The remains Of John santry, who re"
ceived fatal injuries at the shop of the
J. Glib Smith Co., where he was en-
ployed, early Tuesday morning, and
died at the New Haven hospital be-
fore II a. M, were brought to his late
home, No. 217 Lloyd street, yesterday
morning. The news Of his death came
as great shock to his many friends.
He was of a genial disposition, stead
fast and true in his friendship, and
had hosts of friends who will sincerely
lament his sudden death. The loss in
his immediate family is terrible one,
and his relatives will receive earnest
sympathy in this sad hour.
John Santry was born in Lowell,
Mass, and was in the forty-ninth year
of his age. His parents died when he
was young, and he left home early in
life, working for time in factory at
Springfield, Mass, and later coming to
Hartford, where he remained for
time. About Twenty-Five years ago he
came to New Haven with the intention
of going to sea, but dropping in to
the shop of Lewis & Beecher, which
later became the J. Glib Smith Co.,
he hired out and worked there for
time, and afterwards began work with
the old Porter Stair Co., where he re-
mained for about twenty years. He
had been with the Smith Co. for the
past six or seven years. He was an ex-
cellent workman and was usually Sc
lected to do fine work on the machines.
He considered the moulding machine
the most dangerous, and had said he
would not work on it again, as it was
not his regular job, but with his usual
desire to oblige, he went to work with
it the morning of his death.
The deceased leaves a widow and two
children-Mrs. Samuel r. Bishop and
Harry v. Santry. The members of his
family were at the hospital before his
death, and his last words to his son
were Good bye, Harry, dear boy; take
good care of your mother" The de-
ceased also leaves a sister, Mrs. George
Martin of Lebanon.

Of the T. 0. 0. F., and was past grand
Of Quinnipiac lodge. He was greatly
interested in the order and filled all the

was a member of the National Blues,
became first sergeant, and declined a
promotion to the lieutenancy. At the
time of his death he was a member of
