W. F. OTIS DIES
UNCONSCIOUS SINCE LAST
MONDAY.
Postofice Man and Civil Wal Veteran
Passes Peacefully Away at His
Irvington Home.

William F. Otis, for eighteen years SUI
perintendent of the inquiry division of the
Newark Postoffice and employed by the
postal authorities In various capacities dur
Ing several years prior to that, died at his
home, los South Twenty-second street, r.
vington, late yesterday afternoon. A eau
Ger of the intestines, from which he had
suffered for over two years, was the cause
Of his death, but his condition was not
regarded as being serious until about a
month ago. Up to hat time he declined to
be examined, believing that lumbago or
rheumatism was the cause Of his suffering
and that he could overcome the trouble
himself.
Al that time his fellow employees in the
Newark Postoff1ce induced him to be ex-
amined and 1t was not till then that the
real nature of his affection was discovered.
It was then too late to operate. Monday
Mr.. Otis lost consciousness and he passed
away quietly yesterday.
The funeral will take place at 2:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon from his home. The
Rev. William H. Halner, pastor of the
First Christian Church, of Irvington, will
conduct the services, and interment will be
in Paramount Cemetery.
Mr.. Otis, who was a veteran of the Civil
War, was born in Washington, Conn,
sixty-ive years ago, but spent much of his
life In Danbury, where he followed his
trade as a halter. About thirty years ago
he came to this city, where he continued
to work at his trade for a few years. He
was active in Republican politics up to
the time he entered the governments en-
ploy, and he was Intimately acquainted
with many well-known politicians.
His war record began July 16, 1862, when
he enlisted in Company C of the Seven
teenth Connecticut Volunteers. He served
in the Eighth and Eleventh Corps and in
the Army of the Potomac; was engaged in
the defense of Washington, and went
through a long list of important engage
ments. In the siege of Richmond he was
captured by the Confederate forces, and
was imprisoned in Belle Isle, Va, until
he was paroled. Formerly he was a mem

but of late years mad belonged to the
Irvington Veterans Association. He was
an active member of the First Christian
Church Of his home town. The survivors
