MITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. marild ‘With his family gathered about him at the home of his brother, Charles F. Harwood, in Stafford Springs, the death of ex-Mayor Calvin L. Harwpod occurred on Thursday afternoon at 1.25 O'clock. He was stricken with a cére- bral hemorrhage at the tea table at his brother’s home on Monday evening. March 21, from which he never re: covered consciousness. He some improvement during the latter part of the week, but on Tuesday evening of this week had a sinking spell and gradually failed, although there was another slight rally on Wed- nesday. It was shcrt, however, and he gradually failed, the end being peaceful. His family was with him from the time of his illness. As soon as the news of his death was learned here the flag on the court house was ordered at half mast and Mayor Lip- pitt’s own flag was also at half mast. The news of bis death was learned with profound regret although from the nature of his illness and his condi- tion it was not unexpected. On Thursday evening at 6.45 o'clock there was a prayer service at the home of his brother, which was conducted by Rev. H. A. BlaKe of the Congre- { ! HON. CALVIN L. HARWOOD. %auonal church at Stafford Springs. ‘he body was brought to this city on the boat train on the Central Ver- mont road, and the funeral arrange- ments will be completed today. Calvin I. Harwood, ex-mayor of Norwich, and senior member of the firm of Harwood, Bishop & Bidwell, one of the largest wholesale grocery houses. in this‘section, has been promi- nent in this town since early man- hood. and comes from a family which has been established in New England from its earliest history. The name Harwood was well represented in all the early English settlements in Am- erica, several settling in Virginia as early as 1621. Calvin L. Harwood was descended from Henry Harwood, who came to this country with Governor Winthrop in . 1630, settling in Boston. He was born in Stafford. Conn., June 24, 1844, the son of Francis A. and Clarissa Lu- ther Harwood. He received his pri- mary education in the public schools of his native town and later attended the academies in East Greenwich, R. I. and Wilbraham, Mass. At the age of twenty-four he came to Norwich and after serving as bookkeeper for the wholesale boot and shoe house of G. A, Jones, Jr.)\ for two years, engaged in the wholesdle grocery business. first with Hammond & Co., then becoming the junior member of the firm of Lip- pitt & Harwood. After ten years of successful business this firm was dis- solved, to be immediately succeeded by that of Harwood & Co. Twelve years later, January 1, 1893 the firm was again changed, taking the present style of Harwood, Bishop & Bidwell. Mr. Harwood has from the outset dem- onstrated his eminent fitness for a business career, and his success is the most practical evidence of his efficien- cy and ability, His standing has been won by the fairest methods and his position is therefore unquestioned, for the greater part of his active life has been passed in this community. Ex-Mayor Harwood ‘was a staunch republican, and in 1891 he was elected alderman; during his term he served as chairman of the committee on pub- lie ground= . Tn 1893 he was elected mayor of the city, overcoming a demo- cratic majority and receiving a grati- fying plurality. In 1895 he was re- elected for a second term, serving four vears in all. He gavg the city a good, business- like administration. in keeping ith his personal characteristi and in- creasing the esteem in which his fel- low citizens held him. His adminis- tration is looked upon as a model of business conduct, He was elected a trustee of the Nor- wich Savings society and also a direc- tor, having held the latter office over 15 years. In March, 1910, he was elected a vice president. being the third vice president to pass away within a month. He has been a director of the Merchants Natienal bank a number of years. Mr. Harwood was a member of the first board of trustees of the Nerwich state hospital for the insane. In the original planning of this work he took a deep interest, His counsel was al- ways timely and practical and as a member of the finance committee he gave freely of his time and strength. He was elected a trustee of the In- dustrial School for Girls at Middle- town, succeeding the late L. A. Gal- lup. - Some years since he served as president of the Southern New Engz- land Wholesale Grocers’ association. He was treasurer of the Norwich, Col- chester & Hartford Traction Co. Mr. Harwood was a thirty-second degree Mason, belng a member -of St. James’ lodge. No. 23 F. and A. M, and all the local Masonic bodies, as well as Sphinx temple, Mystic Shrine, of Hartford. He was also a member of the Masonic Temple corporations, and belonged to the United Workmen. Mayor Harwood united with the for- mer East Main Street M. E. church. He taught a class in the Sunday school and served as treasurer of the church. ‘When the Methodist churches were consolidated and Trinity M. E. church organized he transferred his member- ship to it. He has been a trustee and member of the finance committee since its organization and was a member of the building committee of the chureh. On September 26, 1865, he married Ellen A. 'White of Hinsdale, N. Y. Of their four children, two survive bhim: Mrs. Clara Harwood Dolbeare, and Francis C. Harwood. There two grandsons. Harwood Dolbeare and Percival Harwood. He also leaves g brother, Charles F. of Stafford Springs A man of the highest intergrity Mr. Harwood gained the respect and es- teem of all with whom he came in contact during his long business ca- Teer, was a man of kindliest wich an hour and five minutes late. disposition, ever thoughtful of others in small things as well as great. The affectionate regard in which he was held by a large circle is fcularly attested by the sincere tributes paid him by business competitors and his employes. He had the rare faculty of being able to grasp the essential facts of an intricate or obscure proposition and clarity of expression made him of great service to the numerous in- terests with which he was identified. To his family his loss Is irreparable, and the community loses a citizen of a type none too common. C. F. Paul Hoffman. Despite reports that C. F. Paul Hoffman was showing improvement, in the climate at Aiken, S. C., his death occurred in that place at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the information being received here by tel- egram early in the afterncon. Mr. Hoffman had not been enjoying good health for the past year or two, al- though it was improved by a trip to Mexico and southern California a vear ago. He returned to his duties as court stenographer last fell and there was a long and hard run of cases, so that he was well worked out before the Christmas vacation. He made an he- roic fight but soon after Christmas he left for Aiken, where he has since been. A few weeks ago his wife joined him and was with him at his death, which was heard here with sincere sorrow. . F. Paul Hoffman was born in Germany July 28 1864, the oldest son of Mr, and Mrs. Carl August Theodore Hoffman. Coming to this country, his family located at Rockville, Conn., where they have since resided. The elder Hoffman died when C. F. Paul Hoffman was guite a young man and upon him fell the duties of caring for the large family, a duty which he has well and faithfully performed. He took up stenography, in which he be- came very proficient, having gone to Hartford from Rockville and later went to New York. Returning to Hart- ford he was stenographer for the Trav- elers Insurance company and also did some court work there. He was made official court stenogra- pher for New London and Tolland counties and has given strict atten- tion to his duties, the volume of court business showing a great increase since he first took it up. He applied himself closely to his work and by came an expert, continuing h work until a few months before his death, applying himself to it with his usual persistency and energy. Before he moved to this city he at one time used to ride here on his bicycle from Rockville, having been an enthusias- tic wheelman. For nearly twenty years he has been the stenographer for the superior and common pleas courts in this county and through his efforts the other children of his family have been given the bénefits of advanced education, In the interest of his health he had slept out of doors in a tent for the past two years under pine trees at his home in Rockwell street. He was a dog fancler and had a large number of beagle hounds, several be- ing very valuable, As court stenographer this hours were long, for after the court sessions he often worked well into the night, transcribing his notes, He brought about many improvements in the work and had equipped his office with pho- nographs, which took his dictations, and the typists copled from the rec- ords. He was a speedy and accurate stenographer, having been able to take 200 words a minute. Seventeen years ago in June Mr. Hoffman was married to Miss Frances Denison of Hartford, the ceremony be- ing performed in the Asylum Avenue Baptist church in that city. They re- sided in Hartford a few years and about ten years ago moved to this eity, where they have since made their home. Mr. Hoffman was a member of the Congregational church at Rock- ville. He possessed a bright and cheery disposition, had a cordial greeting and sympathetic nature. His interests were centered in his home and his work, and he applied himself to the latter indefatigably. He was well informed upon current topies and took a deep interest in the study of nature. He was a true friend and one whose friendship was sought He belonged to no organization, His loss is a se- vere one and the sympathy of the community is with the family. Nor- wich loses a citizen of high rank. Besides his wife, he leaves four children, Pauline, Carl, Denison and Frances Hoffman of this city. He is survived by his mother, who lives in Rockville, three brothers, Gustav of Rockville, Theodore and George of New York, and four sisters, Miss Mar- tha Hoffman, who lives at home, Mrs. Herman of Hartford, Mrs. Lang of Vew Britain and one in Seattle.
