About Wilhelm Heinrich Friedrich Molly

Lived 1838 – 1919 (aged 80). Wilhelm Heinrich Friedrich Molly was a German esperantist, physician and general practitioner, known for Philately.

Wilhelm Molly (1838–1919) was a doctor, philatelist, activist, and Esperantist.

He was the chief medical doctor of the Vieille Montagne mining company.

As an avid philatelist, he tried to organize a local postal service with its own stamps. This enterprise was quickly thwarted by Belgian intervention.
