THE LATE DIR. O'CONNOR.
Removal OF Giis Remains 10 His
LGle EROne.

Announcement was made yesterday
of the death, at the Good Samaritan
Hospital by consumption, of the Hon.
John D. O'Connor, member of the Ohio
Constitutional Convention from Seneca
County. The deceased was native of
Monroe County, was born in 1922, be-
ing fifty-two years of age at the time of
his death, and had graduated at med
ical college in this city in 1857. Early
in life he displayed an aptitude for poll
tics, and, although he applied close at
tention to the medical profession, he
found time to devote himself largely to
questions connected with State Govern
nent, and in 1862 be was seEt by the
Democrats of his county to the State
Senate, holding his place until the close
of 1865, displaying throughout ability
of high order. While at Columbus
he became intimately acquainted with
Judge Lang, and through his represen-
ta,ions removed his home from Mon
roesto Titiin, Seneca County. This was
in 1866. Two years after he was elect
ed from that county to the State Legis
lature, meantime procticing medicine,
having gained large snd lucrative bu-
siness, and at the last election be was
chosen member of the Constitutional
Convention, which position he filed to
within short time of his death. Two
weeks ago he became unable to leave
his bed, at the Broadway Hotel, yiel-
dug after long struggle to an ailing
which had begun to show itself before
his arrival here. By the advice of his
physicians, he was conveyed to the
Good Samaritan, but hope for his re-
covery was entertained by few. On
Saturday he died. DR. OConnor stood
pre-eminent among the public men OF
this State for the peculiar straightfor-
wardness of his views, for the tenacity
with which he stood by them, after hav-
ing arrived at a conclusion, and for his
answering fidelity to the doctrines oI
the Democratic party. A man we'll In
formed on public matters, ready and
a pointed speaker, he was notable for
his interest in debate, and for the un.
mistakable directness of his arguments
He took foremost position in the ar.
guments before the Convention, and
was known as one of those men who
when he uttered his opinions, spoke in
manner demanding attention. In pri
vate life DR.. O'Connor was not less
prominent His culture made him ar
agreeable companion. and his manner:
we're those of genial and courteous
gentleman. His personal popularity
among his fellow w-members of the Con
vention was evidenced in the large con
course which attended the funeral cere
menies at the Hospital yesterday, wner'
the Rev w. L. Moore, of the Contra
Christian Church, delivered an impress
i've sermon. The remains were takeI
in charge by the widow and commit
tee composed of Messrs. Okey, Byal
Albright, Mcbride aud Weaver. mem
bers of the Convention, and accompa
MED by them to Titfin for interment.
