Promising Young Baltimore Countian
| Dies of Cholera in the Fhilippines.-Mr.
| Joseph l.. Larmour, who left Baltimore on
January 9Th last for the Philippines, having
| entered the Government service as civil engi-
neer and been ordered to the Pacific Islands,
died from cholera at Tueuegaro, Luzon, on
| Wednesday, 10th inst. His was the first death
from cholera of an American in the Philip
pines that has been reported for several months.
| Mr.. Larmour, who was the only son of Rev. j.
| w. LaTmour, rector ofSt. Johns Z. X. Church,
Kingsville, Baltimore county, was engaged in
| the construction of ghways in Luzon, having
reached his post only few days prior to being
| sliced with the dread disease. His death was
reported by cablegram to the Bureau of Insular
| Affairs in Washington and the information
! brought with it the request that the young
| mans father be notified. A telephone message
| from Washington to Mrs. Cabell Y. Peyton, of
1907 Mount Royal avenue, Baltimore, a sister
of young Larmour, was the first intelligence
| the family received of the death, and unable
| to secure but meager details over the wires, Mr..
| Peyton made a hurried trip to Washington
| where he called upon the authorities at the In
| sular Bureau.
Mr. Larmour was in the 26th year of his age
and had recently spent great deal of his time
| in Baltimore preparing for the Civil Service
| examination. He sailed from San Francisco
on January 9th. The news of his having fallen
victim to cholera was severe shock to his
sister and his mother who was visiting Mrs:
| Peyton, as the family has been III receipt of
| several letters from him in which he reported
| himself as being in the best of health and
| spirits. The last communication received by
| Mrs. Peyton from him was about ten days be
fore, and was postal card, dated February 3,
and mailed from Shanghai, China.
Young Larmour was civil engineer. He
was educated at Lehigh University, Bethlehem,
| Pa and before entering the Government SER
vice was engaged in railroad construction work
| in Kentucky and Georgia.
| When Mr.. Larmour left for his post in the
| Philippines it was stated that he was to go to
| portion of the islands where the climate was
| conducive to health, and this, coupled with the
| fact that all his letters since leaving home had
been of cheerful nature, allayed all fears his
| family had entertained for his safety. His
brotherin-law, Mr. Peyton, stated that Nj. Lar
mour could have been in the Philippines only
few days before he fell ill, and until his trip
| to Washington confirmed it, the family was
unwilling to believe the news they had re.
| ceived.
On account of the nature of the disease from
which Mr.. Larmour died it will be impossible
| to bring his remains home for burial at this
time. Under the law in the Philippines the
body must remain buried for six months. after
| which it may be shipped unless there is objec-
ton for sanitary reasons. Mr. Larmour and
his sister are the only children of Rev. and
| Mrs. Larmour.
