Church, died at his home, 1907 Massa
chusetts avenue northwest, Washing
tom D. c., Saturday morning at 7:3C
o'clock. Pneumonia, contracted II
New York, is given as the cause of hl'
death.
For several days the patients condi
ton had been serious, but not unit
Friday night was it realized by those a
his bedside that the crisis was near
His death, therefore, came as a great
shock to his friends, his churchmen and
co-workers.
Bishop Satter1ee began to fail at mid
night, and he told those about him that
he believed the end was near. His i'm
mediate family at once gathered at his
bedside.
. The Bishop died repeating the words
"Holy, holy. holy" from the sanesus
He shook the hand of each one present,
: bestowed upon them his blessing, spec
LEGALLY mentioning his nurses and those
who had attended him during his or
deal. A few moments before he expir-
ed he once more called the watchers to
to his bedside and spoke few works of
spiritual encouragement to them and
pronounced the benediction as he clasp
ed the hand of each relative and friend
for the last time.
Gathered about the bedside were his
wife, his daughter, Miss Constance Sat
terlee; Rev. w. I'D Thomas, diocesan
missioner, who administered the holy
communities Just prior: to death; the
Bishops Sister, Miss Jennie Catln ;
DR.. and Mrs. VIM. G. Rives, intimate
friends of the family; Rev. Robert E.
Browning, the Bishops chaplain; Sec
retary Warner, the nurses and DR.. i'll
ton Cuthbert and DR.. 81. B. Deale, at
tending physicians.
The life ofeE:the eminent clergyman
had been given up by his physicians
: early in the night. He had been attend
ed in his short illness by DR.. J. H. Bry-
an, of Washington city, assisted by DR..
Thayer, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
in Baltimore.
Knowing that death was near, Bishop
Satterlee asked two hours before the
end that holy communion be admins
tered to him. This seemed to give him
infinite satisfaction. From that time on
he spoke to those about him of things
Oft 70 ho 70 t
that he was reconciled to death. He
touched pathetically upon the subject
of the work which he would leave be-
hind, and spoke of the hope of immor-
tality.
The early part of the week Bishop
Satterlee attended meeting of the
Board of Missions in New York. Or
Thursday of the same week he left New
York for Providence to be present at
meeting OF the committee on the Cathe-
dral, in which project he was an ARDEN
worker. While returning from Provi-
dence the boat on which he had taken
passage was delayed on the river for
several hours, owing to dense fog. II
is thought that he contracted cold at
that time, which ultimately developed
into pneumonia. On Friday night be-
fore Bishop Satterlee further expose
himself BY attending a confirmation ser
vice in one Of the chapels of South
Washington. The night was particu-
larly bad one, and it is thought that his
exposure on this occasion greatly ag
gravated his malady. Notwithstanding
his condition, he participated in the
services of confirmation at St. Philips
Chapel, Anacostia, on Sunday morning
These were the last rites ever perform
ed b. Bishop Satterlee.
Pneumonia developed on the follow
ing Monday and the condition of the
eminent prelate became alarming. Il
was not thought, however, by his i'm
mediate family and his friends that
there was any danger of death, an
even up to the very last those who were
near him entertained hope for his re-
covery.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
and the Bishop of London were notified
Immediately of the death of the prelate.
Bishop Satterlee was friend of the
Bishop of London, the latter havin
been house guest of the deceased dur
ing his recent visit TO Washington
