land, Cal. early Saturday morning
Not being in usual health he
had been with his daughter in
Vaccaville for rest, hut returned to
Oakland for a few days to attend
to some special duties. In some
way he overtaXed himself, and took
cold, and a cute bronchitis developed
which passed into congestion of the
lungs, accompanied by heart depres-
sion, and ended in death after about
one weeks illness.
DIR. Dwinell was born Oct. "a, 1920,
in East Calais, VT, the little town
which was also the birthplace of the
late Rev. DR.. c. L. Goodell, and Rev.
DR.. n. @. Clark of New York, the
present secretary of the American
Board. He graduated from the Uni
versity of Vermont at Burlington in
the class of 1913, and from the Union
Theological seminary in New York

and ripe experience. Genial, affec

many who mourn as they say, "a
prince and a great man has fallen.'
