William K. Du Pont, who died young in 1907 after being born in 1875, belonged to the prominent du Pont family whose industrial enterprises left a lasting imprint on American chemistry and manufacturing. Though he did not live to an advanced age, his burial at Du Pont de Nemours Cemetery connects him with the family’s enduring legacy.
