William Edward Islip, 55, prominent Acampo district vineyardist and a past commander of Lodi Post No. 22 of the American Legion, passed away suddenly at 5 p.m. while playing golf at the Woodbridge Golf and Country Club yesterday.
By a grim coincidence, he was a close friend and Legion association of A. L. Strange, also a past Legion commander, who died suddenly in Visalia some time Sunday night.
Mr. Islip was engaged in a friendly game of golf with Lauren Wilkinson and Philip Scaletta when he was stricken on the Number 7 green, apparently as the result of a gastric condition.
Dr. A.C. Boehmer, who arrived within five minutes after being summoned, found that he had passed away almost instantly.
Apparently in the best of health, Mr. Islip had spent the earlier part of the day inspecting vineyard properties with his close business associate, James M. Prentice.
Mr. Islip was born in Suisun, Calif., on January 27, 1892. He parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. H.A. Islip, his father having come to this country from England, his mother being a daughter of a pioneer Suisun family.

He was also the brother of the late Lewis Islip of Sacramento.
Mr. Islip came to the Lodi district in 1920 after having been engaged as an orchardist in Winters, and secured a vineyard in the Acampo district. He had been a partner of J.E. Devine, James Brown and James M. Prentice of the American Fruit Growers in the operation of a number of vineyards.
