Osborn Hamline Oldroyd, former owner of the famous Lincoln collection of relics and mementos, which has been viewed by thousands of persons at the Lincoln Museum, 516 Tenth street, died at_his home, 1723 Webster street, after a long fllness. He was 88 years old. During his final iliness Col.

Oldroyd opefied the Tenth street house, in which Lincoln died, for exhibit of a large part of the collection in 1893, Although the first few years com- anluvelv few persons viewed the col- ection, the knowledge of it spreld until in more recent years thousands of per- sons visited the house. Col. Oldroyd sold the collection to the Government some four years ago, following a special act of Congress to purchase it. (T HSTNE CALL LINC. 10200 SPEClA:.fiPIIasS iy a Promptly done. Declined Offer of Job. At the time of the sale, it was point- ed out today, Col. Oldroyd was offered the position of custodian of the collec- tion. This he declined, explaining that he had spent many years there. Where- upon Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, super- intendent of Public Buildings and Pub- lic Parks of the National Capital, gave Col.

The artist has caught an expression of Gen. Gorgas which made him so loved by all who knew him—a sympathetic and personal interest in all those who addressed him. Shortly before the death of Mrs. Gorgas last year, Mrs. Sparrow fin- ished a bust of the general which she had been commissioned to do by Mrs. Gorgas. Although the general’s widow ‘was satisfled with the work, the artist felt she could do greater justice to her subject and immediately started work n s second portrayal.
