Parents: Job and Fannie (Taylor) Thayer. Husband of: Anna Eliza (Atkinson) Thayer. Married: 17 Dec 1863 - Maysville, Kentucky.
Occurred last Night at 10:45 o'clock After Long Illness The Mail Tribune, Monday, May 6, 1901 William T. Thayer, aged 70 years, died last night at 10:45 o'clock at his home on Kanawha Street, after an illness of several months. He is the last of three brothers, to whom the summons has come within the last six months, the eldest, O. A. Thayer, having died on November 23, 1900, while the younger of the three, Job E. Thayer, died in January last. There was a bond of affection between the three that was unusual even among brothers, and the death of each in turn seemed to have been a terrible blow to the survivor who having been in rather delicate health for several years, was unable to recover from the shock. The immediate cause of his death, however, is said to have been due to heart disease. The deceased was one of the city's most highly respected citizens and for years was one of its most prominent and active business men know not only throughout this State, but over this entire section of country, through the extensive business connections of the firm of O. A. & W. T. Thayer, they having for may years conducted the foundry on the South side of the Kanawha. About two years ago the brothers retired from the active business of the plant which being reorganized is now know at the South Side Foundry & Machine Works. He was, up to the time of his death, largely interested in valuable coal properties and operations in both this and Fayette counties. In hope of regaining in a measure, some of his former health, Mr. Thayer went to Old Point Comfort last March and spent several weeks there. He, however, became worse and was brought home about three weeks ago, since which time he has been gradually sinking despite all that the most skilled in medical science could do. Though not unexpected, the death was a sad blow to the family and friends. The deceased leaves a wife and three children, one daughter, Miss Mary Thayer, and two sons, W. T. Thayer, Jr., and John A. Thayer. Arrangements have not yet been made for the funeral but it will probably take place Tuesday. Funeral of W. T. Thayer Will Take Place From the Residence This Afternoon The Mail Tribune, Tuesday, May 7, 1901. The funeral of William T. Thayer, who died at his home, on Kanawha Street, Sunday night at 10:45 o'clock, will be conducted at the residence this afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. Dr. J. C. Barr and Rev. R. E.
