OBITUARY..
Stoddart.

Henry 3. Stoddart, a well-known
resident of the city, died this morning
at 1880 o'clock at his home, corner of
| Third avenue and Main street, after an
Illness of twelve weeks with chirrosis of
/ the liver and acute nephritis. Mr.. Stod-
darts death was not a surprise to his
| friends, who have realized for several
days that the end was only a question
of short time.
Mr.. Stoddart was born in Liverpool,
England, Oct s, 1851, and when 16 years
of age went to sea, serving his appren-
ticeship of four years on a merchant
man, Sir Henry Lawrence, in service
| between Liverpool and Calcutta. Upon
the completion of his apprenticeship he
took a position of second mate on the
Canopas, an ocean steamer also plying
between Liverpool and Calcutta, and
remained in the British merchant serv-
ice two years, when he decided to quit
the sea and come to America. He ar
rived in New York in 1873, and imme-
diately came to this city. where he has
since lived, with the exception Of two
years, spent in Topeka, Kas.
Mr.. Stoddart, upon coming to this
city, engaged in the lumber business
with VI. IbOSeIS, NOW Ol
and remained in.business seven or eight
ears. afterwards being affiliated with
his brother, the late Tom Stoddart. He
was married March 1, 1876, to Miss Ella
z. Epson, and nineteen years ago pur-
chased the property at the corner of
Third avenue and Main, which has been
conducted as boarding house and no.
tel ever since.
Mr.. Stoddart leaves, besides his wife,
two sons, Messrs. Earl and Harry Stod-
dart, and one brother Atkin Stoddart,
the latter of London. Mr.. Stoddart was
not member of any of the local secret
or fraternal societies, but in his young
manhood had been member of the
Masonic fraternity. His membership
was held in his native country, and was
never transferred when he came to
America.
The funeral will be held from the
residence Thursdy afternoon at 2:30l
o'clock. The house will be open to
friends from to $50 Rev. F. W. Rus
sell will officiate and the interment will
be in Riverside. The pail bearers will
