 A friend writes concerning him: Mir Gile was indeed beloved by his pupils and the hundreds that were under his charge at Eaton school will recall his name with loving remembrance and hear of his death with sincere sorrow. MT. Gile was an exceptionally able and thorough teacher and was so regarded by our citizens and when he gave up his work as principal of Eaton school and started a private preparatory school for boys he had no difficulty in obtaining enough pupils to make his undertaking success from the start. As already stated, he continued the school until last spring, when he re- tired to his large and fine old farm in Franklin Falls, N. H., with fair promise of living to a fine old age there among the scenes of his boyhood and among the trees and orchards and fields that he loved so well. The news of his death will come as a shock to his large circle of New Haven friends, who knew his estimable character, his fine and high sense of honor and justice, his in- flexible integrity, his urbanity and his regard for the happiness and rights of others. MT. Gile was a member of Center church and regular attendant at worship. He was a devoted and staunch friend and an upright and high minded citizen. For the last fifteen or twenty years his residence had been at the Westmoreland house, State street, formerly the Selden house, and at one time the Madison house. He was devoted to his books and had a fine library and many art treasures.
 His memory will be fondly cherished by many friends.
