 public schools of that city and then en- tering the University of Pennsylvania was graduated from that institution in the class of 1889 at the very early age Of seventeen years Despite that fact he was the first scholar in his class, graduating with high honors, He then entered the General Theological semi nary in New York city and made his mark there. He was always brilliant scholar, and one of great promise. Be ing of very studious nature he mas tered every detail of his work, and in consequence was regarded in after life as one of the most brilliant men and thinkers in the ministry in the United n States. He was always very broad aad comprehensive His first parish was at Oyster Bay, l.. l., of which he took charge shortly after his gradua- tion from the General Seminary. This was the home of his wife, who was Miss DeKay. It will be well remember cd that his beloved wife departed this life only last October, and was the last of his family, the other members hav- ing died some years previous.
 After about year Rev. Mir. Harwood accepted call to the parish at Ches- ter, N. Y, and later took charge of the work in connection with Grace chapel, which is now known as the Church of the Incarnation In New York city. He was the first rector of that church. In 1852 his health failed and he was obllg- ed to go to Europe in an effort to re- gain his strength. He remained in Europe for about a year visiting vari- ous places and returned to accept chair in the Berkeley seminary, Mid dletown. This was in the year 1855 He was there about six years, until 1S59 when he accepted a call to the rector ship of Trinity church, this city. He was rector of Trinity church for thirty-six years, or from 1859 until 1885, when he resigned. During his rector ship many changes were wrought, poth in the external and internal part of the church. and the old church that was became the new church that is. The Temple street rectory and parish house, ,the Trinity chapel and Old La dies home on George street were erect ed, the tower added to the church and also the new chancel. The church ln- creased very materially along every line during his connection and was ex- ceedingly prosperous The progress made during his active retirement from the ministry has been in accord with his introductions

 Rev. Dr. Harwood was member ot fhe general convention of the church from 1877 until 1895, at which time' having retired from active work in the church, it was necessary for hlm to re- sien from the convention. He was also a member at various times of many m portant committees of the church m the state. He was member or the committee on canons in the Connecu- cut diocesan convention, and was TOT some time the co1lmittee's chairman' He was archdeacon of New Haven TOT several years and was member or the committee in charge of the aged ana infirm clergy of the diocese or Connec- ticut He was also one ot the eXamlh- ing chaplains of the diocese. In lSe2 he received the honorary degree of doe tor of divinity from Trinity college, Hartford Numerous pamphlets Of inn portance were written by the deceased Dr. Harwood's chief literary work was the translation from the German of one volume of Lange's commentar- ies on the Old Testament. He was closely associated with many important movements in the Episcopal church, and was among those interested in ana most influential in instituting the church congress of the Episcopal church in the United States. There has been such congress in the Eng fish church. and it was largely, if not chiefly through Dr. Harwood's instru- mentality that it was instituted In this country. Dr. Harwood had been abroad many times, but for the three winters previous to his retirement from the ministry he spent the winters in florl- da.
 The last illness of the deceased was only of a weeks duration. Last sun day he began to feel unpleasant symp- toms. but thought nothing much Of them and on Monday he was able to read somewhat On Tuesday the trouple Increased and on Wednesday he felt much worse. He was taken to his bed on Thursday and from that time grad- ually grew worse until the end came The exact nature of the fatal illness was not known, but internal compllca- lions were the cause He was perfect ly conscious until almost the last, and although everything possible was done his life could not be prolonged. The performing of an operation on a younger person similarly afflicted might have resulted in restoring the patient to health, but at his age 1t was imprac- ticable to attempt it.
 The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at o'clock at Trinity church.
