Career.


CHICAGO, March "a. Gen. Anson Stager
died at his residence on Michigan avenue at
about 3 n. IN. Thursday. He had been in a
semi comatose condition during most of the
preceding twenty four hours, but was suffi-
GENTLY conscious at the last to recognize
those about him
[Anson Stager was born in Ontario county,
New York, April 3d. 1925. He began life as
printer In 1916 he commenced work as
q telegraph operator in Philadelphia. Two
years after he was made chief operator of
the National lines" at CINCINNATI, and in

lines of the Mississippi Valley Printing Tele.
graph company. He took prominent part
in organizing the various lines and interests
leased by, and consolidated with, the West
ern Union Telegraph company, and upon
the organization OF that company b
was made its general superintendent
In the difficult and complicated work
attending that position Mr.. Stager
laborei assiduously, and the growth and
success of the company in the territory over
which his supervision extended sufficiently
attested his adaptabllity to the work In
1861 he was appointed by the secretary of
war chief Of the United States military tele-
graph throughout the Union. He organized
the military telegraph, and was sub, euuentiy
"
and assigned to duty in the war

of the cipher correspondence Of
the secretary of war. Col. Stager remained
in the service until September, 1865 and
was breveted brigadier general for his valu,
able and meritorious services. After the
close of the war he was asked to assume the
superintendency of the consolidated Western
Union, Southwestern, and American tele-
graph companies, but. preferring to remain
in the west, he accepted the general super
intendeHcy Of tho central division, with
headquarters at Cleveland. In 1860 the
headquarters were transferred to Chicago
and here Gen Stagar found an ample field
In the development OF an admirable system
to meet the increasing wants of an active
business community. His executive ability
was very quickly recognized and his judg-
ment was held III high esteem He be-
came president Of the Western Elec-
trio Manufacturing company Of Chicago
and also president of the American Elec-
trical society, ami was beside a director
in several banks. More recently he was
prominently identified with the telephone
service. and was president of the .Edi-
son Western Light company. OF clear,
quick, and accurate Judgment, full of vital
force and energy. Gjn. Stager always stood
in the front rank of his profession a. a man
of rare administrative talent III social life
