WILLIAM DECKER 7 M ILLIAM DECKER, third son of Henry and .Mary Decker, deceased. I ' lvl 1 hoi in 1S61 at the old homestead in Clinton township, Lycom- A ing County, Pennsylvania, which is located about two miles west of Montgomery. He is of German descent; was reared amid stern surroundings and inherited his father ' s occupation — that of a farmer. During a few short winter terms he attended a country school where was laid the hasis of his educa- tion to which he has added by self-study and discipline, so that today he may be regarded as a self-educated man. While assisting his father in building homes at Montgomery in 1888 he came in contact with one, who during the Spring of the same year, became a partner in his first business venture which was that of manufacturing extension tables. After fifteen years this partnership was dissolved and for eleven years Mr. Decker has been sole owner of the above business, which during 1913 assumed the magni- tude of a little more than a half million dollars output. By integrity, industry, and intuitive judgment he has won a place among the foremost manufacturers of this daw which success is largely due to intense application and severe accuracy. I lis business connection with other factories and enterprises located within the borough lends strength to the same. Mr. Decker is a staunch Lutheran and a faithful attendant at the services of his church. He teaches a large Bible class of men which is organized according to the state requirement of O. A. B. C. classes, through which medium great good is being accomplished. Few men of equal means surpass him in works of benevo- lence, and we as a University are the grateful recipient of an endowment of $25,000 from this generous-hearted individual. Universities, Seminaries, and Associations have not alone come within the above bounds, but private deeds of charity are being performed along scriptural lines, without the right hand know- ing what the left hand is doing. His advice and association are much sought by ministers and laymen. lie is a vice president of the Pennsylvania State S. S. Association, a mem- ber of the executive committee of the Lycoming County S. S. Association, a director of Susquehanna University, and of Dickinson Seminary, Williams- port, Pa. Mr. Decker has been a resident of Montgomery for about twenty-eight years and now resides on Montgomery street in the most statelv residence that the borough affords. He has an interesting family of three sons and three daughters. Me is that type of manhood that inspires confidence in all who come in contact with him. and who gives to the community in which he resides, a most potent force for mural and religious advancement. We bespeak for him the fullest realizations of his ambitions and pray that many years of usefulness may be added to his life. Page Six
