WILLIAM STAMM

William Stamm, 90 year old retired business man, died yesterday in the Hamilton Nursing Home after a short illness. He lived in 163 Throop Avenue.

Mr. Stamm, son of the late Peter A. and Mary Schwab Stamm, was associated with his father in the distribution of beer and liquor in Milltown for many years and in 1902, when his father died, William took over the business and transferred headquarters to New Brunswick.

A year later he purchased a one story building from the Pennsylvania Railroad which had been used as a waiting room at George and Washington Streets, and moved the building to 154 Throop Ave from where he conducted the distribution of Ballentine beer and ales. He was sole distributor for Ballentine beer until prohibition. In 1934, he returned to his former business with the same brewers but soon retired again.

After his first retirement in 1915 Mr. Stamm traveled extensively and in 1929 organized the Storm Seal Paint Co. which he ran until 1945. For the past 30 years, he spent his winters in Florida. He was a member of the New Brunswick Exempt Firemen's Association and Emanuel Lutheran Church.

Mr. Stamm is survived by his widow, Margaret Banker Stamm, three sons, William Jr. of North Brunswick, Louis R. of this city and Frank W. of Highland Park; two daughters, Mrs. Robert A. Young of this city and Mrs. Robert N. Stevens of Paris, France; nine children and four great-grandchildren.

The Rev. Rufus Cornelsen will conduct a private service Monday and interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery under the direction of the Quackenboss Funeral Home, 156 Livingston avenue.

Stayed at 209 E. Jean St., Tampa, FL
