WILLIAM H. WOLFINGER, a well known resident of the city, aged 75 years, died at the home of his son, Frederick M., Rose Hill Avenue, this morning of complications.
Mr. Wolfinger was one of the best known blacksmiths in this section, learning his trade with Mr. Warfield of the Leitersburg Pike. He was in business along the pike opposite the George Bowers place near Bridgeport. From there he went to Chewsville and worked at his trade for 14 years and at which place he made many warm friends. He was a man who always kept himself well informed on various topics and could discuss Bible subjects most intelligently. From Chewsville he moved to Hagerstown and worked for the Hess Carriage Co., and later engaged in the general blacksmithing business for himself. He was a member of the First Christian Church.
He is survived by two sons, Frederick and Scott M. Wolfinger, this city; brothers, John O., and Levi B., Leitersburg.
