Descendants of Joseph Collier

Seventh Generation

96. Henry Ward COLLIER ⁹⁹ ^,223 ^,230 ^,231 (William II⁶⁹, William⁵⁷, Hezekiah Jr. (Capt.)⁴¹, Hezekiah (Capt.)¹⁶, Joseph Jr.², Joseph¹) was born on 9 Feb 1823 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut,^⁹⁹ died on 18 Jul 1865 in Shanghai, China^{²³²^,233} at age 42, and was buried in Shanghai, China.

Death Notes: He was drowned in Shanghai bay at the age of forty-nine years. Some say the result of a mutiny.

Burial Notes: He was buried under the Oriental Pearl Tower in modern Shanghai.

General Notes: He was known by his family as "Henry the Wanderer". His father was Captain William Collier. His mother was a descendant of Andrew Ward who came to Massachusetts in the Puritan emigration. He was a second cousin of Samuel Colt, the inventor of the Colt 45 and remained close to the Colt family. Among other near relations were Henry Ward Beecher, the eminent anti-slavery preacher, and Beecher's daughter and best-selling author Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Like his father, Collier was drawn to the sea at an early age, serving as an able seaman in the New England Clippers when those ships were the primary carriers of world trade. It is not yet quite clear how he met Emily Caroline DeWitt of New Orleans. According to family records she died in childbirth but almost nothing is known of her. Her son, William Hoyle Collier, survived and lived until 1915, becoming a Captain and marine engineer in his own right. After Savannah, according to family lore Henry the Wanderer left young "WH" with the Colt family, and went back to sea. He served in the 1850s in barques such as the Queen of the Seas and the Royal Saxon, which worked the pacific ports of Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Puget Sound, Melbourne and Sydney. He shows up in the Queen of the Seas in Australia as a first mate in 1857. In 1858, during the height of the Sepoy rebellion in British India, he enlisted in the British East Indian Royal Naval Division in Calcutta. Young "WH" would recall being schooled in Calcutta and doubtless it is during this period. In October 1859, Henry the Wanderer rejoined the Royal Saxon on a voyage from Calcutta to the Puget Sound, where he wintered briefly at Victoria in 1959-60. Young "WH" would remember this 1859-1860 visit as his first to the region in which he would ultimately settle in 1876.

In February 1860 he sailed as Chief Officer of the Royal Saxon on a voyage from the Puget Sound to Sydney, arriving in May. "WH" sailed as cabin boy on the voyage, and a letter from Henry to his brother Goodwin Collier survives from this period, mailed just prior to sailing from Victoria. He refers to the beauty of the region and speculated about settling there. He never did, though his son took up the suggestion.
He arrived in Sydney in May 1860 but a record of his travels is not known until his arrival in Shanghai in 1865. Several versions of his death exist in family lore; the most plausible was that he was killed in a robbery while carrying his crew's pay back to his ship. By the time of his death he owned interests in six ships and was always moving between them.

Death Notes: Obituary, The New York Times, published July 19, 1905: Delaware, Ohio, July 18 - "Chaplain G.W. Collier, United States Army, retired, died in this city today, age eighty years. In 1861 he was appointed Chaplain of the Thirty-fourth Ohio Volunteers and served through the war. He received his commission as Chaplain in the regular army from President Hayes in 1879 and last year was commissioned Major by President Roosevelt. He was Chaplain in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic on the staff of Gen. John H. Logan".

Obituary, Daily Gazette, Xenia, Ohio, 18 Jul 1905 (page 6); CHAPLAIN G. W. COLLIER WAS VERY WIDELY KNOWN /As Father of the O. S. & S. O. Home -- Children of the Institution have lost an earnest Friend: Delaware, O., July 17. - Chaplain George W. Collier, U. S. A., retired, one of the most widely known men in Grand Army circles of the state, died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. K. Warner, of this city.
Death was caused by a general decline, due to his advanced age.
He was born at Leroy, Medina county, August 29, 1825, and entered the North Ohio conference in 1850.
In 1861 he was appointed chaplain of the 34th O. V. I., and served with the regiment until mustered out. After the war he again took up his ministerial work holding charges at Toledo, Fremont, Tiffin, Sandusky and Wooster.
In 1879 he was commissioned a chaplain in the United States Army by President Hayes, and last year was commissioned major by President Roosevelt. He was also chaplain-in-public of the United States on the staff of General Logan.
Chaplain Collier was the originator of the plans that later developed into the Ohio Soldier's and Sailors' Orphans' Home, and as founder of that institution is generally known as "Father of the Soldier's and Sailors' orphans." Commissioned by General Kiefer, commander, in 1897, of the G. A. R., to organize the home, he traveled extensively in other states and brought back ideas that have not only made the Xenia Home a model of its kind, but established a standard for children's homes throughout the world. The "Family" plan, wherein the children are divided into groups of thirty-five, and lodged in cottages under the care of a "mother" also the industrial and farm are among the prominent features introduced by him.
With these ideas formulated he, with George Ebright traveled over the state of Ohio to find a suitable site, and while pausing for a brief rest at Xenia, they walked out of town and came to a beautiful maple grove, which was ultimately chosen. A tract of 100 acres was secured for the sum of $10,000, the major portion of which was given by the people of Xenia. The remainder of the money for the site, the cost of the buildings and the support of 100 orphans during the two years the home was in building, was a burden assumed by the chaplain.
He was one of the original board of trustees and to the day of his death took personal interest in the boys and girls at the Home, and was greatly beloved by them. He corresponded personally with several hundred young people, and wherever he went the boys and girls were ever welcome to come to him at all times. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than to be greeted by the military salute and the formula "Hello Chaplain, I'm from Xenia," a phrase he had fixed as the "password" by which he should know his "boys and girls".
Chaplain Collier is survived by one daughter, Mrs. L. K. Warner, and three sons, Durban Collier, of Durant, Iowa; Prof. George F. Collier, of Baldwin University, Berea, and Rev. Edwin S. Collier, of Cleveland. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 2 p. m.
He had often expressed the desire to rest "at last among his children, beneath the Stars and Stripes and the maple trees at Xenias," and interment will doubtless be made in accordance with his wishes

[NOTE: In 1978, the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home became known as the Ohio Veterans' Children's Home. In 1997, the Ohio Veterans' Children's Home ceased operation. More than 13,500 children had been cared for and educated.]

He entered the ministry of the Methodist Church in 1850 at the age of 25. His first churches were in the North Ohio Conference district at Milan, Elmore, Fostoria and Kenton from 1850 to1854.

After the Civil War, land in eastern Iowa was opened for homesteading and each soldier who fought in the civil war was eligible to receive forty acres. Chaplain Collier accepted his forty acres and purchased three adjacent forty acre tracts from other soldiers who did not want to homestead which increased his farm to160 acres. He lived in Iowa for a year before returning to Ohio. His son, Durbin Collier, ran the farm which is still in operation by his descendants.

Logan, Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who served in the Civil War.

Death Notes: Obituary: Arizona Republican Newspaper: MRS. MARY NORTON September 28, 1909 Mrs. Mary Norton, mother of Dr. J.C. Norton, died yesterday morning at Wilton Junction, Iowa. That was the intelligence brought by a telegram to the family in Phoenix yesterday and though it was not entirely unexpected it was something of a shock. Friends had known for several days that she was very ill and last Sunday Dr. Norton was summoned to her bedside, leaving on the next train Sunday evening. The absence of discouraging news since then had led the friends of the sick woman to hope that she was improving and would again be restored to at least her usual health.

Dr. Norton is now enroute to Wilton Junction and will, of course, be there to attend the funeral, returning as soon thereafter as circumstances will permit. Mrs. Norton was the widow of C.W. Norton who died here two years ago at the home of their son, having spent several winters in Phoenix.

Mary married Charles William NORTON,²⁷⁰ ^,271 son of Birdsey Baldwin NORTON and Emily Miranda WARD, on 30 Jul 1859 in Medina County, Ohio ¹⁶ ^,450 ^,451.^,452 Charles was born on 9 Sep 1836 in Westfield, Medina, Ohio,^{²⁷¹^,421^,452} died on 14 Jan 1908 in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona^{²⁷¹^,272^,453} at age 71, and was buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilton, Muscatine, Iowa.^²⁷²

General Notes: Charles W. Norton was descended from one of three brothers who emigrated from Scotland to the American Colonies in the 1600s. His father Birdsey B. Norton was born in Connecticut, in 1807. His grandfather, Capt. Miles Norton, was an officer in the Revolutionary War, and removed to Ohio, settling on the Western Reserve when Birdsey was about fourteen years of age.

He was born on the "old Homestead" and spent two years in the Baldwin University and graduated from Folsom's Commercial College, Cleveland, Ohio. He gave up the idea of graduating from the university and went to work in a store owned by his uncle, Samuel Erastus Norton, in Phelps, Ontario County, New York. Two years in the store affected his health so he came west in 1863, having secured a land grant of a revolutionary soldier and located 120 acres of land in Crawford County, Iowa. He sold his land for $1,000 and with his other savings bought 260 acres of land in Center Grove, Muscatine County, Iowa, which subsequently grew to be 800 acres. He immediately went into the stock business, starting with sheep and later with a shorthorn breed of cattle. He was known to have one of finest herds of "Scotch Shorthorns", some of them imported from Scotland. One cow, Golden Drop IV., was imported at a cost of $1,900, and her calves sold for $400 to $500 each. He visited England in 1888 and purchased several English shire horses and Shropshire sheep. He was a successful breeder wining many prizes at state fairs and other exhibitions. He has had many successful sales on his home farm of horses and cattle bringing very high prices. He was president of the Iowa Fine Stock Breeders' Association, and for many years, was Secretary of the Iowa Shorthorn Breeders' Association

Charles W. Norton was prominent in organizing mutual insurance associations for the benefit of farmers and home owners. He was secretary for two years and president for four years of the advisory board which in 1889 had130 farmers' mutual insurance associations under its advisement, with headquarters at Des Moines. In March, 1888, he purchased a home in Wilton. He was active in his local community, elected councilman, Mayor of Wilton in 1889 and officer of the Wilton Fair Association and Old Settlers' Association. In politics he is a Republican, and cast his first Presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1860. He and his wife were members of the Congregational Church. The Norton Normal, a scientific academy at Wilton under the auspices of the Congregational Church, was named in honor of Mr. Norton, who was one of its founders.

He married 30 Jul 1859, Mary A. Collier, a native of Westfield and daughter of George and Hettie (Steele) Collier. They had five children, one of whom died in infancy.

111. John Caldwell COLT ²⁷⁹ ^,281 (Sarah CALDWELL⁷², Margaret COLLIER⁵⁸, Hezekiah Jr. (Capt.)⁴¹, Hezekiah (Capt.)¹⁶, Joseph Jr.², Joseph¹) was born on 11 Mar 1810 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut and died on 18 Nov 1842 in New York, New York at age 32.

Death Notes: He died in the cell at The Tombs (city prison), the day he was to hanged for the murder of Mr. Adams, but the gallows were sparred by his suicide shortly before the appointed time.

General Notes: Shortly after his mother's death, John was sent off from the family home in 1822 -1823 to an uncle on a farm in Burlington, Vermont, to learn farming. He did not get along well with his step mother and in 1824 she rejects his attending military school and instead was placed with a manufacturing company in Connecticut as an assistant bookkeeper. He ran away to New York in 1825 but came back and his father allowed him to attend an academy near Hartford where he studied the classics. He goes to Baltimore in 1827 where he found employment as a math teacher at a ladies seminary. He also became an assistant in a high school. In 1828 he was supervisory engineer on a canal building project in Pennsylvania. In 1829 he went to Massachusetts where he placed himself under the tutelage of President Fish, late of Wesleyan College. A short time later in despair of his sister's suicide, he joins the Navy (Marines) to go on a Mediterranean cruise of the Frigate Constitution. He became sick however, missed the cruise, worked as a Clerk in Norfolk and was released from service. He spent a year in 1830 as a law clerk for his cousin, Dudley Selden (who later was chief lawyer in his murder trial). In1830-31 he spends a year at Vermont University, Burlington, as a special student with President Marsh and becomes a successful debater. During this time he develops symptoms of tuberculosis (bleeding from the lungs). In 1831-1832 he was partner in a trading company on the Great Lakes which helped him restore his health. He purchased a farm in Michigan but bleeding of the lungs returns forcing him to leave. In 1832 he meets up with his brother Samuel in Cincinnati where he became the center of a bohemia circle. He again regains his strength and travels, learned chemistry and gave lectures on it in New Orleans, earned some money and in 1834 began to lecture on bookkeeping. In 1838 he completed his text book, " The science of Double Entry Bookkeeping ........ which included public addresses he had given on the subject. The book was initially published in Cincinnati. The book was well received and he opens a bookstore in Cincinnati and New York City (1839) and Philadelphia (1840). In 1841 he gave an elaborate lecture on bookkeeping in Boston which was warmly praised in the local newspapers. He claimed that his book had been adopted by more than 260 schools in the U.S.

John arranged production of his book with local printers, one of which was a Samuel Adams of New York City with whom he had a financial dispute involving $121 and ownership of the plates. On 17 Sep 1841 they had an argument in John's New York office, a violent struggle occurred with Adams being killed with ax/hammer blows to the head. John claimed self defense but he had attempted to conceal the crime by placing Adam's body in a wooden crate. A cartman carried the box to the docks to be shipped to New Orleans but a heat waved and delay in the ship's departure was his undoing. The stench from the box was so strong that the body was discovered. On 23 Sep 1842 the police accompanied by the mayor of New York, arrested him and on 29 September he was arraigned on the charge of murder.

His brother, Sam, went to his defense, engaging cousin Dudley Seldon and Robert Emmet as attorneys and scrounging about for funds. The trial began November 1 and was the newspaper sensation of the year, for it had all the elements of melodrama: a crime of passion, a voluble defendant with friends of influence and means, an aroused populace, a lovely black-eyed blonde with whom he had fathered a child, and a bizarre climax . The circumstances of his arraignment and trial were unfortunate, no witnesses appeared on his behave, no one saw the murder nor was any evidence given to its premeditation. He claimed self defense but the fact he attempted concealment of the body probably sealed his fate. He was convicted and a death warrant was received by Sherriff Hart of New York on November 9 from Governor Steward with execution by hanging to be carried out November 18, 1842.

The following is transcription of an article that appeared in The New England Times, Hartford, November 26, 1842; "Marriage and suicide of John C. Colt - Burning of the City Prison!! - Immense excitement in New York!!", a sensational and almost unbelievable story of the last day in the life of John Caldwell Colt:

The most awful and thrilling tragedy ever placed on record was enacted at the City Prison, New York on Friday last (18 Nov1842). The events which then and there took place, strike upon human belief with the most awful conviction of there singularity and horror.
We will not delay the patience of our readers by offering any comments, here, but proceed at once to present a detail of the events as furnished by the papers of New York and which relate to the marriage and death of John C, Colt, the burning of the City Prison in which he has been confined, &c.

PREPARTATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION
The preparations for the execution of John C. Colt were al made at an early hour this morning.
The gallows was taken into the prison yard last evening and will be erected early this morning in the rear avenue, and immediately opposite the window of the cell in which he was confined. It is the same as which Robinson was hung for the murder of Suydam. It bears twelve strakes of the hatchet, each of which sent a human soul to the bar of God.
He made a request yesterday that the execution might be postponed until the last hour of the day, as Judge Kent had not specified any precise hours between which it should be carried into effect. Should the Sheriff comply with the request, he will not be executed until four o'clock in the afternoon.
The messenger sent to Albany returned this morning, with the information that the Chancellor had temporarily refused to grant a writ of Error on the second application of the counsel of Colt. Senator Verplanck has also replied to a letter of Colt's counsel, in which he agrees with the position taken by Benj. F. Butler, Esq., counsel for the Sheriff, who backed the last application to the Chancellor, for the purpose of having the question of Alderman sitting as Judges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, constitutional decided.
Colt was engaged in writing nearly all night, preparing, as we understand, a full confession of all appertaining to the murder of Adams. He was under the charge of Deputy Sheriffs Vultee and Green during the night. And upon being asked during the evening if he wanted any thing, he desired a cup of coffee, and then told the Deputy that he wished to see all the keepers of the prison 12 and 1 o'clock this day, when he would bid them adieu forever. He also stated that the Sheriff had complied with his request, and had postponed the hour of his execution until the last of the day, as published in the Herald this morning. It will not take place before 4 o'clock, therefore, which will be too late for our second edition.
Colt's brother was at the prison door as soon as it was opened in the morning, and remained with him about a quarter of an hour.
He afterwards dressed himself, and was shaved by Bill Dolsens, of Centre street commonly known as Deaf Bill.
At early dawn, persons began to assemble around the City Prison, and at about 8 o'clock, the avenues and entrances began to be blocked up with anxious enquirers, who were asking, "Will he be hung?" "Can't you let us in?" &c. The gates of the entrance to the prison were closed about 8 o'clock, and officers stationed under the charge of A. M. C. Smith, to prevent the ingress of any, except those who had tickets for admission.
The position of the gallows was in the rear court yard of the prison, and the noise of the workmen in its erection could be distinctly heard through the massive walls of the prison.
The gallows was erected early in the morning. It consisted merely of two upright posts, and one transversely placed. Through the centre of the transverse piece, over a puiley wheel, the rope was passed, and to the opposite end, weights of about 230 pounds were sustained by additional blocks and tackles. It was placed in the centre of the yard, and immediately opposite the rear window of the cell in which Colt was confined.
At nine o'clock the outer door of his cell was opened, and the usual breakfast of the prisoners served up in the different cells of the prisoners. The sliding of locks, bolts and bars, and the chit chat and excitement among the inmates of the prison, as well as the spectators that had been admitted, all tended to add to the peculiarity of the scene within the walls of the tombs, that must be ever remembered by all who were present. Nothing was talked of, hinted at, or thought about, but the execution, which to the ears of Colt, if he could catch the sound, must have been nught but agreeable.
The excitement about the prison was intense at 11 o'clock and the doors of the police office were closed in order to prevent the intrusion of the crowd. Franklin street was filled with the multitude, as well as the vestibule of the city prison, on Centre street, and the street in front.

MARRIAGE OF COLT AND MISS HENSHAW
Dr Anthon visited the cell o Colt at about 11 o'clock, in company with Colt's brother, for the purpose of making preparation for his marriage with Caroline Henshaw.
At about halfpast 11 o'clock, Messrs Graham and Emmett, his counsel, visited his cell, and remained about half an hour. A little before 12 o'clock, Caroline Henshaw made her appearance, in company with the brother of Colt and John Howard Payne, who entered the cell with her. They were then married by the Rev Dr. Anthon, in presence of David Graham, Robert Emmett, Justice Merritt, the sheriff, John Howard Payne, and his brother. She was dressed with a straw bonnet, green shawl, a claret colored cloak trimmed with red coral, and a muff. Her appearance denoted much anxiety, and she was much thinner than when a witness on the trail.
After their marriage, Dr. Anthon remained in the cell with them a few minutes, and then left them alone, she remained for nearly an hour.
There was considerable excitement among the prisoners in the various cells, and Sears, who is confined for the murder of McDonough, was exceedingly inquisitive as to the preparations for the execution. It may be his turn next. The prisoners in the upper cells, the windows of which overlook the rear courtyard, where the gallows was erected, contrived to get a view of the scene by holding a piece of looking glass out of the small apertures in the side of the cell, the reflections of which brought in to their sight. From every cell an arm could be seen with a piece of glass in the fingers; evincing that the holder was anxiously waiting for the hour of execution, which will take place at about half past three o'clock. It is now half past 12, and, in accordance with his request, the keepers of the prison will take a last farewell.
His wife, Caroline Henshaw, now Caroline Colt, is still in the cell alone with him.
Dudley Seldon, one of his counsel, has just entered the prison.
Colt has been engaged for the past two days in writing a reply to the letter of Gov. Seward,
It is now one o'clock and Colt has just ordered a quart of hot coffee, which had been brought in and himself and wife are drinking it.

FINAL PARTING OF THE BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM
At this period of the eventful day, the scene was exciting and thrilling in the extreme. Within that narrow cell were the husband and wife, but just married, yet bidding each other farewell for the last time on earth, with the awful certainty that one would be a lifeless corpse, and the other a widow before the setting sun that was then throwing rays into the otherwise cheerless place. At the door stood Valtee, the Deputy Sheriff, hand on the sliding bolt of the cell door, and the other holding the padlock and key. On the corridor, connected within his cell was the Sheriff pacing up and down on one side with the deputy affected with the explanation of the shocking ceremony he was about to perform. Pacing up and down on the other side of the corridor might be seen a small mad man with a highly intellectual countenance, the natural brilliance of which was overshadowed by deep solemnity, his hands behind him, and his whole inantal energies evidently absorbed in profound reflection on the things of another world, this was Dr. Anthon, the spiritual advisor of the prisoner. Close by the little bridge which united the two corridors, stood two friends of the prisoner in conversation on the unfortunate career - these were John Howard Payne and Lewis Gaylord Clarke. In the corridor below, were about thirty persons, principally those connected in some way or other with the administration of justice; and on the faces of the whole there was a most extraordinary aspect of solemnity, altogether different from what has usually been seen in that building, even just previous to an execution. It appeared as if a terrible event was about to happen that they could not avert, and that would plunge them all in profound regret. At last, about one o'clock, Colt's brother, Samuel, again arrived, and entered his cell; he was still in conversation with his wife, who was sitting on the foot of his bed, convulsed with tears. At Colt's request, John Howard Payne and Lewis Gaylord Clark then went into his cell to take their leave of him. Colt appeared exceedingly please to see them; shook them cordially by the hand, and conversed with apparent cheerfulness with them for five minute, when they bid him farewell, both of them in tears. Colt's brother, Samuel, and his wife remained in the cell about ten minutes longer, when both left. His brother was deeply affected and looked more ghastly even than Colt himself. His wife could scarcely support herself, so violent were her feelings and acute her sufferings. She stood at the door of the cell for a minute - Colt kissed her passionately - strained her to his bosom, and watched her receding form as she passed into the corridor. Here she stood and sobbed convulsively as though her heart would break, for five minutes. At last she was led away by Colt's brother, and his friends followed. He then desired to see the Sheriff, who went into his cell. Colt then told him emphatically that he was innocent of the murder of Adams, and that he never intended to kill him; he also told him that he still had hopes that something would intervene to save him from being hung, and begged him not to execute the sentence of the law upon him. The Sheriff told him to banish all hope of that kind, for that he must die at 4 o'clock. He then requested to see the Sheriff's watch, and set his own by it to a minute. He then asked to see Mr. Anthon, and the latter went into his cell and remained in prayer with him for about ten minutes. At the close of this, Colt again sent for the Sheriff and said to him, "if there are any gentlemen present who wish to see me and take their leave of me, I shall be happy to see them".

PARTING WITH HIS FRIENDS
This was announced by the Sheriff, and all present, with one of to exceptions, passed up to his cell door, shook him by the hand, and took their leave of him. To one gentleman connected with the press he said, "I've spoken harshly of some of the press, but I do not blame you at all; it was all my own fault; there were things that ought to have been explained; I know you have a good heart and I forgive you from my soul freely; may God bless you and may you prosper."

HIS LAST MOMENTS
He then requested his keeper, Mr. Greene to let him be left alone until the last moment. This was bout 2 P. M. His cell was closed and he was left alone till 20 minutes to 1, when some friends of the Sheriff apprehending that he might attempt to commit suicide, one of the Deputy Sheriffs, Hillyer, went to his cell door and requested to wish him "good bye." Colt was then walking up and down his cell, but turned around on the door opening, smiled on Hillyer, shook him by the hand, and kissed him, as he did several of those who has just previously bid him farewell in this life. He said to Hillyer - "God bless you, and may you prosper in this life, which is soon to close on me." From this time to four o'clock, the excitement around the prison increased tremendously and the feelings of those in the prison was worked to a pitch of great intensity. Several eminent surgeons came into the prison a little before three, and the universal topic of discussion, all around, among the little knots of spectators, was whether he would commit suicide or not. Many prophesized that "by four o'clock there would be a dead man without hanging."

THE SUICIDE
No one entered his cell till precisely five minute to four o'clock, at which time Sheriff Hart and Westervelt, dressed in uniform with Dr. Anthon proceeded to the cell, on the keeper opening the cell, Dr. Anthon, who was first, drew back, threw up his eyes to Heaven, and uttering a faint ejaculation, turned pale as death and retired. "As I thought" said the keeper. "As I thought," said we, and going into the cell, there lay Colt on his back, stretched out at full length on the bed, quite dead, but not cold. A clasp knife, like a small dirk knife, with a broken handle was sticking in his heart. He had stabbed himself above the fifth rib on the left side. We felt his temples, and they were warm.
His vest was open, the blood had flowed freely, and his hands, which were placed across his belly, were very bloody; he had evidently worked and turned the knife round and round in his heart, after he had stabbed himself, until he made quite a large gash. His body was laid out quite straight on the bed, as if laid out for a funeral by others. Dr. Hosack and others sent into his cell and pronounced him dead. The coroner was ready at hand, took charge of the body and locked the cell.

BURNNG OF THE CITY PRISON
Most strange to say, just at this moment, the large cupola of the Tombs was discovered to be on fire; and burned furiously; so that, if he had not killed himself, in consequence of the execution being postponed to the last moment, it is very probable, that in the confusion arising from the fire, and the mob breaking into the Tombs, Colt would either have made his escape, or he would not have been hung.
The fire continued to burn for nearly an hour, until the whole cupola was consumed down to the roof of the main building.
--------
Our mind has been filled with horror, during the past week, in contemplating the awful murder of a beloved and highly esteemed kinsman, George W. Lore Esq., an account of which we present in another part of this paper, and the extraordinary and terrible death with all its attendant circumstances, of the son of our nearest neighbor, John C. Colt.
Scarce an hour has taken its flight into the eternal regions of the past, without awakening in our breast the vivid picture of these two most extraordinary and unparalleled events. The blood has frozen within us, and crept with horror through our veins, in contemplation of the awful tragedies - by which the lives of two young men, neither having reached the meridian of manhood, have been violently taken. With such a weight of fearful thoughts resting upon us, as are presented by these subjects, we may be excused for any want of "spicy anecdote and racy pun," discoverable in our columns.

John married Caroline HENSHAW.

The child from this marriage was:
+ 176 M    i. Samuel Caldwell COLT ⁴⁷⁷ ^,478 ^,479 was born in Dec 1841 in Pennsylvania^{⁴⁷⁷^,480} and died on 16 Jul 1915 in Hartford County, Connecticut^⁴⁸¹ at age 73.

112. Samuel COLT ²⁸⁶ ^,287 (Sarah CALDWELL⁷², Margaret COLLIER⁵⁸, Hezekiah Jr. (Capt.)⁴¹, Hezekiah (Capt.)¹⁶, Joseph Jr.², Joseph¹) was born on 19 Jul 1814 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, died on 10 Jan 1862 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut at age 47, and was buried in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.

Burial Notes: He died at the age of 47. His wife buried him on the grounds of his beloved Armsmear estate, next to his two infants. Then in 1866, Elizabeth commissioned a magnificent monument for the newly purchased Colt family burial plot in Hartford's new rural cemetery, Cedar Hill, where she, Sam, and their children are now buried.

General Notes: Samuel Colt was an American inventor and industrialist. He was the founder of Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company and is widely credited with popularizing the revolver.

He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to Christopher Colt, a farmer who had moved his family to Hartford when he changed professions and became a businessman, and Sarah Colt née Caldwell, who died before Samuel was seven years old. The Colt family included eight siblings: five boys and three girls. Two of the sisters died in childhood and the other committed suicide later in life, but Samuel's brothers were a huge part of his professional life.

Colt was indentured to a farm in Glastonbury at age 11, where he did chores and attended school. In 1829, Colt began working in his father's textile plant in Ware, Massachusetts, where he had access to tools, materials, and the factory workers' expertise. Using the ideas and technical knowledge he had acquired earlier, Samuel built a homemade galvanic cell and used it to explode a gunpowder charge in the waters of Ware Lake. In 1832, Colt's father sent him to sea to learn the seaman's trade. Colt would later say that the concept of the revolver was inspired by his observations of the ship's wheel during his first voyage. He discovered that "regardless of which way the wheel was spun, each spoke always came in direct line with a clutch that could be set to hold it... the revolver was conceived!" On this voyage, Colt made a wooden model of a revolver.

When Colt returned to the United States in 1832, he went back to work for his father, who financed the production of two pistols. The guns turned out to be of poor quality. He then made arrangements to begin building guns using proper gunsmiths from Baltimore, Maryland. In 1832, at the age of 18, Colt applied for a patent on his revolver and declared that he would "be back soon with a model".

In 1835, Samuel Colt traveled to England and was issued a patent. He then traveled to France to promote his invention. Shortly after his return to the United States, Colt applied for a patent for a "revolving gun", and he was granted the patent on 25 February 1836. Colt quickly formed a corporation of New York and New Jersey venture capitalists in April 1836. Through the political connections of the subscribers, the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company of Paterson, New Jersey, was chartered by the New Jersey legislature on March 5, 1837. Colt was given a commission for each gun sold in exchange for his share of patent rights, and stipulated the return of the rights if the company disbanded.

In late 1843, after numerous setbacks including loss of payment, the Paterson plant closed. In 1847, he received an additional ordered for 1,000 revolvers from the Texas Randers which allowed Colt to re-establish his firearm business. He hired Eli Whitney Blake, who was established in the arms business, to make his guns. The company then received an order for a thousand more; Colt took a share of the profits at $10 per pistol for both orders. He later built the Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company factory at Hartford, Connecticut. His revolving-breech pistol became so popular that the word "Colt" was sometimes used as a generic term for the revolver. The California gold rush and western expansion made the firearm business boom so much that Colt had to expand the Hartford factory repeatedly.

In his later years, Colt later purchased a large tract of land beside the Connecticut River, where he built a larger factory called the Colt Armory, a manor that he called Armsmear, and employee housing. He established a ten-hour day for employees, installed washing stations in the factory, mandated a one-hour lunch break, and built the Charter Oak Hall, a club where employees could enjoy games, newspapers, and discussion rooms. On June 5, 1856, Colt married Elizabeth Jarvis, the daughter of the Reverend William Jarvis, who lived just downriver from Hartford.

Samuel Colt died in Hartford in 1862 and was buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery. At the time of his death, Colt's estate, which he left to his wife and son, was estimated to be valued at around $15,000,000. His professional responsibilities were turned over to his brother-in-law, Richard Jarvis.

Samuel married Elizabeth Hart JARVIS,²⁸⁶ ^,482 daughter of Rev. William JARVIS and Elizabeth Miller HART, on 5 Jun 1856 in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut ²⁸⁶.^,483 Elizabeth was born in Oct 1826 in Portland, Middlesex, Connecticut,^⁴⁸⁴ died on 23 Aug 1905 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut^⁴⁸⁵ at age 78, and was buried in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.^⁴⁸⁶

General Notes: The entire estate of her deceased husband was controlled by her and son Caldwell and was valued at $15,000,000\emdash an enormous sum in those days\emdash giving Elizabeth an income of $200,000 a year for life.

She was a prominent civic leader and philanthropist known as the "first lady" of Connecticut and one of the first women patrons of American art.
Elizabeth Hart Jarvis, the first child of Elizabeth Miller Hart and the Episcopal minister William Jarvis, married the world famous arms manufacturer Samuel Colt in 1856. By this marriage, Colt gained access to the restricted social circles of nineteenth century Connecticut.
With Colt's premature death at the age of 47, Elizabeth became one of the richest women in the US, inheriting several million dollars and a controlling interest in Colt's Patent Arms Manufacturing Company stock. Elizabeth Colt used her position and wealth to play a leading role in countless Connecticut religious, social, art, and charitable organizations. She helped found and presided over the Union for Home Work, the Hartford Decorative Arts Society, the Connecticut Society of the Colonial Dames of America, the Women's Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church, and Hartford's Soldiers' Aid Society for which she staged many fund-raising theatrical performances. Elizabeth also maintained tight control over the Colt factory for most of the forty-three years she outlived her husband.
In 1865 Elizabeth Colt began work on a formal art gallery to be established on the second floor of Armsmear, the elaborate Italianate villa the couple had built on Wethersfield Avenue, south of the Atheneum. With the help of the artist Frederic Church, she began to collect paintings and sculpture and to commission landscape works by other well-known New York artists, including Thomas Cole, John Kensett, James Hamilton, William Beard, and William Bradford, as well as Charles Loring Elliott, who painted monumental portraits of Samuel Colt and of Elizabeth with her only surviving child, her son Caldwell.
By the time of her death, the Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt Collection, had grown to over 600 individual American and European objets d'art. Colt bequeathed the collection to the Wadsworth Atheneum and endowed a building for it. Today it is valued as a rare example of an intact private collection reflecting the artistic taste of the Victorian era, and Elizabeth Colt is herself remembered as an important patron of nineteenth century American art.

In 1901, after nearly 40 years at the helm of Colt's Armory, and facing a major wave of labor unrest, Elizabeth Colt, now 75 years old, sold the company, ending the Colt-family era. She died in 1905 and left the estate of Armsmear, the grounds, to the city as Colt Park, which it is today. And she left the house, Armsmear, to the Colt Trust, and it still functions today as a home for widows and other female dependents of Episcopal clergy and other qualified gentlewomen.

Noted events in her life were:
She resided at 30 Wethersfield Avenue between 1880 and 1900 at Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. ⁴⁸⁴ Also at residence were her brother Richard Jarvis (age 70), six domestics and one nurse.

Children from this marriage were:
   177 M    i. Samuel Jarvis COLT ²⁸⁷ was born on 24 Feb 1857 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, died on 24 Dec 1857 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, and was buried in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.

   178 M    ii. Caldwell Hart COLT ²⁸⁷ ^,421 was born on 24 Nov 1858 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut,^⁴²¹ died on 21 Jan 1894 in Punta Gorda, Florida^{⁴⁸⁷^,488} at age 35, and was buried in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. He never married and had no children.

Death Notes: Obituary, New York Times published Jan 23, 1894; VICTIM OF MALIGNANT TONSILITIS // Commodore Colt's Death Due Primarily to Cigarette Smoking. HARTFORD, Conn., Jan.22 - Commodore Caldwell H. Colt of this city, who died at Punta Gorda on the west coast of Florida last night from malignant tonsilitis, had an operation performed her by Dr. William D. Morgan a few days before starting out on his Winter yachting cruise in December. He had long suffered from throat Trouble, occasioned primarily by the use of cigarettes, and had been warned by physicians against continuing the smoking habit.
Commodore Colt inherited the bulk of Col. Colt's fortune, and came into possession when he attained his majority in November 1879. As he died intestate and a bachelor, the inheritance under the laws of this state will revert to his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Colt. The combined estates of herself and deceased son will make her the richest woman in Connecticut.
Commodore Colt has made it a custom to give a birthday banquet at his mother's residence in this city, and the last event of the kind occurred Nov. 24, 1893. He was then thirty-five years of age. The Commodore was educated at St. Paul's, Concord, N. H., and at the Scientific School at Yale. The body will be brought to this city for interment. It will reach here Thursday.

The burgee of the New York Yacht Club fluttered at half mast over the clubhouse on Madison Avenue yesterday, a token of respect to Mr. Colt, and the members of the club talked quietly of the good qualities of their late comrade.
No yachtsman in this county or on the other side of the water was better known, and few, could boast as many friends.
A telegram from Lieut. W. Henn told the New York Yacht Club members of Mr. Colt's death. It is posted on the bulletin board of the club, and is as follows:
PUNTA GORDA, Fla, Jan 21. - Commodore colt died her to-night of heart failure, without pain.
Mr. Colt went to Florida last November, accompanied by Lieut. Henn and A. F. Camacho. The first tarpon caught this season was landed on the Oriole yesterday at 1 o'clock. Lieut. Henn and Mr. Camacho started for this city with the dead body of their friend. They are expected to reach here to-marrow evening.
Vice Commodore Sanderson of the Larchmont Club has called a meeting of the officers and Trustees of the Larchmont Club at 3 o'clock this afternoon to the Down Town Clubs' rooms, 62 Pine Street, to take appropriate action upon the death of the Commodore.
Commodore E. D. Morgan has appointed the following delegation to represent the New-York Yacht Club at the funeral: Commodore Morgan, Col. Daniel Appleton, Ernest Staples, Augustin W. Mott, F. Brockholst Cutting, W. P. Douglas, L. Q. Jones, Howard M. Durant, E. E. Chase, F. P. Sands, George A. Cormack, Lloyd Phoenix, F. W. Vanderbilt and J. V. S. Oddie.

Obituary, The Hartford Courant published Jan 23, 1894; THE DEATH OF CALDWELL H. COLT: The sudden decease of a young man which has brought sorrow to a house so identified with life of Hartford, awakens profound sympathy in the community. Mr. Colt's love of travel and adventure has taken him much away from his native city. He was a keen sportsman, and yachting became a passion with him. He entered into it in a very manly fashion, navigating and commanding his own yacht, and exhibited in this something of the skill and daring that made his father distinguished in invention and business enterprise. In consequence of his absence he was personally less well known here than his large business interest and his position would have led him to be. But he was the heir of a great enterprise and a name of world-wide distinction. To no one man in this generation has the city of Hartford owned more in the way of making it known and in increasing its solid business prosperity than to Colonel Colt. His were the indomitable energy, the courage and the sagacity that build towns and conceive and carry forward great enterprises. And there is no doubt that in his death the city lost one of the great influences of its growth and prosperity. It has been popularly said of him that if he had lived he would have made Hartford a great city. This at any rate expresses the feeling that it is energetic, ambitious and patriotic citizens who made it a town. But this is far from being the only reason why the sympathy of the community is called out by this untimely death. He was the only son of a mother upon whom fell most of the burden of her husband's great plans and enterprise, and whose nobility of life and devotion to the highest interest of the city have endeared her to all who love it, and are proud of its social life and its good name and integrity. It is not the place here to dwell upon this. But so much must be said, for though words of ordinary sympathy are idle in view of such bereavement. It certainly is not impertinent to express the general and profound sorrow that is felt for her in this calamity.

General Notes: At his father's funeral, age three, Caldwell was the only one of five children to survive infancy. There was a brief sort of flurry of optimism that young Caldwell was going to take the reins of his father's business empire but it never happened. Caldwell was more interested in hunting, fishing, sailing his yacht, almost the antithesis in some ways of his father. He was eventually lionized in the American yachting community as one of the great yachtsmen of his era.

Death Notes: Death Notice, New York Times published 29 Oct 1878; Hartford, Oct 28.- Judge James B. Colt, formerly of St. Louis, Mo., a brother of the late Samuel Colt, Inventor of Colt's revolver, died in Wethersfield, this morning, at the age of 62.

Obituary, Hartford Courant published 29 Oct 1878; Death of Judge James B. Colt: Judge James B. Colt, of this city, died yesterday morning in Wethersfield, after having been confined to the house for about two months. He was sixty-two year old and for years he was well known in Hartford. He lived for some years in St. Louis, and it was there that he acquired his title of judge. He was a brother of the late Colonel Samuel Colt. Judge Colt's family are now all in California, and it was not known last night where to send them notices of his death, but they will probably read it in today's San Francisco papers.

General Notes: He traveled widely throughout the South and West. He worked for the Lamar family, one of whom was the second president of the Republic of Texas. He was admitted to the bar in CT in 1840 and, soon thereafter, in St. Louis, MO.
When the late Colonel Samuel Colt died in 1862, he left an estate valued at between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. In his will he gave certain legacies of stock of Colt's Patent Fire-arms Manufacturing Company to various people and provided that the remainder of stock owned by him not so bequeathed should be divided "among the several persons and parties to whom he had given legacies." Among these legacies was 500 shares to his brother James for life, with the remainder to his children. By codicil however before he died, Samuel had revoked this legacy and by a second codicil revoked the bequest of the use of 500 shares of stock to the children of James.

The revocation was brought about by a personal quarrel between the brothers and there is not doubt that the Colonel intended to cut him off without a penny. James had been described as; "a hot-tempered ne'er-do-well and petty politician, had proved a miserable failure as Colt's manager in the short-lived London plant and later as an official of the Armory."

In 1864 James sued, won and the executors of the estate settled for about $100,000 and subsequently got about the same amount in dividends up to the time of his death. He was entirely without money when he brought his suit and his lawyers took the case on commission. Meanwhile he had barrowed money for living expenses. So many were his obligations that his first $100,000 was nearly all absorbed by the time he got it.

Noted events in his life were:

Death Notes: Obituary Hartford Courant, published 30 May 1912: Mrs. Emily Merrill Johnson Holcombe, widow of James H Holcombe, died yesterday in this city. She had been slightly ailing for a day or two but nothing serious was apprehended until a few hours before her death, when her heart suddenly became inactive. She was born in this city, November 26, 1824, daughter of the late General Nathan Johnson and Sarah Butler Merrill - one of a large family of children born in the old Merrill homestead on Main street near Grove. Her maternal grandfather, who lived in the same house, was Dr. Hezekiah Merrill, city treasurer when Hartford was incorporated as a city in 1784, and holding the position until his death in 1801. He was also the first cashier of the old Hartford Bank, the first bank established in Hartford in 1782, his brother-in-law, Major John Caldwell, being the first president. His wife was Catherine Collier, granddaughter of both Joseph Wadsworth, who hid the famous charter in the oak, and Lieutenant Colonel John Talcott, who is said to have been Wadsworth's companion in the daring act.
Mrs. Holcombe's father, General Nathan Johnson, was an officer in the War of 1812, and later occupied a leading position at the bar in Hartford, and was conspicuous figure in the military operations of the city for many years, commanding the troop which gave a welcome to Lafayette. He was a graduate of Yale College in 1802, was a state senator and was universally respected and beloved. He married Sarah Merrill and this was the first marriage preformed by Rev. Dr. Hawes. Mrs. Holcombe was one of the oldest members of the Center Church, having joined that organization in 1842, and in this church she had an unbroken line of ancestors dating back to the founding in 1632. She married a well known lawyer, the late James H. Holcombe, in 1844, going a bride to his residence on Lord's Hill, still occupied by their son, John M. Holcombe. In 1873 Mr. and Mrs. Holcombe and their eldest son, James Winthrop Holcombe, went abroad, where Mr. Holcombe died in 1889 and her son, James Winthrop, in 1909, at which time Mrs. Holcombe returned to Hartford.
She was a woman of marked literary ability, her letters from Europe being of such a charming character that a publication of them was planned some years ago, but she had a very retiring disposition and always avoided publicity.

General Notes: Memorial, Jan 1896 by THOMAS E. ROCHESTER, M. D.: Dr. Stephen Edward Fuller was born in East Haddam, Connecticut, on the eighth day of December, 1836.
He came of a race of physicians; the almost unbroken line extending back to the one who attended at the birth of the first child born of white parents in this country.
His father, Dr. Stephen Hopkins Fuller, was a successful practitioner of medicine in Portland and in Hartford, Conn., at different periods of his life, and acted as an assistant surgeon during the War of 1812.
His mother was a Seymour, who traced her ancestry back to Lady Jane Seymour.
The original Seymour of this family in this country was a large land owner in what is now the city of Hartford, Conn.
He was a Tory at the outbreak of the Revolution as was also his younger son, Henry.
The elder son, Thomas Yonge Seymour, was at this time a student at Yale College, which he left at the first news of fighting. Returning to his home in Hartford, he found himself in opposition to his family. Notwithstanding this, he raised a company of dragoons, of which he was made captain, and did good service during the war. Among other duties he was detailed to escort Gen. Burgoyne, after his surrender, from Saratoga to Boston.
He is a conspicuous figure in the large painting of the Surrender of Burgoyne, which hangs in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington, being the only officer mounted.
Returning at the close of the war to his home he became afterwards the first Mayor of Hartford. It was more especially to the services of this man, his grandfather that Dr. Fuller referred with pride. He was too thoroughly American to go beyond the gallant soldier of the Revolution.
The crest which he wore, cut into a ring, was one worn and used by the Seymours of this family.
A cousin of Dr. Fuller's was Thomas H. Seymour, who was major, and subsequently colonel during the war with Mexico. His promotion from the lower to the higher rank was due to gallantry at the storming of the castle of Chapultepec, near the City of Mexico.
This gentleman was elected Governor of Connecticut for six consecutive terms, and afterwards held the appointment of Minister to Russia.
He was a thorough-going Democrat, and a leading candidate for the Vice Presidential nomination in the convention which nominated candidates in opposition to Abraham Lincoln, when the latter was a candidate the second time.
From early childhood Dr. Fuller was bent upon becoming a physician, and at the age of twelve years he commenced the study of Latin and Greek, as a foundation for his medical studies, walking three miles to and from his recitations, three times a week, his instructor being the Rev. Dr. Emory of Trinity Church, Portland. .
At fifteen he entered Trinity College, in Hartford, in advance of his class in Latin and Greek.
In 1854 he began the study of medicine with Dr. Preston of Hartford, and spent one term in the medical department of Yale College.
He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, from which he was graduated in the class of 1858.
From that time until he entered the army he practiced his profession in Hartford, being at one time assistant to Dr. Hastings of that city.
On June 11, 1862, he entered the army as a Contract Surgeon and served as such until June 4, 1863.
His influential friends and relatives being politically opposed to him in their views would be of no service to him, and so, without influence or assistance of any kind, he applied for service. He was assigned to duty in the West, and his first active service was at the battle of Pittsburgh Landing.
Arriving with the reinforcements under Gen. Buell on the second day of the battle, in the early morning, he looked for the first time upon a scene too horrible for description, and which, to a young man, was almost overpowering. However, that was his place, his duty was to care for the wounded, and he was soon absorbed in his work.
Soon after Dr. Fuller applied for examination to the Army Medical Examining Board in Washington, and passed among the first of the number examined.
He was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of U. S. Volunteers June 4, 1863, and in consequence of the excellence of his record before the examiners, was, without further examination, commissioned full Surgeon of Volunteers some ten days later; this recognition being granted to but two others who underwent the same examination. He assisted in organizing what was afterwards known as the Wolf Street Hospital in Alexandria, Va., of which he was placed in charge.
The following is an extract from the record of Dr. Fuller's military services in the Surgeon-General's office in Washington, D.C.: "Dr. Fuller was in charge of No. 21, General Hospital, Nashville, Tenn., from November to December, 1863. Capacity of hospital during this period, 210 beds; in charge of No. 14, General Hospital, from June 13, 1864, to May, 1865. Capacity of Hospital in June, 1864, 400 beds ; from July to October, 1864, 750 beds; November, 1864, to May, 1865, 950 beds; and in charge of Wilson General Hospital, same place, from May, 1865, to October, 1865. Capacity of hospital during this period 610 beds. At one time there were also 800 smallpox patients under his charge.
While serving in these various hospitals the Doctor received many tokens of love and esteem from the soldiers under his charge, among which were a valuable case of surgical instruments and a handsome gold watch.
In October, 1865, Surgeon Fuller was honorably mustered out of the service, and for "faithful and meritorious service" was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel by President Johnson.
Soon afterward he entered upon the practice of his profession in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., where he remained until his death.
During the interval between his graduation in 1858 and his entrance into the army, he was married to Miss Julia Comstock, of Hartford, Conn., youngest daughter of Doctor John. L. Comstock, a writer well known at that day upon chemistry, botany and kindred subjects.
Resulting from that marriage two sons survive him, Dr. Philip Hastings Fuller, of Newfane, Vermont, and William Chenevard Fuller, of Providence, R. I.
In 1872 he married Jeanie M. Keyes, of Vermont, who, with a son, Seymour Keyes, and a daughter, Jeanie Marguerite, resides in Brooklyn.
Dr. Fuller's nature was intense. Strong in his likes and dislikes, and intolerant of pretenders and hypocrites, he was at the same time sympathetic and generous, giving much of his time and strength to the relief of the poor without thought of compensation.
His patients speak of his tenderness and quick sympathy for them in their distress.
His leading characteristics were intensity of thought and purpose, quickness of perception, precision, care of detail in business, and system in whatever he did.
He possessed an indomitable will and great energy, which manifested itself in a marked degree even when he was weakened by disease.
He was a modest man, and though often urged to participate in some public discussion, or to write, he was very loth to do either, often saying he would leave those things to the boys who liked to hear their own voices or see their names in print. Such articles as appeared from time to time of his writing were, however, always well received.
As a surgeon and also as a diagnostician he was very skilful.
Although a member of several societies, he was rarely away, except on business, from his home, for which he had a great fondness.
In his profession he was always handicapped by sick headaches, which were inherited, and from which he suffered all his life.
He also suffered from diseases contracted during his service in the army, and which, being aggravated by la grippe, from which he suffered severely twice, resulted in his death.
Although suffering from weakness and nervousness, caused by the disease which caused his death, he felt unwilling to relinquish his practice, often saying that he wished to die when he could no longer attend his patients. In this his wish was realized, as he saw patients to within four days of his death.
So opposed was he to being an invalid that he was in bed only one day before the end came.
On the morning of May 2d, 1895, at half-past eleven o'clock, he passed peacefully away, surrounded by the members of his family.
He leaves a large circle of sorrowing friends from among his patients, who were devotedly attached to him, and from among many who knew him as a friend only.
He belonged to the following organizations: Military Order of the Loyal Legion, New York Commandery; U. S. Grant Post, No. 327, G. A. R.; Sons of the American Revolution; New York Academy of Medicine; Practitioner's Club of Brooklyn; Kings County Medical .Society; Kings County Medical Association, and the Masonic Order. At different times he had been connected with the Brooklyn, Oxford, and Marine and Field Clubs, but for a year or two before his death ill health had prevented his taking any active interest in them.

Noted events in his life were:
He had a residence in 1860 at Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. ⁵⁷⁶ Also at residence were his wife Julia (age 25), mother-in-law Mary E Comstock (age 60), John P Comstock (age 15, relationship not known) and a domestic.
