DR.. GEORGE Il. IDE DIES HERE
Famous Milwaukee Minister Expired at the
PennOyer Sanitarium Monday Evening.

PennOyer Sanitarium Monday Evening.
The Rev. George H. Ide, D. D.,
pasto.. IF Grand Avenue Congrega-
tional church in Milwaukee, died at
the PeLnoyer Sanitarium shortly after
half-past 5 o'clock Monday evening.
Death resulted from appoplexy. The
end was peaceful and about the bed
side were Mrs. Ide and Mrs. Cooley,
the only daughter of the deceased.
The distinguished patient suffered
stroke of apoplexy on Sunday morn
ing shortly after O'Clock and he
never regained consciousness. His
life was despaired of after Monday
morning when he failed to rally from
the stupor which had been so notice
able to the anxious watchers at the
bedside on Sunday. Sunday afternoon
it was decided to hold consultation of
the doctors in regard to the condition
of DR.. Ide and Doctors Hay, Seamon,
Walbr;dge and Hipp were summoned
from Milwaukee. They met with DR..
Erwin, in charge of the sanitarium,
and from the first it was evident that
there was little hope for the recovery
of the patient.
Not once during the time since the
stroke came did DR.. Ide recover con
seriousness and there was no change in
his condition. The doctors had hoped
that he would be able to survive for
several days but the end came sudden
ly Monday evening.
DR.. Ide had come to the sanitarium
just week ago and at the time he was
suffering from an attack of the grip.
He was not thought to be seriously i'll
and during the week he had shown a,

proved that he had walked about the
parlors of the sanitarium and had
even talked of returning to his work
on Saturday afternoon. His wife and
daughter prevailed upon him to remain
until he was stronger. On Saturday
evening he complained of a weakness
and early Sunday morning he was
found unconscious in his bedroom.
He had been sleeping and the attend
ants and his relatives scarcely noticed
the approach of the fatal stroke.
DR.. Ide:was native of New Eng
land. He was born in St. Johnsbury,
VT, Jan.s21, 1889, and his education
town, where the Tdes have long been
a well known family. In 1861 Mr.. Ide
entered Dartmouth college; but, like
many other ardent young men, he was
carried away by the wave of patriotic
enthusiasm that swept over the north
when the south rose to instruction,
and at the close of his freshman year
in college the young man enlisted in
the Fifteenth Vermont regiment for
the period of one year. He served the
derby sergeant of his company, and
participated in the battle of Getty burg,
besides a number of minor engage
ments and skirmishes.
In 1868 he returned to Dartmouth to
complete his course of studies in that
institution, where he graduated in the
class of 1865. After leaving college
Mr.. Ide returned to Vermont and
taught in the st. Johnsbury High
school for year, after which, having
decided to enter the Congregational
ministry, he became a student at
Andover Theological seminary, from
which he was graduated in the class of
1869 with the degree Of doctor of di-
vinity. Immediately upon receiving
his degree from Andover DR.. Ide re-
ceived call from the Congregational
church of Hopkinton, Mass, which he
accepted. Seven'years we're spent by
DR.. Ide as pastor of the Hopkinton
church, at the end of which period he
went to the Central Congregational
church at Lawrence, Mass.
In 1880 he came to Milwaukee and
had been there since that time.
The remains were taken to Mil
waukee last night.
