William Henry Paulding Jr. (March 16, 1871 – February 26, 1916)
Many Peekskillers remember William H. Paulding, who was born in Peekskill and lived In the Depew or Paulding homestead, 660 Main street, during his boyhood days. He died at a quarter past six o'clock last Saturday morning from pulmonary embolism at 104 Warburton avenue, Yonkers, where he had been stopping for a number of years. It is believed that death was indirectly due to serious injuries received on January 7, 1913, when he was struck by an automobile truck, at the corner of Warburton avenue and Dock street, Yonkers. His chest was crushed in and several ribs were broken. He remained in St. Joseph's Hospital nine weeks after the accident. On Friday, the day before his death, he appeared to be in his customary condition. He went to business and enjoyed a meal with Mrs. Paulding. Early Saturday morning Mrs. Paulding was awakened by the irregular breathing of her husband, and she summoned a physician. Mr. Paulding died five minutes after the doctor's arrival.
Mr. Paulding was born in Peekskill, March 16, 1871. He was the son of Annie Depew and the late William H. Paulding. The latter died many years ago. The former, a sister to ex-Senator Chauncey M. Depew, is still living. Mr. Paulding was educated in a private school in Peekskill, later graduating from the Peekskill Military Academy and then from Packard Commercial School, New York City. He entered a broker's office in New York first, but for twenty-five years he had held a responsible position with the Union Trust Company, New York.
He was a great-grandson of the Paulding who assisted in the capture of Major John Andre who was delivering the plans of West Point to the British as a part of the Benedict Arnold act of treason. He married Miss Luella Jewell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Jewell, of this village, April 20, 1912. Rev. William Fisher Lewis officiated. She survives, also his mother, Mrs. W. H. Paulding; a brother, Charles C. Paulding, and a sister, Anne Depew Paulding, all of Ardsley-on-Hudson. He was a member of Yonkers Lodge, No. 707, B.P.O. Elks. When a young man in Peekskill he belonged to the U. B. M. A., a secret boys' order that originated here. In it he held the rank of prince and was chancellor of the ex-chequer of the Royal Council.
The funeral services were held at his late home, 104 Warburton avenue, Yonkers, Monday afternoon, the Rev. Francis T. Brown, rector of St, Andrew's Memorial Church, officiating. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends, and many beautiful floral tributes, among them being a wreath of Easter lilies and Taft roses from the Union Trust Company, of New York City, where Mr. Paulding had been employed, and a wreath from the Yonkers Lodge of Elks, of which he was a member. William A. Macdonald, accompanied by Howard H. Clapp at the piano, sang "Face to Face" and "There is a Land Mine Eye Hath Seen." The burial was in Hillside Cemetery. The mourners accompanied the body from Yonkers in a private car on the New York Central Railroad.
