Until a decade ago, he was a director in the organization. Mr. Wetherill was born in Saugerties New York, May 17, 1846. Upon coming of age he went into the business of manufacturing and selling paints. Later he became associated with his brother, the late John Price Wetherill, and August Heckscher, and they founded the Lehigh Zinc and Iron Company, South Bethlehem Pennsylvania.
