Of Denver, CO

WILLIAM H. EMANUEL, son of Morgan, Jr. and Margaret (Lewis) Emanuel, was born in Catasauqua in 1860. He attended the public schools of the borough, graduating in 1877. He pursued his studies in the chemistry department of Lafayette College, graduating from that institution of learning in 1880. Soon after graduating he was appointed to the position his father had occupied, as general agent of the Laflin and Rand Powder Company, with his headquarters at Denver, Colorado. He then became engaged in the general agency of mine and mill supplies, representing such concerns as the Frazer and Chalmers Rand Drill Company, the Trenton Iron Works, and he also served as president of the National Fuse Powder Company.

Accompanied by his wife, William H. Emanuel returned to Catasauqua to attend the funeral of his father. While staying in the Emanuel family home at Third and Strawberry Streets, he fell ill and there he died one month later. His remains were interred in the family plot at Fairview Cemetery.
