 N I<|N$z<n1sss>>' MT. Hyde might recover. The immediate cause of death was probably heart fail ure resulting from weakened condition of the hearts action.
 Last August MT. Hyde and Mrs. Hyde accompanied their son, Frank E. Hyde, to Europe, and while there, at Brides-les- Rains, he was stricken with an apparent sinking spell, but recovered from it's ef- fects. Since then he has had several sim- liar attacks.

 MT. Hyde leaves wife, who is daugh- ter of the late Judge Loren Pinckney Waldo, two children, Mayor William Waldo Hyde and Frank Eldridge Hyde, United States consul at Lyons, France, and two grandchildren, Bessie Hyde and Alvan Waldo Hyde, children of Mayor Hyde.

Mrs. Charles Fox of Stafford and Mrs. George Sexton of this city. Mrs. Hyde is sis ter of Mrs. Cynthia Paulina Marvin of this city, the wife of Captain Edwin E..

A brother, Loren Pickney Waldo, Jr., died in Washington in 1865 during the war, leaving 8 daugh- ter, Emma Waldo, who has always lived in MT. Hyde's family.
 Alvan Pinney Hyde was born March 10, 1925, at Stafford. Conn.,, the son of Alvan and Sarah (Pinney) Hyde. His father, who died in 1S41, was the son of Nathaniel Hyde of Stafford. Both his father and grandfather were successful iron manu- died in 1849, was the daughter of Isaac Pinney of Stafford. His parents were among the foremost people of the town. MT.

Among his classmates were Gen. eral Henry B. Darlington, William D. Downes of Birmingham, General Basil Duke of St. Louis, the late Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago, George w.

 After graduation MT. Hyde began the study of law with the late Judge Loren P. Waldo at Holland. He was admitted to the bar in Holland in 1847 and began practicing in Stafford. In September, 1849, he married Miss Frances Elizabeth Waldo, the daughter of Judge Waldo, af- ter which he removed to Holland, where he continued to practice, and was also president of the Holland County Bank for several years. In 1864 he removed to Hartford and joined his father-in-law in the practice of law as Waldo & Hyde. In 1867 the firm became Waldo, Hubbard & Hyde, by the admission of Governor Hub bard; afterwards Hubbard Hyde < Gross, Charles E. Gross having been admitted to the firm in 1877, previous to the death of Judge Waldo. Upon the death of ex- Governor Hubbard and the admission of William Waldo Hyde and Frank B.

 MT. Hyde was a democrat in politics, and in his early years a very active one. He represented Holland in the general as- sembly in 1854, 1858 and 1863. After the war he was three times candidate for congress, but was defeated, the last time by Judge Dwight Loomis. He never held political office after his removal to Hart ford.
 Next to his home and family Mr. Hyde loved his alma mater. He was an enthu- siastic Yale man and attended all the re- unions of his class and every other Yale event possible. He was president of the Yale Alumni Association of Hartford, but was prevented attending the recent annual banquet over which his son, Mayor Hyde, presided, by his enfeebled condition. He was always host at any Yale entertain ment; his speeches the wittiest and his laughter the most contagious.
 Mir. Hyde was one of the ablest lawyers in the state, holding pre-eminent posi- tion at the bar. He was distinguished as 8 court lawyer and in the handling of commercial suits. His great legal ability and impressive eloquence have frequently been made manifest in trials before juries in which he stood without superior in the state. MT. Hyde was past grand master of the Grange Lodge of Connecti- cut, A. F. and A. M., having served as such for two terms, 1S62-64. He joined the order in 1858 as a member of Uriel Lodge, No. 4, at Morrow Station. He was a great traveller, delighting in speAd- ing his summer travelling in Europe or in this country, always accompanied by Mrs. Hyde. A few years ago he made trip to Alaska.
 MT. Hyde was regular attendant at the South Church and was at one time a member of the society's committee. He was much interested in church matters. His funeral will be attended at 2 o'clock Thursday, probably at the South Church. Rev. Dr. Parker will officiate.
 The Hartford Bar Association will hold a meeting tomorrow or Thursday morn- ing to take action regarding Mr. Hyde's death.
