William Lewellen Dies in 82nd Year

WILLIAM LEWELLEN DIES IN 82ND YEAR One of City's Oldest Residents and Long Chemical Plant Head William H. Lewellen, for 15 years superintendent of the General Chemical Co., and an employe of the old Moro Phillips Chemical Co. and the General Chemical Co. for 54 years, will be buried today. Services will take place at 2 p. m. at the home, 41 North Thirty-sixth street and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery. Lewellen died Tuesday. Lewellen, who was 82, was one of the oldest residents of Camden. He was born in Medford and moved to this city when a young boy. He often spoke of the beer gardens that once occupied the site of many big industries now and of the numerous cattle paths that dotted the town. Lewellen entered the employ of the Moro Phillips Co. at Eleventh and Linden streets when a youth and worked himself up until he became general superintendent. He virtually reorganized the concern until its merger with the General Chemical Co. He retired about 10 years ago. He is survived by his widow, Caroline Wyle Lewellen, two sons, Moro and Lemuel, and two sisters, Mrs. Anna Brown and Mrs. Emma Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Lewellen celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last January. Moro Lewellen is superintendent of the acid department of Wilckes-Martin-Wilckes Co. Lewellen took an active interest in politics many years ago, although he held only one office, being a member of the Board of Health.
