The city papers Wednesday car
ried announcement of the death OF
Samuel Dellenbaugh of New York
City. which occurred Tuesday. He
was past 80 years of age, and was
born at this place, in the brick
house which adjoins the Cochran
Cigar factory. He was member
of the party which went down the
Colorado river in the year 1871 and
charted the Grand Canyon fully for
the first time. Besides being an ex-
plorer, he was an artist, writer and
an architect. He was founder OF
the New York Explorers club, and
was one of the prominent men list
ed in Who's Who.
Several years ago Captain Irven
Travis saw an illustrated article in
paper, by Mr.. Dellenbugh, In
which it was stated that he was
born at McConnelsville. Immediate
ly Mr.. Travis set about to learn of
his connection here, his later life,
etc. They soon became acquainted
through letter writing, and a very
warm friendship developed, and
while Mr.. Travis was delighted in
forming his acquaintance, it would
seem from letters received that Mr..
Dellenbaugh was still more highly
pleased in finding Mr.. Travis, and
he had made plans to visit this
place. Mr.. Dellenbaugh sent Mr.
Travis three of his books, which Mr.
Travis in turn presented to the
Kate Simpson Love library here
Mr.. Travis also has in his posses
sion a number of Mr.. Dellenbaugh's 3
letters. pictures, etc,
The deceased was perhaps the
most noted man ever born at Nc
Connelsville. Had it not been that
Mr.. Travis interested himself in the
manner which he did, the chances
are that that fact never would have
been known In one of his many
letters to Mr.. Travis, Mr.. Dellen-
baugh stated Mr. Travis letter was
the first letter he had ever received
from McConnelsville, and he had
given Mr.. Travis pressing invita-
ton to visit him if ever in New
York. Mr.. Dellenbaugh leaves one
son who is an electrical engineer.
