Mr.. Greenwood had met his class
at the law college Wednesday evening
and was in the best of spirits. Thurs
day morning, however, he complained
of a headache and did not go to his
Office at Gil Kansas avenue. He also
declined to attend a luncheon party
which his sister gave for himself and
few friends. His wife and little son
went while he remained at home, say
ing he would lie down 1t seems he
felt better soon for he got up and ar
rived at his sisters house before noon
and in time for the luncheon.
After the luncheon, the women voted
to go downtown to do some shopping
and, not suspecting Mr.. Greenwood
was seriously i'll, did so leaving the
little girl with him. Mr.. Greenwood
lay down on a davenport. The little
girl noticed something in his look
neighbors asking them to see what
was the matter.
Drs. NJ. A. F'lorsch and w. D. Storrs
were called Immediately, but Mr..
Greenwood was beyond help in death
when they arrived. The doctors at
blood clot on the brain forming from
ruptured blood vessel.
Mr.. Greenwood is survived by his
wife and 9-year-old son. George WASH
ington Greenwood. His wife was Miss
Daisy Smith, whom he married in
I1S9S. The home is at 1921 Western
avenue His father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Greenwood. 1901 Har-
rison street, a brother, A. W. Green
wood, who lives with them, and the
sister, at whose home he died, also

L. H. Greenwood was one of the
most active men connected with Wash
burn college and her welfare. Grad
uating with the class of 80, he entered
the law school of Michigan University
at Ann Arbor, took a degree and be-
gan practice in the law office of Hazen
& Isenhart. Later he entered part
nership with Judge A. J. McCabe, now
in the departm ent of justice at Wash
ington. He has been practicing alone
for nearly ten years.
Returning to Topeka from Ann Ar
Dor Mr.. Greenwood took an energetic
part in the upbuilding of the strug-
Cling Washburn college. He repre-
scented the alumni on the board of
| trustees for the past fifteen years and
several years ago was made secretary
| of the board. He was one of the first
| to propose the establishment of a law
department in connection with the
other departments of Washburn and
worked necessarily along that line.
| The high standard attained by that
department in the past four years re-
fleets not a little credit upon him. He
was always much interested in ath-
| letics and with trustee and law school
backing in the athletic board exerted
| a great deal of influence. He was an
| advocate of the tight door" policy
and a hard worker for the reputation
the college has gained for clean and
sportsmanlike athletics.
Mr.. Greenwood also was actively
concerned with lodge work, being a
/ member of Sloan lodge of Masons
and a member of the Modern Wood
men.
In all his activities, both in his pro-
fession and in the college, Mr.. Green
wood was upheld as a straightforward,
honest, and energetic worker, whether
as colleague or as an opponent. He
| was 4 3 years old
1.-The work done by Mr.. Greenwood
! in this school can not be done by any
other one man. 1t will have to be done
| by committee said Dean William
| r. Arthur, of the Washburn law
school. Ever since the founding of the
school L. H. Greenwood has managed
| its affairs so far as instruction goes.
He has managed the courses from the
| beginning and secured lecturers in the
| branches. He understood the minute
| details of the work and the needs OF
no lecturer was available for certain
subjects he ably fulfilled this office.
In the four years of the existence of
| the college, he has delivered no less
! than 300 lectrueS. And yet for all his
! work, he accepted not one cent of sal
| airy. The Washburn law school has
| lost it's most enthusiastic champion and
| his place will be very difficult to fill -
| Dean Arthur mas declared the law
school closed for the remainder of the
| week.
There will be a meeting of the Bar
| Association at the court house al 9 a.

| ga riding the funeral of l.. H. Greenwood.
