NEARER MY GOD To THEE
Death of Charles A, Dana, Editor
of the New York Sun.
A BRILLIANT CAREER ENDED
The Foremost journalist of the Republic Passes
10 His Final Home After Several
Weeks Painful Illness.

York Sun died Sunday afternoon at 1:20
at his home i'm Glen Cove, Long Island,
New York after an Illness of many
weeks.
Mr.. Dana was born in Hinsdale,
Cheshire counlty N. H., August 8, 1919,
and he was, therefore, rs years old on
his last birthday. BY descent ON both
sides of the house Mr.. Dana came from
the stout-hearted, rugged-minded New
England stock that bred men like HIM
self and his journalistic foster-father
ard sponsor, Horace Greeley, also a ma
tive of New Hampshire.
The fact of Mr.. Da mas life, chronology
cally stated, show that in 1872 his family
moved to Gaines, N. Y, where they
remained until the following year, when
they returned to New England,
making their home at Guild
hall, VT. In 1881 Charles was sent to
Buffalo, where an uncle lived, and in that
city he attended the preparatory schools
and fitted himself for Harvard, which
he entered in 1889.
The intellectual atmosphere of Hair
ward at that time was singularly suited
to young Dana's mind and temperament.
