and finally went to Italy, where he per
fected himself in grand opera work and
soon became one of the leaders of the
musical world. He was a master of the
Italian and French languages and sang
with perfection in EACH while also doing
much excellent work in English He
sang in numerous grand opera troupes
and Travelled all over the world A year
in Australia led to an acquaintance which
became one of the pleasantest features OF
his public career. While singing In Mel
bourne he met the late Joseph Jefferson,
and an intimate companionship ensued
that lasted during the time that he spent
in Australia. 1t led to a permanent
friendship that did not end until the
death of the noted actor.
In his operate work Mr.. Squires was
associated with some of the most famous
singers in history. He sang the tenor
roles in support of Charlotte Patti, then
famous, sister of the diva. He was as
ISOLATED with William Vincent Wallace,
who wrote the operas mariana" and
"Lurline." He alternated in many inn
portant tenor roles with the famous Ital-
ian tenor Brignoli. During his Australian
tour he sang in the opera Faust be-
fore 1t was ever produced in New York.
Notable Appearance.
One of his most notable appearances
was in the series of concerts given by
Jenny Lind in Castle Garden, New York,
under the management of p t. Barnum.
Squires sang all the tenor numbers in
those concerts, and on the programmes
appeared the name of Theodore Thomas,
then but an obscure violinist but with
marvellous technique, and rapidly OBJ
tanning recognition.
Mr.. Squires had marvellous memory,
and during his public career memorized
the tenor roles of f1fty-two grand operas,
and never forgot them. One of his pleas
ures during his latter days was to regale
his intimates with accounts of his eXpe-
rlences. Unfortunately, no written record
was kept of these, and the world has lost
much that would be of great value to 1t
in musical anecdote and history. He did
keep a diary, which became quite bulky,
but, unfortunately, upon the death of his
wife, he cast it into the flames. as though
he wished to bury with his beloved dead
the intimate history of their experiences
together in public and private life
Mr. Squires was married in 1870 to Miss
Lucy Hayes, then the prima donna of the
Lister Grand Opera company, of which
Mr. Suuires was the leading tenor. Sub
seuuently he retired and settled down in
Paris, where he resided until the death
of his wife in 1886. He then came to
America and spent some time in various
cities chiefly Bennington, Vt, and later
in Burlington. where he has since resided
His life toward its close, as IT had been
throughout was sweet and lovable, and
in his retirement he was courteous ana
charming gentleman. His funeral was
held here, and his body was taken 10
Bennington, VT, where 1t was lald TO
rest.
