Century Memorial
William C. Wisner, one of our oldest members, who fully appreciated his associations here, and was held in high regard by us all, passed away full of years, regretted by a large circle of friends. He was born in New York City, was engaged in business all his life in this city, enjoyed an enviable reputation as a successful, enterprising merchant of perfect integrity, whose quiet and unostentatious life and gentle character, which endeared him to a large circle of friends, was a pattern to us all.
