Death of Henry White.

| Our city has met with loss which will be deeply felt in the community in the death of | Henry White last evening, which it is our sad duty to record. Mir. White had been out riding and was in his usual health yesterday morning, although for year or two past he had felt the infrmities of age creeping upon him. Shortly after dinner he complained of severe pain and was prostrated Medical aid was of l no avail and he expired at about five minutes past p. m., conscious to the last, and pass ing away like unto one who gathers his | mantle about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. The deceased was native of New Haven and was in the 18th year of his age
 He was in every sense of the word refined, cultured gentleman, one who was an or nament to the city and whose long and blameless life a shining testimony for probity, honor, virtue and Christian char
 acter. For period of about forty years, perhaps longer, he had been deacon in the Center church, as was his father before him.
 Judge Dyer White. The White homestead
 still standing on the corner of Orange and Center streets, is well remembered by many of our citizens. Under most excellent parental
  tate. He entered Yale and graduated in 1921 with high honors. He was valedictorian of his class. Upon graduating at Yale the de- ceased studied law and became member of the bar. He served as tutor at Yale with great acceptance for many years. For many years past he had devoted his attention to the care of estates, and such was This fidelity tO Q mt frI1S kaJ his care that his name was as synonym for probity and high-minded integrity. In his long practice of this speciality the deceased attained an acquaintance with the history of New Haven landed property from the earliest colonial times to the present, which was invaluable and constituted him an author ity on titles, unsurpassed and unapproached. MT. White was of scholarly tastes, quiet, unas- suming studious and a reader of many works. He possessed fine library, and was devotedly fond of his books. He was a genial, gentle man, and beloved by large circle of friends, who will revere his memory. He married, January 7, 1880, Miss Martha Sherman, now left widow, a granddaughter of Roger Sher- man, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence Last January they celebra- ted the golden anniversary of their wedding, an event fraught with great pleasure to all who were so fortunate as to be present Last Commencement, also, his college class held meeting at his house, an occasion of precious moment to those present. few weeks ago a son, Willard Wetmore White, died. He was engaged in the mining interests of Nova Scotia. This was the first break in the fam fly circle, which had been unbroken by death for fifty years, and now the father, loved and endeared, has passed away. His death was caused by neuralgia of the heart Six sons survive, one grandson (son of Willard) and eight granddaughters. The news of the death of MT. White will cause general sorrow in the community, for of him it may be said
 None knew him but to love him."

Judge sexmour,s Golden Wedding.

Judge Seymour's Golden Wedding.
 ! Old Litchfeld Hill has seldom been more l interested in any local or social gathering ! than 1t was on Tuesday afternoon and even- ! ing, the 9th, when the esteemed Judge Origen ! s. Seymour and wife celebrated their ''gold- ! en wedding" There were guests from far | and near-among them the Hon. Horatio ! Seymour, of New York State, the honored ! and widely known Democratic leader who de- | clined the presidency. He is cousin of the Judge and comes from old Litchfield stock. 1 Ex-Governors English and Ingerson were present, and Governor Andrews. The bench | was represented by Judges Beardsley, San | ford and Loomis of the Supreme Court, the bar by such leaders as Robinson of Hartford, Baldwin of New Haven, and others; and there were many we'll known persons from various parts of the State. Two of the Judge's cousins who were present, one from Michigan and one from Illinois, were aged 8S and S2. The celebration was in the old homestead, which was the home of the bride and groom fifty years ago. The invitation general ! to all their friends in Litchfield, and it was generally accepted; for in no other section are Judge Seymour and wife more highly es- teemed than at home Floral decorations were profuse and tasteful; vines and flowers gracefully set off by brilliant autumn leaves made ntt1ng aQOrnmenG TOT GA1S interesting occasion. Requests had been made that no presents should be brought but such was the feeling of the friends that many rare and exquisite floral offerings were presenter among them one great vase of orchids, a present from New York, and singularly beau
 tiful one-representing, in it's greenhouse
 development, some of the most curious and
 lovely forms of the tropical flora. Indeed
 every room was filled with rare and beautiful
 flowers. A fine collation. was one feature of
 the occasion. The crowd of callers broke up
 shortly after p. m., the hour fittingly
 named for the limit of the celebra
 ton, and the wishes for contin- ued long life and health to the esteemed
 couple were general and sincere. No man in I Connecticut was ever more honored for per feet probity, in all the relations of life, than Judge Origen $. Seymour. His stainless life record-his pure character-is an honor to the Connecticut bench, to the town which ] gave him birth, and to the State itself. Such life and character, exempifying the better be devoted when united to a thoroughly hon. est and conscientious character. is an encour- agement and example to the rising genera tion who are personally strangers to some of the eminent former professional associates of Judge Seymour, but are permitted to see in 1 him the union of the best qualities which go l to the character of the most honored citizen. 1 Holmes, Booth & Hayden-TOtal Insur- |
