 was universally beloved and respected, and by his death . large circle of relations and friends are called to mourn a deep bereavement. g We copy the following deserved tribute to his memory, from the Chicago Post of Feb. 9th ::
 e Within the last two weeks the columns ot the city press have borne too frequent evidence of the truth that death is all around us. DeaIh, at all times common, and to be always regarded as the inevitable law of nature, seems recently to have selected it's victims among our pest known, most useful and dearest loved citizens
 Scarcely has the funeral bell ceased to toll the death of one. when the gates of eternity reopen, and another is summoned to cross tie dark threshold of the hereafter
 This morning the sad duty again devolves
 upon us to chronicle the death of one who was
 well-known and highly esteemed in the business
 circle of Chicago. THEODORE SEDGwIcK died
 at his residence on Quincy street, at half-past
 II o'clock yesterday morning. a..
 Mr. Ssdgwick was only twenty eight years of age He was born in Litchfeld, Connecticut, December, 1882. His parents are now residents of Hartford in that State. He had been for the last two years connected with one of our exten- siye wholesale houses, the present house of Elan dors, Stewart & Co. He was one of the most ac- tive, energetic and clear-headed men to be found among the younger class of those engaged in business pursuits, and his excellent qualities, both of mind and heart, endeared him to all with whom he became acquainted. He was one who combined thorough business qualities with ele- ments of universal popularity. No young man in Chicago could look upon the future with high CT hopes of success.
 About six years ago the writer of this was present at the marriage of two sisters, one of whom became Mrs. Sedgwick, the other the wife of his intimate friend. The same clergyman who on that occasion joined four happy hearts in wedlock, was called two years later to oficiate at the burial of one husband, and to-day win be called to perform the. same solemn office in rela- ton to the other. Both sisters arenow widows.
 In their deep bereavement, the family and re- lations of the deceased will have the sad conso- lation of knowing that many hearts share their sorrow. The sympathy of many friends, though it cannot alleviate, may render the burden of their grief lighter to bear. Let them therefore not be cast down, but look forward with hope still, remembering that death sooner or later is for us all. The earth that to-day closes over the form of loved husband shall again send forth it's bright verdure; and loving hearts that death has separated here shall be reunited in another and brighter world, where there shall be no more partings, no separation, no grief''
