Wilmer F. Mosteller, 46, well-known Spring City barber, died suddenly Monday 
afternoon of a heart attack at his home, 23 N. Main Street. Mr. Mosteller 
was stricken at 11 o'clock shortly after leaving Pottstown where he had been 
on a business trip with a son, Robert. His death followed at 2:10 o'clock.

any serious effects from them. Dr. J. G. Ross was summoned and pronounced 
him dead.

in Spring City many years ago. Mr. Mosteller later worked in Pottstown,

opened his present shop.

He was an ardent Republican and was active in politics.

He was born in East Vincent Township near Spring City, a son of Mrs. Irene 
Mosteller and the late Jesse K. Mosteller.
