lowing to say of Mr.. A. G. Cazenove,
whose death in that city yesterday
morning was mentioned in the Ca
zETTE of that date
Mr.. Anthony Charles Cazenove died
yesterday morning at his apartments,
No. 7 east Franklin street, of Brights
disease. He had suffered for many
years from the disease, but it culminat-
cd very rapidly, and he had been only
confined to his house, since his return
from Atlantic City, one week prior to
his death. Mr.. Cszenove was forty
eight years old and unmarried. He
was a member of an old and distin-
suished Virginia family, with many
connections in Maryland and through.
out the country. He was son Of
William Gardner Cazenove, a wealthy
md prominent citizen of Alexandria,
Va, and at one time vice president
of the Virginia Midland Railroad.
His mother was Miss Mary Stanard,
celebrated Virginia beauty and a
daughter of Judge Stanard, of the Vir
ginia Court of Appeals, and much
quoted jurist in that State in the early
part of the present century.
Mr.. Cazenove belonged TO one of the
most ancient French families. His
grandfather, MIR. Antoine Charles de
Cazenove, escaped to this country dur
ing the Reign of Terror, in 1892, to
whose persecution he had been subject
ed in Lyons. Mr.. Cazenove's family
originally came from Lyons and were
Huguenots, who emigrated from France
at the time of the revocation of the
Edict OF Nantes, and settled in Switzer-
land, Holland and England. The Swiss
branch returned to France under the
religious federation of the reign of Louis
xvi, that Immediately preceded the
revolution. Being royalists, they suf-
fered fresh persecution, and as result
came to this country. One of the fam
ily settled in the town of Cazenovia, n.
Y, but returned to England afterward,
where his descendants live. The
deceased's grandfather, upon 10
eating in Alexandria, founded
commercial house that was one of
the wealthiest and most prominent of
that day. He was considered one Of
the most eminent financiers of that
time, and had much to do with the es-
adjustment of the first bank in the
United States.
The deceased came to Baltimore
when quite young, although he spent
much of his time in travel, and was
man of high educational attachments.
He was one OF the original members of
the Athenaeum Club, where he was
much esteemed, and where his loss was
yesterday subject of sincere grief to
all members.
His nearest relatives living are cous-
ips, among them Mr.. Archibald b.
Taylor, of Baltimore, and Rev. VIM.
F. Gardner, an Episcopal minister, OF
Howard county. The funeral services
will take place at the old Christ Epis-
copal Church, at Alexandria, of which
he was member, tomorrow afternoon
at four o'clock. The remains, accom-
panied by large party of relatives and
friends, will leave Union station to-
morrow afternoon at 2:25 o'clock for
Alexandria on the Florida special.
Mr.. Cazenove was man of high ed
ucational attainments, having been
graduated from Washington and Lee
University and from the University of
Virginia. He had travelled much in
Europe and had resided much in Balti-
more for the past twenty-five years. He
was at one time in partnership in bust
ness with the late Lambert Cuttings.
His genial disposition had made him
many friends, and at the Athenaeum
Club, of which he was one of the orr
ginal members, his death is much de-
plored.
