Shoe company and prominently identi-
fled with several social organizations in
Worcester, died at his home on Harvard
street yesterday afternoon shortly be-
fore 2 o'clock.
He was attended by DR.. L. f. Wood
ward, but yesterday morning, when his
condition changed apparently for the
worst, Drs. Samuel B. Woodward and
o. H. Everett were called in for a con-
sultation. Medical assistance was of no
avail, however, and he passed away, a
victim of acute gastritis.
For a number of years past he has
had occasional attacks of stomach trou-
BILE, and at times he suffered much from
1t. Illness always came, upon him sud
denly, and seemed to leave him just as
quickly. Often times he would leave his
| business in the evening, feeling perfect
! ly WELL and the following day be con-
fined to his home under the care of a
! trained nurse.
| Owing to the peculiar manner in
which he was seized at times, this last
attack, which came on Sunday even
ing, did not excite any alarm on his
| part, and Monday, when he seemed to
be growing worse, he told his friends
who called to see him, that he would be
up and around again in few days
Tuesday he failed to rally any from
the attack, and Tuesday evening his
condition became alarming.
| Even then he thought he would be on
hts feet the following morning. Yester-
day, early in the day, Dr. Woodward,
| who has been his physician for a num-
| Der of years, saw that there was little
chance for his patient to recover, and
| Immediately called in other physicians
for a consultation.
