OBITUARY TEXT: Pioneer developer buried A memorial service for Clarence Kaler
WILDASINN, one of the earliest land developers in Washington Twp., was held
Monday. He was 86. Mr. WILDASINN's development of Brittany Hills, a subdivision
of exclusive homes, won him recognition in Who's Who in the Midwest in 1970 and
1971. Beginning more than 40 years ago, he built more than 400 homes in
Washington Twp. Mr. WILDASINN, who died Friday, became involved in developing
the area after he started work 41 years ago on a replica of a French farm house
like those he recalled from his military service in Europe during World War I.
The house was built from salvage materials he collected at his wrecking company
during the Depression. It first was designed as a summer house, but later was
expanded and became his rambling homestead. Mr. WILDASINN built the home in
Woodbourne, the town that was the original Dayton settlement in the late 1700's
before its people moved closer to the Miami River to help develop commerce for
the fledgling city. The two-story, brick, stone and half-timber home, with
towers and an authentically sloped roof, now is a landmark on Whipp Road. Much
of the adjacent land was developed by Mr. WILDASINN, including Woodbourne
Village and other subdivisions in the Washington Twp. Area. Mr. WILDASINN was a
native of Plattsburg, Ohio, who graduated from Dayton's Stivers High School and
received a bachelor's of science degree (Engineering Degree) from Ohio State
University. He served with the U.S. Artillery in World War I and as an
engineering officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II. Mr.
WILDASINN was a research scientist at NCR and the Charles F. Kettering Lab of
General Motors Corp. He also was employed by Dayton Metal Products co., Delco
Light Co. and the Domestic Engineering Co. He was affiliated with the National
Association of Realtors, Association of Home Builders, Dayton Engineers Club and
the American Legion. He was a member of the Mystic Lodge, Scottish Rite and
Antioch Shrine. Mr. WILDASINN is survived by his wife Emy Lou J. (KUMLER)
WILDASINN, four sons- Donald (Kumler), Bruce (Kaler), Frank (Franklin Abia
Zeller) and Gregory (Fell)- and 15 grandchildren. Memorial services were held at
Routsong Funeral Home, 81 N. Main St., Centerville. Additional Information:
