Obituary, Cornwall Local, Cornwall, Orange County, New York October 22, 1903 p. 1/4: A former resident of Brooklyn, but in recent years living at New Brunswick, NJ, William H. Mailler, died Monday at his home, The Pines, in the 81st year of his age. Born at Cornwall-on-Hudson, at the age of 12 years he came to New York and secured a position with a firm in the freighting business to Southern Ports. When scarcely 21 years of age he established a line of steamers and sailing vessels from New York to Baltimore, Norfolk and Charleston. In 1853 he opened business relations with Australia and New Zealand, sending the first steamer from this country to those ports and since that time had continued actively in the trade, a period of a full half centruy. He was the senior member of the firm of Mailler & Quereau of New York and Sydney, Australia. He was among the oldest member of the Chamber of Commerce, having joined that body in 1865, and for a long time had been a member of the New York Produce Exchange. Funeral services were held today at his late residence --Wednesday's Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. Mailler, above alluded to, is a cousin of Messrs. Mailler, meat dealers, in this place. He attended the Mailler reunion a year ago.
