He was also treasurer of six large benevolent and philanthropic societies in New Haven; was vice president of the Yale Na- tional bank and was a director of the Evergreen Cemetery association, New Haven, and in the latter capacity he designed the arch leading into the cemetery. His many friends gained by his wide and active career deeply mourn his loss and offer their heart- felt condolence to his bereaved fam- ly.
