Willicm A. Fairburn

Center Lovell, Maine-William A. Fairburn, president of the Diamond Match Company since 1915, died suddenly at his home here October 1. He was 71 years old.

He joined the Diamond Match Company in 1909. Mr. Fairburn conducted thousands of experiments during the next two years, with the result that early in 1911 he was able to announce the creation of an efficient, non-poisonous match made with sesqui-sulphide of phosphorus. The company relinquished all its rights to the patent covering the manufacture and sale of the new sesqui-sulphide of phosphorous match in the United States. In l9l2 he invented a device for impregnating mptch splints to prevent after-glow by a chemical bath during manufacture.

Mr. Fairburn is survived by his widow, Louise Ramsay Fairburn, and two sons, William A., Jr., of New York City, and Robert G. of Morristown, New Jersey.
