Biographical.

General Hancock was born in Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania, Feb. H. 1924 he entered
the West Point Academy in 1910, graduated in
1874, and in 1916 received his commission of
Lieutenant OF infantry. He served during the
Mexican war, was promoted for his gallantry
and, having filed several subordinate posts was
made Assistant Quartermaster of the Western
Department with the rank of Captain on the
staff, which rank he held at the outbreak of the
civil war. In 1861 he was appointed Brigadier
General of volunteers, and served in the ARMY
of the Potomac. He accompanied General Me-
Clellan's army to the Peninsula In 1852 and
distinguished himself in the battle OF Williams
burg.
At the battle of Fredericksburg, in December
1862 he commanded division which suffered
severely, and for his meritorious conduct on
this occasion he received commission as major
general OF volunteers. He took part in the battle
OF Chancellorsyille. When the advance Of the
Union and Confederate forces encountered at
Gettysburg, July i, 1863 and the Union forces
were driven back, Hancock was sent
forward by Meade to decide whether a
and IL so, although he was outranked by
Howard, who was on the field was ordered to
take the command until Meade should come up.
In the decisive engagement July Hancock's
division bore the prominent part, although he
himself was severely wounded early i'm the en-
gagement. He recovered sufficiently to return
TO duty Dec. ~, 1853, but was unable to COM
mand a body OF troops until April, 1864, when
he was promoted to the command OF the Second
Army Corps and was engaged in all the battles
OF the Wilderness campaign, from May 8
TO June 10, 1864 when the breaking out OF
the old wound received at Gettysburg compelled
him to leave for time. He returned to his
command in July, and remained with IL until
Nov 26, 1864, being subsequently engaged in
lighter duties until the close of the war He
was promoted to be Brigadier General Of the
regular army in August, 1864, Brevet Major Gen.
eral March 19, 1865, and Major General OF the
United States army July %, 1860.
After the war he was SUCCESSFULLY commander
Of the Middle Department, 1S65-66 of the Mis-
souri,. 1866 6-67; Of the Department of Louisiana
andi Texas, 1S67-69, and Of the Department OF
Dakota, 1069-72 Upon the death Of Gen. Meade
November, 1872, the President, in acknowledge
ment OF his great military services, appointed

ment of the East, with headquuarters at
Governors Island, New York, . position

death, being one OF the three Major
Generals in the United States Army.
In 1868 Gen. Hancock prominent candi-
dato for the Democratic nomination to the

Inc cause OF his death was a carbuncle, located
ON the back OF his neck combined with kidney
trouble. The carbuncle first made its annaaT
ance Jan. "a, while the General was In Washine-
ton, whittier he had gone ON private business.
n ne Deiieved It to be a boil, and had it laneed.
III caused him considerable annoyance for two
or three days, but ON Friday, the 10Th ult. he
telt in the best OF health and spirits He re-
turned to New York ON that day The sup
posed boil began to trouble the General after
his return TO Governors Island, and a week ago
Today Dr. Janeway pronounced IL O carbuncle
sIl ana pegan 70 treat Il as such. Two days later
tne denerals condition was apparently much
improved. The carbuncle however broke out
afresh on the 7th with great deal OF vigor. II
grew grew worse and worse until IL o'clock at night,
when the General became delirious. The fol.
lowing day the kidney trouble was discovered
and the patients condition was for the flrst
! time considered DANGEROUS. Early this morn
ing ne became unconscious. DR. jane
way called in Col. Charles Suther-
ed ed for DIR. D.. M. stimson, OF this
siclans examined the patient, and soon saw that
Gen. Hancock's hours were numbered. He sank
steadily from that time forth until he died

and preparation was made to treat them. but
they did not appear, and the General passed
away quietly. In the room at the time, in addi-
Ilon 10 tne physicians, were Gen. James b. FRY
Lleut Eugene Griffin, an aid-de- camp Hospital
Steward Robinson, and Orderly John Ward who
had been in constant attendance on the sick
man for several days past The patient had
been unconscious for about six hours previous
to his death.
Mrs. Hancock was in the adjoining room when
her husband passed away She had been up
Win the General all night, and left him at four
O'Clock in the morning. Even then the sick
man seemed to realize that his end was draw
ing near. AS his wife imprinted a farewell kiss
on his sunken cheek he murmured: HOb Allie
Myra, good Allie was pet name by
