Dies At Home
Leading Citizen and Livestock Dealer to Be Buried Wednesday
William M. Joseph, 61, one of the Shenandoah Valley's leading livestock dealers, prominent in Civic and business affairs, and one of the founders of the Shenandoah Valley Livestock Sales here, died at 5:30 yesterday morning at his home on North Main street.
He suffered a stroke of paralysis in August 1939 from which he never recovered. During the past summer his health improved so that he was permitted to take automobile rides. In early autumn, his condition gradually grew worse and two weeks ago a sudden change indicated the end was near, members of the family said.
Dealt in Several Counties
Mr. Joseph was engaged in extensive farming in addition to his activities in the livestock field. His livestock business included highland, Pendleton and adjacent counties. He was recognized as one of the largest livestock dealers in the valley.
Although quiet and unassuming, his business judgment was always in demand. For a number of years, he served on the board of directors of the Rockingham National Bank. He served several terms on the Harrisonburg City Council. Mr. Joseph was selected by the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore as one of its original appraisers in this section.
Mr. Joseph also had marked business vision, his associates say. It was largely through is vision and efforts that the Shenandoah Valley Livestock Sales, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the state was organized here. Mr. Joseph was a member of the board of directors at the time of his death.
Advised Many
With a multitude of duties and responsibilities incident to the operation of his own farms and the conduct of his numerous other business interests, Mr. Joseph always had time to talk over and advise with his many friends with regard to their own problems. In his home and among his neighbors he was always kind and thoughtful of the interests of others.
He is survived by his widow, the following children: Mrs. David Liskey, of Harrisonburg; Mrs. Joseph Kagey, of Dayton; and Albert and Gladys, at home; the following sisters: Mrs. K. J. Phares, of Dayton: Mrs. B. P. Pence, of Mt. Clinton: Mrs. J. S. Armentrout, of Cairo, Ohio, and five grandchildren.
He was a member of the Methodist Church. Funeral services will be conducted at the Joseph home on North Main street at o o'clock, Wednesday afternoon by his former pastor, Dr. Harry M. Canter, assisted by Rev. Alfred B. Clarke. The procession will move from the home to the Manusoleum in Woodbine cemetery for the burial.
