RODMAN WISTER DEAD
Rodman Wister, a member of one of the oldest Philadelphia families, prominent in club and social life, one of the small group of men who introduced the game of cricket into this country, and for many years closely identified with the iron industry in this city, died early last Monday morning in the Media Hospital, Media, Pa. He had been ill for more than a year, suffering from hardening of the arteries. About a year ago his condition became such that his physician advised a sea voyage. He returned in the autumn somewhat better, but the day after Christmas he suffered a relapse from which he never rallied. Mr. Wister was the youngest son of William and Sarah Logan Fisher Wister, and was born at "Belfield," near Wister station, on August 10, 1844. When the Civil War began he enlisted as a drummer boy in Captain Biddle's company, the Home Guards, of Germantown. Transferred to the Eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia, he served through the Antietam campaign. An attack of typhoid fever in 1863 resulted in his honorable discharge. He was president of the Duncannon Iron Company and was a member and officer in many charitable organizations. His active interest in athletics led to the founding of the Young America Cricket Club, of which he was president until its amalgamation with the Germantown Cricket Clubthen he was made vice president of the latter organization. He was a member of the Art Club, Belfield Country Club and the Society of Colonial Wars.
