Charles Clifford Willis of Coeymans
Death of Dr. C. C. Willis
In the death of Charles C. Willis, which took place Sunday morning
last, our village loses an enterprising and progressive citizen, one whose
assistence and influence could always be relied on in furthering any project
for the welfare of the community.
Dr. Willis’s final sickness was of short duration, lasting but one
week, his complaint being pleurisy. He had but recently passed through
a severe attack of the “la grippe” and his constitution was much broken.
One week ago Saturday while on a business trip to Albany he contracted
a severe cold which resulted fatally as above stated.
Dr. Willis was born in this village in 1854, had the advantage of a
liberal school education, and having decided to follow the profession of
dentistry, in 1874-5 fitted himself for this by a courde at the Philadelphia
Dental College and Hospital of Oral Surgery. He began his practice in this
village in the spring of 1875, but shortly after having an inducement offered
him he entered as partner with the late Dr. Jackson in Coxsackie, where
he remained until the fall of 1875 when he severed his connection with
the frim and permanently located in Coeymans, where his skill and reputation
for first-class work soon secured and retained for him a lucrative practice.
In addition to his practice he has represented some of the best fire and
life insurance companies, being at the time of his death one of the foremost
solicitors and probably writing more policies than all the other agencies
in the village combined. He has held the office of clerk of this road district
for several years, being considered the most efficient of any who has held
this position of trust. Mr. Willis was married Nov. 9, 1882, to Helen,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Leedings, and who with one son are left
to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father.
His funeral will be held from the M. E. church at two o’clock this
afternoon.
Alexander E. Willis
March 2, 1895 of Coeymans, New York
PROMINENT COEYMANS MAN DEAD.
Alexander E. Willis, After an Illness of About a Month, Succumbs to
Liver Complaint - A sketch of His Career.
Alexander E. Willis, one of the oldest and best known residents of
Coeymans, died at 1:20 this morning, at the age of 82. He had enjoyed good
health up to within a month or two ago, when his energies began to decline.
The cause of his death was enlargement of the liver. He had been under
the doctor's care, but few weeks. His mind remained clear and active to
the last.
Mr. Willis was born at Ballston May 5, 1812. His early educational
advantages were limited and when a boy began to support himself as a clerk.
He went to New York and was employed by the largest dry goods house in
the metropolis at the time - Wright, Wilson & Co. In 1839 he engaged
in business in Troy, the establishment being located on Congress street,
where Freer's bazaar is now conducted. In 1842 he went to Coeymans and
entered the freighting business, the firm being known as Lawton, Willis,
Calvin & Co. Later he became interested in a large grist mill there
under the firm name of Willis & Sigsbee. They purchased large quanities
of grain and ground it, having one of the most extensive plants in the
state at the time. For the past 20 years he had not followed any active
business occupation.
In 1841 he married Harriett Blaisdell, daughter of Levi Blaisdell of
Coeymans, and a verteran of the revolutionary war. Eleven childern were
born to them three of whom are still living - David Willis of Brooklyn,
Wilbur Willis of Castleton and F.S. Willis of Coeymans. Mrs. Willis, who
also survives, is a very intelligent and warm-hearted woman, having a host
of friends. Her health is not good, having suffered from heart trouble
for a number of years.
In early life Mr. Willis joined the M.E. church and had always been
a warm supporter of reigious work. He always gave liberally and for a long
time served as an official of the M.E. church at Coeymans. He was very
proficient in ecclesiastical history and adhered to his faith, with a love
akin to seal. He was a great admirer of the young, and always took a happy
interest in the concerns of childern, with all of whom he was ever a favorite.
Mr. Willis was for years the sole trustee of the public school at Coeymans,
and to his untiring devotion to educational interests is largely due the
excellent school that the village has enjoyed. He was a model school official
and believed that the true foundation of a republic was the education of
its citizens. He was a man of strong literary tastes and being an omniverous
reader, he always kept in touch with current history. His stock of remeniscences
was unexhaustible, and he was one of the most agreeable and congenial old
gentlemen, whom one would care to meet. He was an uncompromising Republican
and always took a lively interest in the success of the pary, although
he would never accept office.
By his death the church, ??????? earnest worker and official, the community
is deprived of a good neighbor and friend, and the family is bereft of
a kind and loving husband, father and grandfather.
The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
M. E. church at Coeymans.
