In the February number of the Bankers

notice of the late Samuel Hemingway:
Samuel Hemingway, president of the Sec
ond National bank of New Haven, Conn
died on the last day of the old year, aged
seventy-one years. He had been director
in the bank under its State charter, and in
1867, after the sudden death of the Hon. E.
@. Scranton, who was the president, was
chosen his successor. He was at one time
vice president of the Shore Line railroad, and
an influential director in large number of
the most successful business corporations of
the city. He served on the Board of Educa-
ton for several terms, and many large trusts
were committed to his care. All who were
brought in contact with Mr.. Hemingway were
won by his kindly, genial spirit, his great
integrity, and his clear judgment on business
matters. He was generous and helpful to
young men beginning business life, friend
who gave of his counsel and. aided literally
from his personal means.
