facial paralysis and heart trouble
Mr.. Conant was stricken with facial
paralysis on Easter Sunday, April
2i The attack was slight and 1t
was thought that he would recover.
Being incapacitated for work his physi-
clan adv ised long rest. Acting on this
advice Mr. Conant went to Atlantic City
and appeared TO derive benefit from the
visit. Returning to this city and not
improving much he took sea voyage to
Boston, making his home near that city
with friend, Rev. Mr.. Haywood Mr..
Conant did not improve and his mother
went on to Boston and brought him
home, arriving in Wilmington two weeks
ago. He continued TO fail rapidly and
DR.. A. r. Thomas, a prominent homeo
pathic physician of Philadelphia, was call
ed in consultation with Dr. A. Negendank,
Mr.. Conant's physician. No hopes of
recovery were given and death finally
came.

about twenty two years ago from st.
Louis, where he was born on Christmas
Day 1857. His father, Horace A. Conant,
was on the staff of General Lyon, and
did much to prevent Missouri from fol
lowing other Southern States in seeding
He died about 1862 in Washing
ton. After a preparatory course at
T. Clarkson Taylors school in this city
Haywood Conant entered Cornell Uni
versity, from which he graduated in 1875
with high honors. Connecting himself
with Every Evening he was engaged IL
| the city department, the business office
and in the course Of promotion rose tx
the position OF managing editor and
finally to associate editor.
Possessed Of nervots temperament
Mr.. Conant entered with great zest int,
anything that claimed his attention. HI
was magnificent specimen of physica
| development, through his devotion K
athletic sports. Being an active membe
| Of the Delaware Field Club, he was ONT
Of the foremost in all the social features
of that organization. The study o
political economy was with him
speciality, though he was we'll read on al
subjects. His unselfsh and Away

friends and made him popular with al
