DEATH OF WILLIAM H. LONG

Prominent Philadelphia Jeweler Answers Last Call


Image


Philadelphia, Pa. March 1 - Attended by scores of jewelers from this city and New York, the funeral of William H. Long, one of the best known men in the business, was held this afternoon from his home, 556 N. 16th St. Mr. Long whose death occurred last Tuesday night had on Feb. 6 celebrated the 50th anniversary of his connection with J.E. Caldwell & Co. of this city. He was at the head of jewelry registration and foreign marking department as well as the gold jewelry buyer. He was treasurer of the Jewelers' Club of Philadelphia.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk, and the interment in Mt. Peace Cemetery. The pallbearers were Col. J. Warner Hutchins, Horace Combes, John D. Baten of New York, E. A. Eckfeldt, A. C. Perpignan and Horace Noviock.

Mr. Long associated himself with J. E. Caldwell & Co. as a cashier, working himself into the registration room and then to its head. Because of his application to business he was quickly recognized by his superiors and in time came to be recognized as an expert in his line, not only by the firm but by the jewelers throughout the country. His word on foreign exchange was almost law and his knowledge of the value of bric-a-brac was remarkable. He was counted as a friend of the late J. Albert Caldwell as well as an employe He was retiring rather than aggressive and accuracy was his watchword.

Mr. Long was one of the original members of the Jewelers' Club and for two or three terms its president, hut for the last 10 or 15 years its treasurer. He was also a member of the Odd Fellows, the Philadelphia Turgemeinde and the Cape May Yatch Club.

He is survived by a daughter Mrs. Margaret Baker, with whom he made his home and a brother George D. Long, also connected with the Caldwell establishment.

While he had been in poor health for some time he was not confined to his bed until about two months ago. He was 69 years old.

J. E. Caldwell & Co. have designed and made the Henry D. Moore cup, which is to be presented to the Holly Beach Yacht Club as a perpetual trophy to be contested for annually by motor boats. The cup stands 14 inches, independent of the base, and is built of sterling silver. Around the top of the cup is an etched scene of a motor boat race in which four modern high-power boats are shown dashing through the water at high speed. Below the etching is applied a rope which forms a nautical loop. In the loop are the initials of the club. On the reverse side a rope medallion is applied. The remaining space is for the winners’ name each year. This house has the contract for the prizes to be awarded at the Chesterbrook races, Sept. 28.

J. E. Caldwell & Co., Have a Suit Against a Countess

Philadelphia, Pa., July 27.—Counsel for J. E. Caldwell & Co., have issued a foreign attachment from Common Pleas Court against the Countess Folchi-Vici, formerly Lily Macalester, and summoned the Fidelity Insurance and Safe Deposit Co. as trustee. Bail was placed at $849.50, and the action is brought to recover for a bill of jewelry, etc., aggregating half of that amount. The Countess Folchi-Vici is a granddaughter of the late Charles Macalester, who died shortly after the war, leaving a large fortune. His granddaughter, the Countess, lives in Italy and contracted the bill for jewelry while in this country about four years ago. Part of her income arises from a marriage contract trust of which the Fidelity Co. are trustee, and as the Countess but rarely visits this country, the only method possible to collect the bill is by making a claim for its payment out of this trust estate.

The publication of the alleged flight of Henry B. Chambers, at one time head bookkeeper for J. E. Caldwell & Co., was a surprise to the members of the trade in this city, where Mr. Chambers was well known and much esteemed. When seen by a Circular Weekly representative, Mr. Riley and Mr. Davisson, of Caldwell’s, said they had seen or heard nothing of Chambers since he left their house, two years ago. Efforts to locate Mr. Chambers’s wife, who is thought to be living in West Philadelphia, were unavailing.
