"Stricken While On Motor Trip, Death Follows - William H. Fonda, 76, one of Amsterdam's most popular and esteemed citizens and prominent businessman, died suddenly Tuesday evening after being stricken on a motor trip to the camp of Frank Albright on the Sacandaga Reservoir to attend a meeting of the Physical Department of the Y. M. C. A., he being a director of the "Y."... Born at Log City October 4, 1869, a son of Jacob and Anna Mary Johnson Fonda, William H. Fonda attended the district rural school in his neighborhood and at the age of 16 years came to Amsterdam which place had been his home since. He attended the School of Pharmacy at Northwestern University and became a licensed pharmacist, being connected with the Ward and D. B. Van Aken drug stores here in that capacity for 26 years. In 1901 he abandoned the profession of pharmacist and engaged in the bicycle and motorcycle business... All added up he was a remarkable man for one who had passed the three-score and ten mark and his friends marveled at his physical accomplishments. Mr. Fonda was a life member of the County Line Club and a member of the American Motorcycle Association. He was also a member of the First Methodist Church and active in the affairs of the church. The survivors are his wife, the former Della Moore to whom he was married June 26, 1901; one daughter, Mrs. John C. Bork, Butte, Montana, who expects to reach here in time for the funeral; one son, Robert H. Fonda, who was engaged in business with his father; one brother, Frank, Ballston Lake, and six grandchildren. Amsterdam NY Daily Democrat and Recorder, Wednesday, July 24, 1946."
