afternoon of Monday, February 9th. As
is generally known. he was most intimate
ly connected with Norwich University-in
fact, had been its steadfast, answering
friend from its early days. Hence, those
connected with the university feel his
death most poignantly. The general felt
somewhat indisposed the morning of the
day he died; so much SO that he decided
not to go up to the university building.
but called in II physician, who discovered
nothing alarming about his condition
His indisposition seemed to wear off ant
he felt much better. Not far from =
o'clock he walked to the window and look
ed out where men were splitting wood ir
his dooryard and soon stepped back an(
sat down in chair. from which he sui
denly fell to the floor, and in Il few mo
ments the body which had enshrned ;

seventy years was without Il tenant. Some
form of heart disease must have causet

years, less a few days. He graduated
from Norwich University in 1886, AM
