day it was declared he could
see New York 40 miles away.
His view was magnificent. 1t
was there he was taken on
Aug. %, when he arrived from
Europe, where he had taken
the cure at Bad Gastein and
submitted himself to the care
of Austrian specialists.
Mr.. Harriman's wife was
Miss Mary Averill, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, whose father, w. 7.
Averill, a banker, was largely
interested in the Rome, Amster-
dam and Ogdenburg railroad
and had large means. The
marriage proved a most happy
one. Five children were born,
three girls and two boys. The
eldest daughter is the wife of
Robert L. Gerry, son of Com
modore Elbridge T. Gerry, the
second daughter is Mary, and
the third Carol. The eldest son
Walter Averill, is just out of
college and is learning the rail-
road business. The youngest,
Roland, is IA years old and stiii
in school.
From all parts of the country
comes a flood of tributes upon
Mr.. Harriman's career and life
work-from railroad presidents
from bankers and from men
prominent in all walks of busi-
ness and financial life. Friends,
former business associates and
even rivals of the great rail
road man, spoke as a unit of
his tremendous power for work.
Az to the probable effect of his
death on the financial world,
there was a variety of opinion,
but comment was generally
rather guarded.
One of the finest tributes to
Hartman came from Jas. !.
Hill, another giant among the
railroad builders and at one
time business adversary. He
said: II have always regarded
Mr.. Hartman very highly.
have done a good deal of bust.
ness with him in the last few
years and some of it, as you
know, has been of a rather
strenuous character. So l think
that l ought to know him pref.
ty we'll. He did the WORK of
several men during his life
time. He was one who never
left anything undone and there
are few men in this country
whose place it will be harder to
fill. 1t is greatly to be regret
ted that Mr.. Hartman could
not live to complete all the
work which he had set out to
do.
"There could not be any seri.
GUS financial disturbance as
the result of his death. All Mr..
Harriman's properties are in
good shape. He was not one
who would leave his affairs so
situated that the wolves could
prey upon them. The great
railroad systems which he had
created will run along as usual
and somehow or other his place
will be filled, for all of US die
and yet the world wags on.
"Mr. Hartman suffered in
tensely during his illness. HI
was beyond human aid. In
view of the suffering which he
had to undergo and which he
faced so bravely I believe that
he is happier now. The people
of the United States are no,
likely to forget the great worl
which he has accomplished TO,
them.
