Death Notes: Obituary - New York Times, 6 Nov 1891: DEATH OF JOHN F. MINES // IT WAS HE WHO YEARS AGO WROTE THE "FELIX OLDBOY" SKETCHES. //John F. Mines, for many years a well-known newspaper writer in this city, died yesterday at the Charity Hospital. He had been arrested on Tuesday night for intoxication, and sent to the workhouse. It was soon discovered that he was suffering from alcoholism, and he was removed to the hospital, where he died. Mr. Mines was a bright and successful writer, but the desire for drink caused his downfall.
He was born in Troy fifty-five years ago. His first thought was to study for the ministry, and after graduating from Trinity College, Hartford, he entered the General Theological Seminary of this city. He was ordained a minister of the Episcopal Church, but did not take a charge, preferring to enter the journalistic field. At first he was connected with papers in Albany and Troy. He afterward came to New York and occupied editorial positions on the Evening Post, World, and other papers, and more recently he worked for the Sunday Mercury.
Among his earlier writing were a series of sketches signed with the name, "Felix Oldboy." Some of these are now on the presses of Harper Brothers for publication. He contributed to Harper's periodicals and the North American Review.
Mr. Mines was one the patients at Dr. Kelley's Institute for the Cure of Drunkenness, and said that he had been much benefited by the treatment. His friends believed that a cure had been accomplished. After his return from Dr. Keely's he wrote several articles in reference to the work of the physician and his methods.
Mr. Mines will probably be buried in the Press Club plot in the Cypress Hill Cemetery.

Death Notes: Obituary - Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, New York, 1 Sep 1885: AN OLD MERCHANT GONE. // Death of Timothy Chapman - The Daily Mortuary Record. // Yesterday afternoon at the city hospital, occurred the death of Timothy Chapman, a man whose name forty years ago was familiar to every Rochester business firm. Mr. Chapman had been at the hospital for several months past, although old age and a gradual wearing away of his physical powers were the principal causes of death. The deceased was born in the town of East Haddam, Connecticut, but with his father's family moved to this state when a boy. For some time he was engaged in the pursuit of farming in the town of Ogden, finally coming to this city and entering the employ of a dry goods house. He seemed especially adapted for this kind of business, and in 1833 the firm of Ackley & Chapman was established at the corner of St. Paul and Main streets. Shortly after, the firm dissolved partnership and Mr. Chapman entered into business for himself, opening a store in what was known as the "Gould Block," on State street. The business rapidly increased, and in a few years Mr. Chapman was at the head of one of the largest dry goods concerns in Western New York, and "Chapman's" became a household word for every resident in the city. His wealth was estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000, and he was considered one of the city's rich men. The business continued until 1853, when financial reverses compelled Mr. Chapman to make an assignment, and his career as a merchant was terminated. He afterwards entered the employ of James H. Nellis and for some years followed the occupation of a broker, but for the past fifteen years he had not been in any regular business. At the time of his death, Mr. Chapman was undoubtedly the oldest dry goods merchant in the city. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. George W. Sill, of this city. Personally the deceased was well-known for his social qualities, and a man who had a large circle of acquaintances, most of whom are now dead. The few who are living will recall him as one who had many excellent qualities, and the news of his death will be received with regret. The funeral will take place at the hospital, at 10:30 o'clock to-morrow morning.

Captain Brooks had been perceptibly failing for some time and death came at the end of ebbing vitality. He leaves a son, Lewis H. Brooks, of Perinton, and two daughters, Mrs. Emma Saleno and Mrs. James D. Harris, of Fairport.
The body of Captain Brooks will lie in state at is home, in Fairport, from 10 to 12 o'clock on Thursday morning and the funeral service, which will be private, will be held at the house at 2 o'clock, Thursday afternoon. Interment will be in Oakwood Cemetery, Penfield.
Captain Brooks, who was 101 years old July 5^th, had been for more than seventy years a resident of Monroe county. Born in New Milford, Conn., July 5^th, 1806, Captain Brooks was reared in the Land of Steady Habits. The son of one of Washington's captains, the grandson of the sturdy ministers that made Connecticut famous throughout the colonies, it was but natural the Captain Brooks should have as a part of his nature, honesty, probity, uprightness, integrity, force and an indomitable will. His father was Samuel Lewis Brooks, who commanded a battery of artillery under Washington and was with LaFayette at Yorktown. Rev. Thomas Brooks, the paternal grandfather of Captain Garry Brooks, was born in England and became a Presbyterian. He was given is choice to renounce his faith and remain in England, or hold to what he believed and go. He would not yield, and when he was 29 years old he became the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in what is now Brookfield, Conn., and continued in that capacity until his death fifty years later.
Learned Tailor's Trade // Rev. Thomas Brooks married Hannah Lewis shortly after his arrival in America, and to them was born, in 1750, Samuel Lewis Brooks. When the latter was in his fifty-sixth year Captain Garry Brooks was born. The son was reared by his parents, and attended the public schools in New Milford. While still a lad he was apprenticed to a tailor in Bridgeport, but before the youngster had learned his trade his parents moved to Western New York and settled in what is now Penfield, this county.
As soon as the boy had learned the trade of cutter he followed his parents, by way of the Erie canal, and landed in 1824 at Fullamtown, a port not known to the present generations, but which was situated between Fairport and this city. Shortly afterward he went to live with his parents on the farm in Penfield, where he remained until he retired from active life in 1868 and removed to Fairport. Captain Brooks gained his military title in the New York State Militia, as it was called in those days, and in 1835 he won a silver cup and pitcher for having the best drilled company in Western New York.
Captain Brooks married Miss Emma Chauncey, a direct descendant of Charles Chauncey, one of the celebrated presidents of Harvard. To Captain and Mrs. Brooks four children were born, of whom three are now living. Mrs. Brooks died October 26, 1889.
Early Railroad Days // Captain Brooks had two brothers, Rev. Lemuel Brooks of Churchville, and Lewis Brooks of this city. Captain Brooks and his brothers were always interested in the welfare of Rochester and Monroe county. When construction of what is now the New York Central was proposed, the brothers were instrumental in securing much of the original right of way through the county, and for many years, Lewis Brooks was a director of the New York Central Company. They were also interested in the development of the educational resources of the city, and at the time the Swift Observatory was planned, Captain Brooks and Lewis Brooks jointly contributed $8,000 for the purchase of the object-glass of the telescope that was afterward mounted in the observatory.
Captain Brooks cast his first presidential vote in 1832, and since the formation of the Republican party in 1854 had been one of the staunch supporters, but was never an aspirant for public office. On June 15, 1907, New Milford celebrated it anniversary and an urgent invitation was extended to Captain Brooks to be present. He wanted to accept, but it was deemed wiser for him not to go. His son, Lewis S. Brooks, was present as the representative of the family, and many congratulations were sent by him to Captain Brooks.

Death Notes: Obituary - Springfield Republican, Springfield, Massachusetts, 9 Apr 1902: DEATH OF MATTHEW SMITH // Formerly a Prominent Citizen of Middlefield - One of the Founders of the Agricultural Society // Matthew Smith died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. E. Stanton, wife of Representative Stanton of Huntington. The immediate cause of death was from the effects of an apoplectic shock Thursday last, from which he never rallied. No doubt the recent death of his daughter, Mrs. F. E. Warren, hastened his end. He was born in Middlefield, September 13, 1814, and resided there until the death of his wife, Maria Root, in February, 1883, which by singular coincidence occurred at the same place, the home of Mrs. Stanton. He had made his home since with his daughter, Mrs. Warren, wife of Senator Warren of Cheyenne, Wy., and Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Stanton at Huntington. Besides Mrs. Stanton, he leaves one son, Charles M. Smith, a business man of Cheyenne, Wy., who arrived from the West soon after his death; also a sister, Mrs. Sarah Wright of Middlefield.
Mr. Smith early identified himself with the Baptist church in Middlefield, and the relation was continued to his death. Starting out as a farmer, and teaching school in winter, he became an important factor in the community, and occupied the position of selectman, school committee, road commissioner, and in 1878 represented his district in the Legislature. He was a man of public spirit, was chiefly instrumental in the formation of the Highland agricultural society, giving the land used as their fair-ground, and was its first president, and for six years was a member of the state board of agriculture. As a breeder of Durham cattle he had a more than local reputation. Previous to the civil war he was a strong abolitionist and untiring in his efforts to forward the anti-slavery movement. The funeral will be held at the Stanton residence in Huntington tomorrow morning at 10.15. The body will be taken to Chester on the 11.30 train, thence by team to Middlefield cemetery where a sort prayer service will be held.

For the nine years following 1866, she taught school in Fair Haven, Vt., but stopped it to accept a position as assistant in a marble concern, which position she in turn relinquished to undertake the work of preparing the Mack genealogy for the printer. While doing this work she lived in Middlefield, Mass., but in 1888 she moved to Huntington, where, two years later, she married Thomas Martin. In 1890 she published the genealogy of Matthew Smith, a settler in East Haddam.

For 10 years he was employed by James Noble, a brother-in-law, and a dealer in ready-made clothing.

Mr. Bull, of this city, has started an investigation and hopes to receive some positive information within the next few days.
The deceased who had spent the greater part of this life in Howard county and who was known to a number of persons here, had gone into Mexico to a point 150 miles from the border and he was staying there because the climate was proving beneficial to his health. Following the death the body was shipped to a place near the border where it was buried and the relatives had difficulty in getting it disinterred that they might bring it back to the Indiana home for burial. The letter received states that there has been a systematic poisoning of Americans by the Mexicans. Mr. Bull, of this city, is considering making a trip to Texas and find what he can about the death and also to look after the widow of the deceased.

Death Notes: Obituary - Hartford Dailey Courant, Hartford, Connecticut, 20 Sep 1883: The Hon. William Faxon // The Hon. William Faxon died suddenly about 4 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Park Central hotel where he had resided for several years. He was at his office at the Hartford Trust company on Tuesday and retired in his usual health. About 3:30 in the morning he called his daughter, who occupied an adjoining room informing her hat he was in great pain. Miss Faxon alarmed at his symptoms sent for Dr. Curtiss, who lives next door, but before his arrival her father had expired.
Mr. Faxon was a native of West Hartford, born April 17^th, 1822, the old homestead built by his grandfather in 1777 being still standing in Elmwood. In his youth he learned the printer's trade of John L. Boswell, in the office of THE COURANT, having as a fellow apprentice, Mr. Robert Bonner. In 1853 he was admitted to the firm, which became Boswell & Faxon, and so continued until Mr. Boswell's death in 1854. Mr. Faxon then went to Amherst and published for a time the Weekly Express in that town.
In 1856 one hundred prominent republicans of Hartford subscribed $100 each and established the Evening Press, the first republican paper in the state, and Mr. Faxon and Edmund Pierce were its first managers. Mr. Pierce shortly retired and was succeeded by Joseph R. Hawley, the firm being Hawley & Faxon until 1861, when the Hon Gideon Welles, secretary of the navy, and one of the founders of the Press, persuaded Mr. Faxon to accept the position of chief clerk in the navy department. The Press was consolidated with THE COURANT in 1867, and Mr. Faxon always retained the liveliest regard and friendship of the paper and for those connected with it. Mr. Faxon continued as chief clerk under Secretary Welles, until the retirement of Assistant Secretary Fox he was appointed his successor, holding the office until the close of Andrew Johnson's administration. He was always one of Mr. Welles's most intimate and trusted assistants, his good judgment and his remarkably systematic and methodical business habits making him invaluable for mastering the manifold details of the department during the arduous days of the war. Mr. Faxon gave eight of the best years of his life to this work and no soldier in the field rendered more faithful or patriotic service to the country than he, in assisting to the utmost in the organization of the war navy and in caring for its interest. Mr. Welles, Mr. Lincoln's able secretary, was to the end of his life enthusiastic in the praise of Mr. Faxon as his trusty right-hand man in every emergency. The intimate friendship was broken only by death.
Upon leaving the department, Mr. Faxon sought needed rest and recuperation in an extended foreign tour in Europe and on the Nile. He traveled with his eyes open and with keen intelligence to profit by what he saw. His letters were full of interest and worthy of preservation. He made a second but less extended trip a few years since. In 1878 he was appointed a Bank Commissioner by Governor Hubbard, and it is only justice to say that he made this bureau a valuable and indispensable part of the state government. He brought to his work the same methodical system which had made him so useful in the navy department and the same business ability. Under his administration bank examinations became thorough and systematic, and for the first time statistical returns became valuable and instructive. In January, 1881, Mr. Faxon was appointed postmaster of Hartford, but declined the appointment before entering upon the duties of the office, in order to take the presidency of the Hartford Trust company, which position he has since filled very successfully and acceptably.
Mr. Faxon was one of the original corporators of the Phoenix fire insurance company, and has been one of the directors of the company from the first. He was for several years a director of the reconstructed Charter Oak life insurance company, but declined a reelection previous to the last annual meeting. He was a member of the St. John's Episcopal church.
Mr. Faxon was a collector of historical books and pamphlets, especially of those relating to the late war and to national politics. He had also compiled valuable scrap-books on the same subjects, and had gathered a choice collection of autographs. He was an earnest republican, but never an aspirant for office. His appointment as postmaster came without his seeking and against his inclinations. For many years, when not absent from the city, he has prepared blank tables for election returns from the state for THE COURANT of the next morning. When all was excitement over some hotly contested election, he always remained cool and self-possessed. His judgment as to the result of an election, formed after studying the scattering returns from a dozen or twenty towns, was hardly ever at fault. He was always a helpful presence in an editorial room, and his familiar form and kindly greeting will be long and sadly missed.
Mr. Faxon was twice married (to the Misses Cushing, sisters), and has been a widower for a number of years. Two children survive, a son, William B. Faxon, and a daughter, Miss Anna C. Faxon. The son completed his art studies in Paris a year ago and has a studio in New York. An adult daughter died some years since.
The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock from St. John's church.)

General Notes: Newspaper Article - THE NEW ENGLAND WEEKLY REVIEW, Hartford, Saturday November 26, 1842: 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). In 1830-31 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 Nov 1842). The events which then and there took place, strike upon human belief with the most awful conviction of their 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.

PREPARATIONS 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 anything, 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 pulley 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 center 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 minutes, 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 two 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 about 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.

BURNING 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 [2803] on 18 Nov 1842 in New York, New York.
Marriage Notes: They were married in his jail cell, The Tombs (city prison), the day he was to be hanged for the murder of Mr. Adams, but the gallows were sparred by his suicide shortly before the appointed time. His brother Samuel Colt was one of witnesses.

General Notes: She was an unschooled young woman who gave birth to a son just before the trial of John Caldwell Colt opened in January of 1842. She told the court that she had met John Colt in Philadelphia in 1840, but did not live with him until she came to New York the following January. He taught her to read and write, but eschewed marriage, he said, because of his poverty. Another version had it that Caroline was of German birth, and that it was Sam, not John, who met her first. On his trip to Europe in 1835, the story went, Sam met Caroline in Scotland and brought her back to America as his wife. According to this account, Sam was so preoccupied with his inventions and was away so much that John had, out of pity, made Caroline his common-law wife. Furthermore, because of their social differences, Sam was only too glad to be rid of a partner who might impede his career, which he always placed above personal ties.

Samuel Colt secretly arranged for Caroline and her young son to go to Germany. He told his brother James that she "speaks and understands German and can best be cared for in the German countries...[I have] made all the necessary arrangements and will somehow provide the needful." At his insistence she changed her name to Miss Julia Leicester, but the boy grew up as Samuel Caldwell Colt.
Caroline and her son remained abroad, supported by Sam. Eventually she became attracted to a young Prussian officer, Baron Friedrich Von Oppen, whose father questioned her background and suspected that money, not love, was Caroline's motive. But Colt used all his influence to insure a quiet marriage and afterward did everything possible to make the couple and fifteen-year-old Samuel happy.
Apparently the boy did not like book learning any better than Sam himself, so Colt brought him back to America and placed him in a private school. He loaned Caroline $1,000 to enable her husband, who had been disinherited, to enter business. The money was soon dissipated, and Caroline feared debtor's prison. Sam came to the rescue again, making the Baron his agent in Belgium. But Von Oppen and Caroline drifted apart, and she was lonely without her child. She appealed to Sam to bring her back to America— and there the curtain drops: the beautiful, tormented Caroline Henshaw Colt Von Oppen vanished from Samuel Colt's life just as he reached the pinnacle of success. She never appeared again, except in a portrait that hung beside one of John Colt at Armsmear, and in the persistent stories (Hartford residents have never let them die) about her true relationship to Samuel Colt.

The child from this marriage was:

General Notes:
Christopher Colt had married seventeen-year-old Theodore DeWolf with high hopes of economic fortune, but like so many of the Colt marriages, a seemingly fortuitous financial situation deteriorated as the DeWolf family lost its wealth. Christopher spent time in Cuba dabbling in the slave trade, but as the trade became illegal, the DeWolf family's problems intersected with his own. Christopher and Theodora were forced to move from town to town, living in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, where Christopher tried to make a living as a bookkeeper, silk manufacturer, or pitchman.
By the 1840s Christopher could be found living in the small town of Dedham, Massachusetts. Their household consisted of several young children and Theodora's father. Never able to recoup his fortune or reputation, George DeWolf visited his daughter in 1844 and died inconspicuously in that rural, hard scrabble town. He had not been able to return to Bristol, and for the next twenty years, his children remained exiles from that town. From Dedham, Christopher's family moved to Patterson and then back to Hartford in the early 1850s. By then Christopher was ill, and as one associate noted, He "has been sick of late. His liver is affected probably by the manner of his life heretofore," He was broke and living with this wife and five children in a local Hartford hotel. His father Christopher Colt had died in 1850; his stepmother who had inherited a considerable amount of money avoided him; and he was estranged from his other siblings.
Sick, indigent, and resentful, Christopher disparaged his brothers. Jealous of Samuel's success, he pressed his claim that he had made improvements to Colt's pistols and was not compensated for them. According to his brother James, Christopher "talks to much for his own and anybody else's good, and which everybody…. It is certainly rich to hear the town talk and speculations of the hour. They may get me ruffled in my temper - a very bad thing - in which event I shall be very apt to hit "anything that is loose." In May, Christopher Colt Jr. died homeless, alienated from his brothers and impoverished. His estrangement contained even after death, for Christopher stipulated that he did not want to be buried near any of his relatives. Destitute, his wife and children were evicted from the hotel and they "obtained board with some family."
Neither the DeWolf nor the Colt families wanted to take responsibility for Christopher Colt's widow and children. A protracted discussion began between James and Samuel Colt over the welfare of their nieces and nephews. Theodora announced that she wanted to remain in Hartford, but James told her "that she must look to her own family and friends for advice." He described her as "very inefficient so far as taking care of a family and the most dependent woman I ever knew. I think she is a very pure minded woman but wants someone to direct and advised for she seems utterly incapable of going ahead Yankee girl fashion." James's interviews with her were" very unpleasant," but productive. It was decided that the family should be split up: two of the youngest boys were sent to New Hartford to attend school; the daughter Isabella was sent to live with Samuel Colt and his family; and the eldest boy resided with a Colt family friend Harry Brach. In an almost unbelievable turn of events akin to a fairy tale, Theodora's fortunes changed dramatically. Upon the death of her brother-in-law Samuel Colt, she challenged his will, won a large settlement for her family, and later returned to Bristol where as Madam Colt she dominated Bristol society. The family regained what they had lost including their magnificent mansion, Linden Place. One of her sons, LeBaron Colt, graduated from Yale, studied law, and later represented Rhode Island in the U. S. Senate. Another son, Samuel P. Colt, became a successful businessman; and her daughter Isabella married well.
But that was in the future, Christopher Colt Jr.'s death exposed many of the tensions with the Colt family, especially the sibling rivalries among the brothers.

Noted events in his life were:
He worked as a Silk Manufacturer in 1850. ⁷¹³ He had a residence in 1850 at Patterson, Passaic, New Jersey. ⁷¹³ In addition to immediate family, also at residence were two servants and his mother-in-law, Charlotte DeWolf, age 62.

Marriage Notes: Marriage Announcement, Connecticut Courant, Hartford, Nov 18, 1837: At Brooklyn, N.Y., Tuesday evening, 14th inst. by Rev Dr. Cutter, Mr. Christopher Colt jr., of this city, to Miss Theodora G. DeWolf, daughter of Gen. Geo. DeWolf, of Cuba.

Death Notes: Obituary, The Hartford Courant, published 18 Sep 1901; Mrs Christopher Colt: Mrs. Theodora Goujaud DeWolf Colt, who died at her residence on Hope street, in Bristol, R. I., Sunday, in the 81st year of her age, was the daughter of General George DeWolf of Bristol, who built the colonial mansion in the year 1810 in which Mrs. Colt was born and died. Her father, and also her grandfather, Charles DeWolf, were extensively engaged in the East and West India trade in the early part of the century, in which they amassed large fortunes in those days. They also owned sugar and coffee estates in Cuba. Charles DeWolf was a brother of James DeWolf, who was United States senator from Rhode Island in 1821. Mrs. Colt's mother was Charlotte Goodwin, daughter of Henry Goodwin of Newport, who was attorney general of Rhode Island, 1787-1780. Her grandmother on her mother's side was a daughter of Governor William Bradford, United States senator from and lieutenant governor of Rhode Island, who was the sixth generation from Governor William Bradford of Plymouth Colony, who crossed in the Mayflower.
Mrs. Colt was married in 1837 to Christopher Colt of his city, who was one of the early manufacturers of silk in this country, and was a brother of Colonel Samuel Colt, inventor of Colt's revolver. Mrs. Colt was a woman of rare intellect, was a great reader and had a wonderfully retentive memory. She wrote articles for magazines and newspapers, principally in verse. One book of her writings, called "Stray Fancies" was published in 1872. Mrs. Colt's girlhood was passed in Bristol, Newport and Cuba, and her married life in Hartford, Dedham, Mass., and Patterson, N. J., where her husband established his silk factories. Christopher Colt died in 1855, his family continuing to live in this city until 1866, when they took up residence in the old DeWolf homestead in Bristol, R. I. Mrs. Colt was born in the same room where she died. She leaves four children: LeBaron B. Colt, United States circuit judge, Samuel P. Colt, president of the Industrial Trust Company, George D. Colt of New York, and Mrs. Isabella Colt DeWolf, wife of Frank E. DeWolf of Bristol.

Burial Notes: Juniper Hill Cemetery.

General Notes: She was the sixth of nine children born to Gen. George and Charlotte (Goodwin) DeWolf. At the 1870 census she gave the value of her real estate as $30, 000 and personal estate as $50,000.

DeWolf was born at Linden Place in 1820. Her father, George DeWolf, built Linden Place in 1819. Following severe financial setbacks, George and his family, including Theodora at age five, fled Bristol on a snowy night in December to avoid creditors and angry townspeople.
Theodora spent the next several years at her family's sugar plantation in Cuba. However, Miss DeWolf was determined to return to Bristol and her ancestral home someday, which she did after marrying into the wealthy Colt family of Hartford, Connecticut. This marriage revived the failing family fortunes and with money and power behind her, Theodora became the grande dame of Bristol. This strong-willed woman came to dominate Bristol society for many years. It was Theodora who planted Linden Trees across the front of the property and renamed the family home Linden Place. Two of the four Presidents that were entertained at Linden Place were received during her occupancy.
A lover and writer of poetry, Theodora self-published several volumes of poetry. When she died, her son Samuel built the magnificent marble school next door, in her memory.

Noted events in her life were:

313. Samuel COLT [2686] ⁹⁰ ^,714 ^,715 (Sarah CALDWELL⁶, Margaret COLLIER⁵, Hezekiah Jr. (Capt.)⁴, Hezekiah (Capt.)³, 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.

Death Notes: Obituary - Hartford Courant, 24 Aug 1905: MRS. COLT DIES OF PARALYSIS // She Lived Five Days After Being Stricken at Her Niece's Home in Newport. // FUNERAL AT CHURCH OF GOOD SHEPHERD, FRIDAY // Tributes by Friends - Beneficent Activities of the First Woman of Connecticut // Mrs. Elizabeth Hart Colt, widow of Colonel Samuel Colt and leader of society in this city and state, died at 4:37 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of her niece, Mrs. Robinson, wife of Colonel C. L. F. Robinson, at Heartsease, Newport, R. I. Mrs. Colt was in her 79^th year. She was stricken with paralysis on Friday, became unconscious and did not rally, except that on Sunday she seemed more comfortable.
The news of Mrs. Colt's death will cause much regret in this city and elsewhere, where she was much esteemed for her fine character, abiding faith and philanthropic deeds. For some time she appeared to be in especially good health and there was no intimation of illness in her condition when she left this city about two weeks ago.
Funeral Arrangements. // The body of Mrs. Colt will be brought to this city today, accompanied by Colonel Robinson and Mrs. Robinson. The funeral services will be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd early tomorrow afternoon, probably at 12:30 o'clock. The exact hour was not decided upon last night. Rev. George T. Linsley, the rector of the church, is in New Hampshire. He has been telegraphed for and it is expected that he will be here to conduct the services. Rev. Dr. Francis Goodwin and Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart will assist in the services. The burial will be in Cedar Hill Cemetery in the vault where the husband and children of Mrs. Colt are buried. Colonel Colt was first buried at Armsmear, where the memorial for him is now being built. Later the body was moved to the vault at Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Had Been in Good Health. // Last autumn Mrs. Colt was in Boston at the time of the General Convention of the Episcopal church, and took her part especially in the triennial meetings of the Women's Auxiliary. The latter part of the winter and the early spring she spent in Florida. In July she attended the summer school for bible and mission study at New Milford.
More recently she spent several days on the Dauntless, her son's yacht, which lies at Essex and had been fitted as a house-boat, and had also visited her niece, Mrs. George Watson Beach, in Saybrook. About two weeks ago she went to Newport to visit another niece, Mrs. C. L. F. Robinson, who recently returned from Europe with her family.
Her Life and Its Activities. // Mrs. Elizabeth Hart Colt was the oldest of nine children of Rev. William Jarvis and Elizabeth Miller Hart, his wife, and was born at Saybrook October 5, 1826. Her father, a well-known clergyman of the Episcopal church, was the youngest child of Hezekiah Jarvis of Norwalk, who was brother of Abraham Jarvis, the second bishop of Connecticut. Rev. William Jarvis was thus cousin of the eminent scholar, Rev. Samuel Farmer Jarvis, who fitted him for college and with whom he continued on terms of close intimacy. The mother was the elder of the two daughters of Major Richard William Hart of Saybrook, who was the only son of General William Hart and grandson of Rev. William Hart of that place. General Hart's wife was a descendant of Rev. Thomas Buckingham, also of Saybrook, while Major Hart's wife was Elizabeth Bull of Newport, R. I., who had been adapted by her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Bull Miller.
Mrs. Colt's father was rector successively in Hebron and Chatham (now Portland); and after loss of voice had compelled him to retire from the active work of the ministry, he remained for some years in Portland, and then took up his residence in Middletown, where on June 5, 1856, his daughter, Elizabeth was married to Colonel Samuel Colt of his city. After a year of travel abroad in the course of which they were presented at the coronation of Czar Alexander of Russia, Colonel Colt brought his bride to the home which he had built at Armsmear in this city, where were born three children, Samuel Jarvis, Elizabeth Jarvis and Henrietta Selden who died in infancy and a son, Caldwell Hart Colt, who attained to mature manhood.
After five years and a half of married life, Colonel Colt died on January 10, 1862, leaving to his wife the care of large interest and a heavy responsibility, the duties of which she undertook and carried on with great courage and ability. The son, Commodore Caldwell Hart Colt, lived to the age of 44, and died January 21, 1894, in Florida.
Mrs. Colt's last surviving brother, Richard William Hart Jarvis, for many years president of the Colt Patent Firearms Company, died on the 21^st of January, 1903. The sister next to her in age, Hetty Hart Jarvis, married Cyprian Nichols Beach, son of the elder George Beach of this city, and died in 1898, leaving a daughter, Elizabeth Hart Jarvis, who is the wife of Charles L. F. Robinson of Newport, R. I. The widow of John Samuel Jarvis, a brother, resides in this city with her daughter, Elizabeth Colt Jarvis, wife of George Watson Beach. And one sister survives, Mrs. Mary Louisa FitzGerald, widow of Rev. Frederick FitzGerald, with three daughters, Elizabeth Jarvis, Mary Collins and Anna Greenough, and a son, Frederick, who is in business in New York.

Burial Notes: Cedar Hill Cemetery

General Notes: The entire estate of her deceased husband was controlled by her and son Caldwell and was valued at $15,000,000 an enormous sum in those days', 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. ¹⁵³⁵ Also at residence were her brother Richard Jarvis (age 70), six domestics and one nurse.

Children from this marriage were:

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 tonsillitis, 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.

Burial Notes: Spring Grove Cemetery.

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 no 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 borrowed money for living expenses. So many were his obligations that his first $100,000 was nearly all absorbed by the time he got it.

In May 1897 a suit was begun by his sons; James B. Colt, Washington DC, and Norman B. Colt, Seattle, Washington, nephews of Samuel Colt who died in 1862, against their aunt Elizabeth Colt of Hartford for $1,000,000. The suit was the result of the revoking of legacies to the plaintiffs by Samuel Colt and that Mrs. Colt influenced her husband to revoke certain codicils to his will. It was alleged that Mrs. Colt was moved by hatred and induced her husband to believe that letter containing scandalous matter were written and sent by James B. Colt, or his wife, or someone acting under their direction. It was further asserted that Samuel Colt desired a reconciliation with his brother, but that Mrs. Colt prevented it, and that Colonel Colt's death was soon thereafter caused or unduly hastened by the improper use of medicines or an overdose thereof.

Noted events in his life were:
He was employed as a Judge /Lawyer in 1860 in St. Louis, , Missouri. ⁷¹⁷ He had a residence in 1860 at St. Louis, , Missouri. ⁷¹⁷ He was employed as a Retired - Judge in 1870. ⁷¹⁶ He had a residence in 1870 at Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. ⁷¹⁶ Also at residence were his wife, daughter Alice (age 20) and son Norman (age 17).

Death Notes: He was drowned in Shanghai bay at the age of forty-nine years. Some say the result of a mutiny.
[The 1885 obituary for his brother Goodwin Collier said he was a sea captain and died in Australia.]

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. By the time of his death he owned interests in six ships and was always moving between them.

Henry married Emily Caroline DEWITT [2555].⁷³⁸.^,745 Emily was born in 1828 in New Orleans, , Louisiana and died in 1847 in Savannah, Chatham, Georgia, at age 19.

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

Obituary - Minutes of the … Northern Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1905, page 184: CHAPLAIN GEORGE W. COLLIER. U. S. A. // In the death of Chaplain Collier there disappears a man of marked character and influence He was a man in every proper sense of the term a manly man, a Christian man, a true disciple of the Master, a prophet of the Lord, a servant of the Most High, a faithful friend, a citizen ever seeking civic righteousness, a patriot of unexcelled loyalty, a soldier whose services covered all the years of the Civil War. Chaplain Collier was born at LeRoy, Ohio, in 1825, and died in Delaware, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rev, L. K. Warner, July 16, 1905. Early in his life he became a schoolteacher. He entered the North Ohio Conference in 1850. He spent eighteen years in the pastoral relation, four years as Presiding Elder, one year as Financial Secretary of the Ohio Wesleyan, thirty years as an army chaplain. As a pastor he was always particularly sympathetic with the sick, the sorrowing, and attentive to the aged and to the young. As a preacher he was eminently practical, direct, evangelistic, and revivalistic. He was pre-eminently a wise administrator of all the interests of the charges over which he presided. He built many church edifices, and was of great service in church dedications. He was unusually well adapted to army chaplaincy. He suffered himself to be captured by General John H. Morgan, rather than forsake the sick and wounded of his regiment, when, with others, he could easily have escaped. Morgan believed him to be a spy, and determined to hang him, but he was saved by the death of Morgan and the intervention of General Johnston. His wonderful influence over the soldiers brought cheer to the camp and inspiration in battle. One of the greatest achievements of his life was his part in the founding and organization of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, located at Xenia, Ohio. Within two years he traveled in Ohio ten thousand miles to awaken public sentiment, to secure co-operation of army organizations, and to raise funds for launching the enterprise. Many thousand boys and girls have found a delightful home, a good education, and a thorough training in the trades they wished to learn. The institution in all its history has been, and it will ever be, a monument to the thoughtfulness, planning, sacrifices, service, and oversight of Chaplain Collier. Chaplain Collier was a man of no ordinary mold. His mental and moral qualities combined to constitute a stalwart and heroic character.
His early ministry identified him with the pioneer preachers of Methodism in Northern and Northwestern Ohio. He had a strong and highly emotional nature, deep and warm impulses, great enthusiasm in any approved enterprise, but all these were under the control of a sound judgment and clear conviction. His environments, especially in his army life, were often trying, but no moral principle was ever compromised by any concession or conduct on his part. He lived a transparent life. He was a model patriot, his army life his full proof. He was a student of all public measures, and earnestly strove to adjust his best influence to them. Love of the Commonwealth and county, and an every-day devotion to their good were no little part of his pure and undefiled religion. He was an unusual student of current events, and their influence upon the public weal. He had an optimistic view of the present, and always believed the future would be better. A marked and prevailing characteristic was his ardent love of life; without being worldly he loved this old world, where he had seen eighty summers come and go. Life was as clear to him in his last days as it was in his youth. He longed to see the outcome of national and international events. Had he been consulted he would have added a decade more to his fourscore. But he uttered no murmurings against Providence in his sufferings and privations covering a full year. He gave testimony to his preparation for the change that must come. He felt it was hard to say,"Good-night," but in his heart rejoiced that a bright "good-morning" from his beloved companion, from a multitude of his friends, and spiritual children awaited him on the other shore.

Burial Notes: He was buried at the Old Grove Cemetery.

General Notes: George W. Collier became a Methodist minister and served as a Chaplain in the Civil War and later as a Chaplain in the regular army. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Church in 1850 at the age of 25. He served pastorates in the North Ohio Conference from 1850 to 1854 at Milan, Melmore, Fostoria and Kenton. In 1853 he was also agent of the Sabbath School Union. While pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Fostoria, Ohio, the first graves dug in the New Fostoria cemetery were for two of his children, George Olin and Mary Ella Collier.

He then served pastorates in the Central Ohio Conference from 1856 to 1860 at Toledo and West Liberty. In 1861 he was appointed Chaplain of the 34th Ohio Regiment by Governor Dennison, a position in which he served four years. In May 1864 after a battle at Wytheville, Virginia, the wounded Union soldiers were left at a house with Chaplain Collier detailed to remain with them. He was taken prisoner by confederate troops under the command of General John H. Morgan and held for four months as a spy, in the jail at Abingdon, Virginia.

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 to 160 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.

Rev. Collier again served pastorates in the Central Ohio Conference from 1866 to 1869 at Toledo and Fremont and in the Northern Ohio Conference from 1870 to 1874 at Tiffin and Sandusky. In 1875 he was an Agent for Ohio Wesleyan University and from 1876 to 1878 he was presiding Elder of the Wooster District.

During his appointment at Freemont (1868 - 1869) he was relieved from duty to do special work under the direction of Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who served in the Civil War. In 1870 he was commissioned Chaplain in Chief in the GAR, on the staff of General John H. Logan. During this period he helped to raise money for the founding of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphan Home at Xenia, Ohio, in 1869. His correspondence said; "This is the most important work of my life blessing more young lives putting them in position to help themselves and to help the world". 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. The 150-acre campus is now home to the Xenia Christian School, Athletes in Action, and other various Christian ministries. The Collier Chapel, built in 1873, is one of the oldest buildings that remains standing on campus.

George W. Collier was a personal friend of President Rutherford Hayes, under whom he served during the Civil War, also of President William McKinley. A number of letters written by President Hayes to him have been given to the Hayes Memorial Library a Fremont, Ohio. In 1879 he was recommended by Major William McKinley and on June 3, 1879 nominated by President Rutherford Hayes to the post of; Chaplain of the United States Army which was approved by the U.S. Senate. He was stationed at Fort Pembina, Dakota Territory, from 1879 to 1883 and at Fort Totten, Dakota Territory from 1884 to 1889.

He retired from active service 29 Aug 1889 at age 64. He moved to Delaware, Ohio, in 1898 to educate his sons, George F. and Edwin S. Collier. He spent 1894, 1895 in the south. He died at Delaware, Ohio, 1905 at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Louis and Ellen Warner.

Death Notes: Obituary - (undated newspaper clipping): MRS. ELEANOR JANE JONES COLLIER // Eleanor Jane Jones, the wife of Chaplin G. W. Collier, U. S. A., suddenly died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Rev. L. K. Warner, in Mount Vernon, Ohio, November 16, 1898. She leaves a stricken husband, one daughter, three sons, one sister and two brothers, a large company of relatives, and a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances gathered along the pathway of a long and useful life. She and her husband had walked together for more than fifty-one years. They began their itinerary in the North Ohio Conference in 1850, and from that time all the trials, hardships, and successes incident to that kind of life and labor she shared with her husband. This covered the period of the Civil War, in which trying time her heroic spirit was manifest. In 1879 her husband was appointed to a post chaplaincy in the United States army, and for ten years their home was in the far Northwest. After his retirement they lived in Delaware for four years, and since then have made their home principally with their daughter, taking occasion each winter to spend a few months in the South. They were just maturing plans for another journey South, when she suddenly departed for fairer climes, to be at home forever with her Lord. Mrs. Collier died at the age of seventy-one. Her form was erect, her countenance fair and beautiful. She was frail as a flower, yet with a strength of endurance that astonished her friends. She loved all that was beautiful. Her home was first in consideration, and she made it an ideal one. She reigned as queen, and her love and care were manifest to the smallest affairs that concerned that charmed circle. She was a loyal and devoted Christian, with a courage that would have adorned the early Christians. She loved flowers and children. Hers was a pure and lofty spirit, that with fine perception was strongly attracted by all that was uplifting. She lived for her family, and gave her children to the service of God with the marks of her careful training and the benediction of her lofty spirit. Her crowning earthy glory, perhaps, was when her youngest son was ordained to the eldership in that never-to-be-forgotten ordination service, conducted by Bishop Goodsell, at Millersburg, at the last session of the North Ohio Conference. Her faced was aglow with heavenly light, and an expression of unutterable peace wreathed her face in smiles. She came to Mount Vernon two weeks before she died. She was already ill, but no one apprehended immediate danger. But suddenly, while the attending physician was present, surrounded by husband, daughter, and family, she quietly passed to the home beyond. Brief funeral services were held in Mount Vernon, conducted by Rev. C. F. Johnson, presiding elder of the district, assisted by Revs. G. W. Ball, L. M. Snyder, and J. F. Hastings. The interment was at Delaware, where services were held in Asbury Church, Sunday afternoon, November 20^th, conducted by Rev. A. J. Lyons, assisted by the pastor, A. D. Knapp and Professors Whitlock, Stevenson and Williams.

Burial Notes: She was buried at the Old Grove Cemetery.

Death Notes: Sandusky Daily Register, Aug 1, 1879, p.4, col.4: A Son of Rev. G. W. Collier, Formerly of this City, Drowned at Lakeside // Wm. Collier, son of Rev. G. W. Collier, of Wooster, this State, but formerly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and well known throughout the section of country, was drowned at Lakeside yesterday afternoon at about half past one o'clock. Young Collier and a friend had gone on the lake in a boat for the purpose of taking a bath, and when they reached a point about half a mile west of the Lakeside dock Collier undressed and got into the water. It appears from the statement of Collier's companion that Collier was holding to the side of the boat while he was rowing, and that suddenly Collier was seized with cramps and disappeared below the surface of the water. He went down so quickly that his companion could offer him no assistance, and although the young man in the boat waited some time for him to come up, the body did not rise, and had not been recovered up to the time at which the steamer Ferris reached this city from Lakeside that afternoon.
Rev. G. W. Collier and family have been at Lakeside several days in attendance upon the religious meetings at that place. Their many friends here and elsewhere will be deeply pained to learn of this accident. Young Collier was a bright, intelligent young man, about twenty years of age, and his sudden death is a terrible blow to his parents and friends.
Later - The body of young Collier was found about six o'clock last evening near the place he went down. It was taken to Lakeside immediately and placed in a box and brought to this city last night on the steamer Ferris, and was given in charge to Mr. Ruff, the undertaker. The remains will be sent to Wooster his morning. The unfortunate young man's father and mother were at Wooster when the accident occurred. Young Collier's other relatives who were at Lakeside when he was drowned will arrive here this morning on the Ferris and accompany the remains home. A gentleman who came over from Lakeside last night with the remains informs us that the name of the young man who was with Collier at the time he was drowned is Thorpe and that he resides at Bellevue.

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 [748],⁷⁹⁹ ^,800 son of Birdsey Baldwin NORTON [899] ¹⁶⁹⁰ and Emily Miranda WARD [900],¹⁶⁹⁰ on 30 Jul 1859 in , Medina County, Ohio ²⁰.^,1687.^,1688.^,1689 Charles was born on 9 Sep 1836 in Westfield, Medina, Ohio,^{⁹³⁷^,1689} died on 14 Jan 1908 in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona,^{⁸⁰⁰^,801^,1691^,1692} at age 71, and was buried in Oakdale Cemetery, Wilton, Iowa.^⁸⁰¹
Death Notes: Obituary - Arizona Republic, Phoenix, 17 Jan 1908: MANY WERE PRESENT TO PAY RESPECTS //Funeral for C. W. Norton and Synopsis of Rev. Campbell's' Eulogy of an Upright Life //The funeral service of C. W. Norton, who died Tuesday night, Jan. 14, at 7 o'clock, of ascending paralysis, after an illness dating so recently as Saturday night, Jan 11, was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence of his son Dr. J. C. Norton, 344 North Second avenue. The dead man though a citizen of Wilton Junction, Iowa, had spent much time in Phoenix having visited here during seven of the past twelve winters. He returned last, with his wife, two or three weeks ago, and was in his usual good health until the end of last week. By reason of his frequent visits and the interest he took in the welfare of Arizona and her people, particularly the prosperity of his city and valley, he had become well known to many Phoenix people who were proud to do him honor, even though it was a tribute of sadness, in the final acknowledgements the living may tender to their kind.
The funeral was therefore largely attended, and the service was in impressive one. It was conducted by Rev. Campbell of the Presbyterian church who spoke eloquently and with effect, and no words could be more eloquent than the minister's untinted reference to the personal characteristics of a good man, whose life story was a continued purpose to make the world better and to lessen the burdens other were called upon to bear. The music consisted of three hymns, "Nearer My God To Thee," "I Know My Heavenly Father Knows," and "Abide With Me," which were sweetly sung by Mrs. Depew, Miss Parker, Mr. Rice and Mr. Heinrich, with Mrs. Hulett accompanying. Interment will be made at a later date, in the family plat in Wilton Junction, and for the present the bereaved wife will remain her with the family of her son. The relatives are keenly appreciative of the kindness extended by many friends in their hour of sorrow and many telegrams of condolence were received yesterday form distant friends. Following are some of the remarks by Rev. Campbell.
Charles William Norton was born in Medina County, Ohio, September 9^th, 1836, and died at the home of his son, J. C. Norton, in Phoenix, Arizona, January 14, 1908. He was married July 14, 1859 to Miss Mary A. Collier. In 1863 he came west and settled in Wilton Junction, Iowa, where he engaged in agriculture and stock raisin, in which occupations he was unusually successful.
[Synopsis of Rev. Campbell's eulogy omitted]

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 had 130 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.

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 performed 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. She was a devout Christian and her Bible was truly her daily companion. She was a woman of most gentle and attractive personality. Her brother, the late Charles W. Johnson, died in 1901, and a sister, Miss Sarah Butler Johnson, in 1902. She is survived by two sisters, Misses Harriet and Laura Johnson, one son, John Marshall Holcombe, and three grandchildren, Harold Goodwin Holcombe, John Marshall Holcombe, jr., and Miss Emily Marguerite Holcombe.

Death Notes: Obituary - Hartford Courant published 16 Dec 1889: Mr. James H. Holcomb, for many years a resident of Hartford, died, after a brief illness, on the 18^th of last month, at Positano, Italy, where he has been living for a year or more.
Mr. Holcomb was born in Granby, in this state, in 1806, and was in his 83rd year, being one of the oldest members, if not the oldest of the Hartford bar. He began the practice of law her in 1834, and his first law partner was the Hon. James Dixon. Afterward he was with James O. Walkley and Judge Z. A. Storrs. He was clerk of the superior court from 1838 to 1842, when he was succeeded by Thomas H. Seymour. Mr. Holcombe was clerk of the house in 1847. He was never of vigorous health, and, his strength failing, he went aboard, with his wife and daughter and one son in 1878, and has lived there ever since, returning only once to Hartford in that period. His daughter died the first year of their absence. His home has been most of the time in the even climate of Italy, for several years in Capri, though he also traveled a good deal; and Positano, where he died, was chosen because of its general healthfulness.
Mrs. Holcombe, who was a daughter of General Nathan Johnson and sister of Mr. Charles W. Johnson, survives him, as do both of his sons, Mrs. James W. Holcombe, who graduated at Yale in 1868, and Mr. John M. Holcombe, Yale '69, the vice-president of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company. Mrs. Holcombe and Mr. James W. Holcombe will probably return to Hartford in the spring.

Death Notes: Obituary - Hartford Courant published 3 Dec 1901: CHARLES WILLIAM JOHNSON // Death of Former Clerk of Superior Court in Hartford // Charles W. Johnson, who had been for many years clerk of the superior court for Hartford county, died at 11:30 last night at his home, No. 79 Elm street. Mr. Johnson had been confined to his house for about two years, and his death was not unexpected.
Charles William Johnson was born in this city October 7, 1831, and was the son of General Nathan Johnson and Sarah Butler Merrill, his wife. He was a descendant of some of the oldest of New England families, among his ancestors being Deacon Samuel Chaplin, founder of Springfield. Among the early settlers of Hartford with whose families Mr. Johnson was connected were those of Governor John Webster, John Marsh, Richard Lyman, John Pratt, William Wadsworth, Richard Olmstead and John Watson. Mrs. Johnson was educated in Hartford and prepared for the legal profession here, practicing law after his admission to the bar until 1862, when he was chosen assistant clerk of the superior court of Hartford county, and was the first incumbent of that office. He continued in this service until June, 1873, when he was chosen clerk at the annual meeting of the judges in June and held that office until 1897, when he resigned because of failing health. He was thus connected with the clerk's office of that court for a period of thirty-five years, and naturally, had an extensive acquaintance, not only with the lawyers of Hartford county, but of the state. He was a careful and painstaking man and performed the duties of clerk to the satisfaction of the judges of the state, as evidenced by his long continuance in office. He was of an extremely social nature and counted among his friends the judges of the courts during all his term of service, and was a charming companion, a widely read man and fond of society. Since his retirement from the clerkship he had been a confirmed invalid, and had scarcely been out of doors for the past two years.
Mr. Johnson married Mary Stedman, sister of the late General Griffin A. Stedman and daughter of Griffin A. and Mary Stedman, in 1870. Mrs. Johnson died some months ago. He leaves two children, Mabel and Eleanor, and four sisters, the Misses Johnson of this city and Mrs. James H. Holcombe, now living in Europe. John M. Holcombe of this city is a nephew of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson's grandfather, Hezekiah Merrill, was cashier of the Hartford Bank, his brother-in-law, John Caldwell, being its first president. Mr. Merrill was made city treasurer at the time Hartford was incorporated as a city in 1784 and filled the office until his death in 1801. He married Catherine Collier, granddaughter of Caption Joseph Wadsworth of Charter Oak fame. Mr. Johnson's father, General Nathan Johnson, was prominent in the legal profession in this city and in its military affairs, having been a lieutenant in the ware of 1812 and from, 1816 to 1820 serving as colonel of the Second Regiment of Light Artillery, and from 1820 until 1828 as brigadier general of the state artillery. In those early days some notable general training days took place in Hartford, Wethersfield, Windsor and East Hartford and there were also military displays on special occasions. In 1817 three artillery companies, under command of Colonel Johnson, were reviewed by President Monroe in this city, and in 1824, when General Lafayette visited this city, some 1,200 militia under command of General Johnson escorted the distinguished Frenchman. On this occasion nearly 100 officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary War were present. General Johnson graduated at Yale in the class of 1802 and studied law with Chief Justice Ellsworth, making his home in the Ellsworth household, where he prepared two of Justice Ellsworth's sons for college. General Johnson was town treasurer for sixteen years, quartermaster general of the state and a fellow of Yale College. He was state senator for 1825 to 1829 and when his party was in power was offered the position of United States senator, which he declined.

General Notes: A HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCES OF DEANS OF WOMEN, 1903-1922, Janice Joyce Gerda, 2004: While teaching in Salt Lake City, she met a professor, George Reynolds Mathews, and they married. She returned to school after her husband's death earning her bachelor's degree at Stanford University while teaching to support herself.
The next few years turned Lois into a serious scholar of history, and she connected herself to a network of important male scholars who helped guide her to a PhD at Radcliffe. She was the first woman to pass the Harvard examinations for history, economics, and political science, but at that time she was not eligible for the Harvard degree on account of her sex. Her important historical book, based upon her thesis, was The Expansion of New England. After a time teaching at Vassar College, she went to the University of Wisconsin. With the assistance of the eminent historian Frederick Jackson Turner, she resolutely negotiated terms that would allow her parity with male faculty, in addition to being the Dean of Women. The year 1915 saw the publication of her comprehensive 275-page book, The Dean of Women. In 1918, Lois remarried, to Marvin Bristol Rosenberry, who became the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

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. ¹⁸⁰¹ 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. He served during the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 as Surgeon and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Volunteers ¹⁷⁹⁹ ^,1813 He worked as a Physician from 1866 to 1895 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. ⁸³⁸ ^,1801 He resided at 79 Hanson Place in 1880 at Brooklyn, Kings, New York. ¹⁸¹¹

In Memoriam - Grim-visaged Death seems ever active, in search of the fairest. This time he has stricken a most lovely type of maidenhood by removing from earth Viroqua Higley, daughter of Walter Higley, Esq. Suffering for several months from a complexity of diseases, she has at last been called from the pains of the flesh to that place above for which she was so thoroughly prepared. Possessed of an amiable disposition, sweet temper and gentle manner, she won the affection of all with whom she came in contact, by her winning ways. She possessed traits of character rarely found in young ladies of the present day, and it seems doubly sad to lose one who, while so young, gave promise of proving an ornament to her class in whatever capacity she was found. She was a studious pupil of Bainbridge Academy up to the present term, and was beloved by teachers and class-mates alike. She was an active member of St. Peter's Church, Sabbath School and choir, and proved herself to be a devoted follower of Him to whom she early gave her heart. Her exemplary Christian character is worthy of emulation by all. We bow in humble submission to this divine summons, although hardly reconciling ourselves to the shock. The grief stricken parents have universal sympathy in this trying ordeal.
