Dead David Kessler

Among the David Kesslers that have enjoyed some public exposure, David Kessler is the earliest example I have found so far. David Kessler was born in 1863. If he was still alive, he would undoubtedly be the most famous David Kessler, as he'd be celebrating his 143rd birthday this year. No such luck for him or us. Instead, David Kessler died in 1920 after a prominent life on stage in New York City's Yiddish theater.

He is a member in good standing with The International Society for the Advancement of David Kessler despite being dead. You will note that being alive is not one of the criteria for membership (though it is encouraged).
