 66 years of age.

   For the quarter-century preceding his death Mr. Widmer had been 
superintendent of logging operations for the Camp Manufacturing Company, first 
at Wallace, N.C., until the closing of the mill there, then at Franklin for ten 
years, and finally at Windsor, N.C., where he had charge of logging in that 
section. He was a member of the Windsor Methodist Church (as long as he resided 
in Franklin he was a member of High Street Methodist Church and of the R.M. 
Chandler Bible Class.)
