Dedham, Mass, Sept. 29.-Thomas f.
Bayard died at 4.30 yesterday afternoon
at Karlstein, the summer residence of
his daughter, Mrs. Samuel d. Warren,
after an illness of six weeks. His death
was without pain. His wife, his two
daughters, Mrs Warren and Miss Flor
ence Bayard, and his son, Thomas F.,
Jr., saw him draw his last breath, and
his third daughter, the Countess Lau-
enhaupt, was on her way to Dedham.
Karlstein lies off the Needham road.
Here about the middle of August came
Mr. Bayard to be the guest of his
daughter and son-in-law. He was sick,
but it was given out that his illness
was merely due to declining years. He
steadily grew weaker however, and
had spells of semi-consciousness and of
delirium. A consultation of physicians
was held Aug. 26, and they agreed
that Mr.. Bayard was suffering from
-colorosis and a general breaking
down incident to age. He suffered no
pain to any noticeable degree, and the
chief tendency was to sleep.
During the first few weeks of his ILL
ness Mr.. Bayard was able to sit up,
but as the days passed he became
gradually weaker, and three weeks ago
