road and other matters III which
both were interested drifting finally
into incidents of Mr.. Vanderbilt's lite.
While thus engaged Mr.. vanderbilt's
voice suddenly failed him, and he
fell heavily to the floor face downward,
dead. Assistance was promptly summoned
and restoratives were applied, but he was
beyond human aid, the physician pro-
nouncing the cause of his death paralysis,
caused by tho bursting Of blood vessel at
the base Of ths brain.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was the oldest son of
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and was
born at New Brunswick, N. j., in 1921.
He received an excellent practical
education, and in early life he engaged in
various pursuits, including farming, and
later becoming interested in several rail-
road enterprises, until at tho death of his
father, when he became the possessor of
great wealth, by the aid Of which and his
acknowledged ability, he rapidly rose to be
q master factor In railroad aud financial
affairs of tho country. He leaves four sons,
Cornelius, William T., Fred and George
and three daughters, all married and with
children of their own. All tho sons and
sons-in-law are said to be industrious and
with taste for business, though with the
exception of William K. no ono of them
has yet made any. very deep impression
the business world. Both William K. and
Cornelius have been closely identified with
Mr.. Vanderbilt's railroad business for sew
eral years. past. His wealth is estimated
as at least $500, ooo,0oo largely in govern
ment bonds and railroad securities. His
funeral will take place Friday. .
