Virginian-Pilot  March 16, 1948
William H. Maher, special representative of the State Port Authority at Norfolk 
and for many years a well-known figure in shipping circles, died at a Norfolk 
hospital Sunday at 11 p.m.
He had been suffering from a heart condition for some time, but did not become 
seriously ill until last Thursday. He was at his office Wednesday.
A native of Elizabeth City County, he had lived in Norfolk for many years. His 
home was at 620 Redgate Avenue.
He was connected with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the early days of his 
business career and later was engaged in the coal business, first with the 
Southgate Coal Company and then in business for himself.
During World War I, he became affiliated with the United States Fuel 
Administration. In 1931, he went with the State Port Authority and at one time, 
was acting director.
Because his work with the Port Authority brought him in close touch with the 
shipping interests in this area, he was regarded as an outstanding authority on 
matters pertaining to Hampton Roads.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Olive K. Maher, of Norfolk; two sisters, Miss 
Charlotte and Harriet Maher, one brother, T. Bassett Maher, all of Lynchburg.
Funeral services will be conducted at Sacred Heart Catholic Church today at 10 
a.m. Interment will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
Rosary services were held at the H. D. Oliver Funeral Chapel last night.
