Warnar Willem Marinus Moll was born on 17 August 1857, in Bredevoort. He passed away on 18 November 1937, in Winterswijk.
The Aaltensche Courant wrote the day after his death:
A well-known figure from our municipality passed away on Wednesday at the age of over 80. Mr. W.W.M. Moll, a former teacher—the always cheerful and vigorous elderly gentleman—passed away at the hospital in Winterswijk after a few days of illness.
Since time immemorial, ‘Master Moll’ served education in Bredevoort, and he saw the majority of Bredevoort’s residents in the school benches. Outside of school, Mr. Moll participated intensely in social life, serving public life in many capacities.
Z’n grootste liefde had wel de Tuberculosevereeniging, welke te Aalten zetelde. Voor deze vereeniging was hij lange jaren de steunende kracht. Jaren lang vervulde hij voorts het voorzitterschap van de Boterfabriek en Bredevoorts Belang, en vervulde bestuursfuncties in het veefonds, de vereeniging voor ziekenhuisverpleging, Zwanenbroek-commmissie enz. Van de oprichting tot 1922 was hij commissaris van de Geld.-Westf. Tramweg Mij. Van de oprichting dezer maatschappij gaf de heer Moll mede den eersten stoot. Verder bekleedde de overledene nog het voorzitterschap der commissie tot wering van schoolverzuim, welke functie hij reeds een groot aantal jaren vervulde.
Bredevoort in the first place, and the municipality of Aalten, lose in Mr. Moll a fellow citizen who did a great deal for the interests of his place of residence. On Monday afternoon, the remains will be interred at the general cemetery in Bredevoort. Undoubtedly, many will feel compelled to pay their last respects to the deceased.
