DEATH OF W. 0. DEVAY
-
PRESIDENT OF INDIANA PAPER COMPANY EXPIRES AT SOUTH BEND.
He was for Many Years a Prominent Indianapolis Buisness Man Leaves a Fortune.
A dispatch received at 1 o'clock this morning from Mr. Pierre DeVay, at South Bend, announced the death, at 12:35 o'clock this morning, of his father, the well-known William O. DeVay, at his home In that city.
Mr. DeVay was president of the Indiana Paper Company. Death came after a lingering Illness of nearly two years.
Mr. DeVay was prominently known as an Indianapolis business man, his headquarters having been in this city for many years.
About fifteen years ago he was an enterprising traveling man for the Cleveland Paper Company, but his admirable qualifications led him to embark in business for himself and so successful was he that he leaves a fortune estimated from $150,000 to $200,000. All of which he made in the paper business. He was born In Pittsburg in 1850 'and lived there till 1867, when he began steam-boating with an uncle.
In 1874 he married Miss Agnes Goshen in this citj. At that time he was traveling for the Cleveland paper house. In 1881 he opened a wholesale paper house In this city, and three years afterwards organized the Indiana Paper Company,' with headquarters in this city.
The company had mills at South Bend and Mishwaka. Mr. DeVay's close application and overwork brought on consumption after some years, and last winter he went to southern California for relief. His health was not much improved, however, and he returned to South Bend, to which place he removed after leaving Indianapolis
Besides a wife he leaves two sons, Pierre, aged eighteen, and Newton, agel twelve. Mr. DeVay was a member of Mystic Tie Lodge, F. and A-. M., of this city, and he was also a Scottish Rite Mason 'and a member of Raper. Oommandery, Knights Templars. Indianapolis Journal Dec 18, 1894
