THOMAS SHEFFIELD MORISON.
THOMAS SHEFFIELD Monisox, who de-
parted this life in the city of Washing-
ton on Saturday morning, April. 21st,
1804, at a quarter to five o’clock, in the
twenty-ninth year of his age, was born
in Brooklyn, N. Y. In early boyhood
his parents rem0ved to Norwalk and
this town since then has been his cher-
ished home. Several months ago he
was attacked with typhoid fever, re-
sulting in a serious impairment of his
naturally buoyant health and leaving
him the victim of dangerous rheumatic
complications. In the forepart of the
past winter he, accompanied by his
mother, wife and two little children,
went to Thomasville, Georgia, hoping
to recuperate in that genial climate.
TheSe expectations not being realized,
the party left Georgia on the 9th inst.
for home, arriving in Washington on
the following day. Here they halted
for a short and restful break in the
journey and stopped at the Shoreham.
Almost immediately after their arrival
at the hotel, Mr. Morison suffered an
alnrming relapse. His heart had be-
come so involved with the old rheumatic
trouble, that a fatal termination was
imminent. His Thomasvillc physician
had accompanied him to Washington
and upon his advice Dr. Gregory, who
had been in charge of his case prior to
his departure South, was forthwith
summoned to his bedside. Dr. Hutch-
inson of New York, a relative, also
hurried to him. Everything that medi—
cal skill could devise was resorted to
and attendant friends were unceasmg
in their loving ministrations to the
doomed sufferer, but all human effort
was unavailing.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Beatty were al-
ready guests at the Shoreham when the
Morisons reached there. Mr. T. Stan-
ley Vanderhoef hurried to him from
New York and remained to the end, in
unremitting care and serVice at the
couch of his death-stricken friend. In
the early twilight of Saturday morn-
ing’s first dawn, “God’s finger touched
him and he slept.” Near ones dear
ones shed bitter unavailing tears over -
their departed loved one, and then his
coilined remains were tenderly con-
signed to the faithful care of a special
messenger of the Adams Express com—
pauy who safely delivered them to their
Norwalk destination. Here in surcease
of pain and sorrow, he is to be laid be-
side other “dear ones gone before,”
who sleep in our beautiful “garden of
the dear ,” Union cemetery.
in all the sore trials and suffering vi-
cissitudes that overwhelm our human
experience, few bereavements are so
pathetic, so full of sorrow’s deepest
agony and so hard to bear, as when
relentless death snatches from us the
young man, full of hope and energy,
of high aspiration and exalted courage,
rejoicing in his strength, and eager to
press onward and upward to win the
alluring prizes of noble, useful living.
But when such an one is “a widow’s
son, an only one,” an adored husband,
a father of prattling babes, a genial,
generous favorite among hosts of ard-
cnt friends,possessing affluent resources
of material things and better still, of
head and heart, to make life worthy
the noblest living, the departure of
such an one becomes an unutterable
sorrow. And yet there is a divine solace
to every mourner in the thought, that—
"110 whose lOve exceeded ours,
Has taken home his child. '
Railroad Men’s Meeting.
Three hundred delegates, represent-
ing the secret protective organizations
of railroad cmploycs met in Bridgeport,
Sunday. The delegates were from the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men, the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmcn, the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers and the Switchmen’s Mutual
Aid association. The object of the
meeting was to form a federation of the
assccmtions.
Diapered! Doubled! Drunk! Dead!
It is stated that it costs the people of
the United States $25,000,000 each year
to be born, $300,000,000 to get married,
$000,000,000 to get drunk, and $75,000,-
000 to be buried. What it costs to
smoke is probably included by the stat-
istician in his last estimate which would,
however, seem to be a rather low esti-
mate.

WASHINGTON.
The wife of John Lane, formerly of,
rand well known in Norwalk, died here
Friday night last. She was a very es-
timable woman and esteemed by all
who knew her. She leaves an infant
but a week old and her death resulted
from that event. Mr. Lane was at St.
Albans, Vt, superintending the erec-
tion of the government building there
for which he recently secured the con-
tract, but reached here a few hours be-
fore his wife passed away. It is a sad
and pathetic coincidence, that Mr.
Lane’s first wife died some. three years
since under identically the same dis-
tressing circumstances.
sympathy of many friends he has made
here. ‘
Miss Ada Dyas closed her engage-
ment at the National Theatre Saturday
night. This talented actress is an es-
tablished favorite with Washington’s
play going elite.
Some 400 unemployed factory cin-
ployees, including 30 women, marched
into Washington Friday evening, from
a B. & 0. train. They are from Phila-
delphia and Camden mostly. The La-
bor organizations of the capital are
furnishing them with quarters and ra-
tions. They are orderly and well up-
pareled. They say they came to im-
plore Congress not to pass the Wilson
bill and claim not to be Coxeyites.
There is no disguising the fact that
and the dozen or more similar organi-
zations at the East, North and West,
bent on coming here, is causing the
authorities and people no little anxiety.
An orderhas been promulgated by Treas-
urer Morgan, forbidding for the pres-
ent, any more visiting of strangers to the
vaults of the Treasury and at the Son-
ate cards will be required by all stran-
gers seeking admission to the galleries
from and after to-day, until the Coxey
excitement is over.
Some wag makes the charge that the
reason the democrats in Congress are
in such a panic to close up legislation
and hurry home, is because of a fear
of being caught here when these fast
approaching Coxey tourists arrive and
flood the city.
The Misses Mary R. and F. Wake-
man of Southport, and Mr. and Mrs.
E. H. Townsend of Greenwich, are
here. Senator Platt has returned from
his trip to the Indian Territory. Mrs.
Nellie Grant Sartoris occupied a Senate
gallery seat during the funeral services
of Senator Vance. It is stated she and
her mother will make Washington their
permanent home.
Official figures 01 tuned at the Treas-
ury show that for the nine months and
a half of the present fiscal year the ex-
penditures have exceeded the receipts
by $03,000,000.

Death of Eri Keeler.
Eri Kreler died at the residence of
his sister, Mrs. Pcrmelia Beding, 104

Wednesday evening, April 11, 1804, at

Says the Fremont. Ohio, Journal:
Luke Keoler, born February 15, 1770,
was married May 20, 1703, to Jemima
Benedict, born August 30, 1773. Luke
Keeler was a farmer and trucker of
New Canaan, Conn., making weekly
trips to New York city with butter.
eggs and other commodities; To this
couple were born eleven children, seven
sons and four daughters. The second
child, a daughter, died in infancy. All
the children were born in New Canaan,
and with one exception grew to man-
hood and womanhood. In July, 1817,
Luke Keeler with his wife and nine
children left New Canaan, Conn , for
Norwalk, 0., with all his worldly effects
packed in a wagon drawn by a yoke of
oxen and a lighter Wagon drawn by one
horse, in which the mother and young-
er children rode when weary with Walk-
ing. Their route was through Penn-
sylvania, over the Allegheny mountain's
via. Pittsburg. Without any serious
mishaps, their destination was retiched
in Sept-ember, just six weeks from the
time of starting. At some places a
road had to he cut, sloughs and creeks
were bridged or logged over, or a long
detour made around. Deep morasses
had to be gone through, some very
deep, and not a few wide streams were
forded. The weather, however, favored
them, for there was not a severe storm
in all the weary journey. Mr. Keelcr
bought 100 acres of land, on which his
many handed family quickly reared a
log house. ’ he oldest son there met
his father’s family and all made their
home together.
Luke Kcelcr died on his farm Nov-
ember 4, 1843, in his Trith year. His
widow died on the same farm at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Por-
melia Becling, June 2-1, 1850, in her 85th
year. All of the sons and daughters,
With their companions, excepting Per-
melia. the youngest daughter, born in
1816, have passed frOm earth.
Eri Kceler, the third son and fourth
child of Luke and Jemima Healer, was
born in New Canaan, Conn, June 5,
1700. He learned the blacksmithing
and edge tool trade in Norwalk, Conn.,
coming with his parents to N orwalk, 0.,
in 1817, where he soon opened a shop
to do the necessary iron work for the
convenience and necessity of the set-
tlers. July 10, 1821, he was married to
Sally Marvin of Sharon, Richland
county, 0., daughter of Isaac and Han-
nah Hoyt Marvin, born at Norwalk,
Conn, March 8, 1’7 0. The first year
after Mr. Keeler’s marriage he lived
and worked at his trade in Milan, 0.,
where his first child, a daughter, was
born and died. The next year he
moved to Norwalk where he opened
his shop and pursued his trade in all its
lines, which he continued to follow un-
til about 1800, when he moved to the
old family homestead.
By act of the Ohio Legislature on
the 11th day of February, 1828, the vil-
lage _of Norwalk, Huron county, 0.,
was incorporated. The first election
was held on the 5th of May following,
and Eri Keeler was the fourth voter on
the list.
Luke Kecler and all his family were
members of the Protestant Episcopal
church. and it was largely through his
efforts the church was established in
N orwalk. After a few years a Baptist
church was organized there, and Eri
Keeler united,to be followed a few years
later by his wife, both of whom were
ardent advocates of baptism by immer-
sion.

Captain William Burr Hendrick’s
Body Found in the River.
Last Seen Standing'on the Carriage
Bridge at South Norwalk.
Another of those distressing events
which shock the sensibilities of acorn.
munity occurred Saturday night in the
drowning of Captain William Burr
Hendrick, of East avenue. The and
event was first announced about seven
o’clock this morning, and has cast the
deepest gloom over our entire town.
He was widely and pleasantly known,
and being of an unusually happy and
jovial, temperament,had hosts of friends
who admired him. He was all heart;
even “his errors leaned to virtue’s
side.”
As far as can be learned of the sad
affair, Captain Hendrick left his home
at the corner of East avenue and Hen-
drick lane about two o’clock Saturday
afternoon, to go down the river after
flat fish with George Kellogg. They
returned about half-past seven o’clock
and secured their boat at Toby’s float,
south of the carriage bridge at South
Norwalk. Captain Hendrick got out
upon the float followed by Kellogg,
who went up the stairs to do an errand
leaving the Captain sitting on the float.
After Kellogg left the float Captain
Hendrick went up the stairs to the
bridge and going into William Jesse’s
drank a glass of gingerale. He re-
mained in Jesse’s about five minutes
and walked back to the draw, where he
was met by an acquaintance who stopped
and spoke with him. This was the last
seen of him until his body was found
floating in the water off Verity’s boat
house between the two bridges.
\Vhen Kellogg returned to the boat
he could not find the Captain and after
making numerous inquiries concluded
he had gone home, so got into the boat
and rowed to his home at the foot of
Hendrick lane.
As the Captain did not come home
Saturday night his son, Elmer Hen.
drick, went to South Norwalk Sunday
morning and made inquiries for him.
Early this morning he returned to
South Norwalk fully convinced that
something had happened to his father,
and in company with W. S. Hatfield
and Earnest Grocschner walked out
on the bridge surrounding the Verity
boat house. The tide was low and they
had no sooner reached the plank lead-
ing to the float when they saw the rub-
ber coat which the Captain wore Satur-
day night, floating in the water.
Hastily calling to “Tom” Smith, who
was dredging under the carriage bridge,
they rowed to the spot and found the
Captain’s body. Securing the body to
the boat they towed it to Tobey’s float,
and sent for Medical Examiner Burke,
who after an examination decided it a
case of accidental drowning.
It is not known how the Captain got
overboard, as no one saw him or heard
any splashing in the water near the
bridge. ’1 he only theory, and probably
the correct one,_advanccd is that the
Captain started to return to the boat
and instead of going down the stairs
next to Toby’s store, by mistake went
down the dangerous stairs attached to
the side of the bridge. Half way down
there is one step gone from those stairs
and it is thought that he missed his
footing at this point and plunged into
the river. A skiff which was attached
to these stairs was found half full of
water Sunday morning, while on Sat-
urday night there was no water in it.
This would look as though the Captain
in falling had grabbed the gunwale of
the skiff and careened it until it filled.
William Burr Hendricu was born in
Norwalk on July 31, 1826, and was in
the (58th year of his age. He was one
of the best known men in town having
been Selectman and for several years
an Assessor. He leaves a widow and
two grown sons, William H. and Elmer
E. Hendrick, also a brother, LeGrand
Hendrick, of East Norwalk.
The body was removed to Raymond’s
undertaking rooms, where it was pre-
pared for burial and then taken to his
residence on East avenue.
The funeral will be attended from his
late home No. 160 East avenue, Wed-
nesday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock.
