until his removal to Lawrence, Kan.
He remained in this place for twenty-
three years, during which time his
work was mostly miscellaneous writ-
ing for the “Church Union,” studying,
lecturing and preaching. His taste
for botany led to a careful study of
this subject and to his appointment
in 1868, of State Botanist of Kansas,
which position he held until 1892. For
some years Prof. Carruth has been
recognized as the highest authority
on the flora of Kansas.
COLONEL WILLIAM NORRIS, 740.
Col. William Norris died at his
home, “Brookland,” in Baltimore
County, Maryland, on Tuesday, Dec.
29. His death was due to a stroke
of apoplexy, and he was apparently
in perfect health up to the time of his
very sudden attack. :
Colonel Norris was born in Balti-
more, December 6, 1820, and entered
Yale with the class of °40. After his
eraduation he went to New Orleans
and practiced law. He afterwards
went to San Francisco and continued
his law practice, but he caught the
gold fever in ’49 and spent some time
among the gold fields. He was soon
afterwards appointed Judge Advo-
acte of the North Pacific Squadron
of the United States Navy. In 1861,
while Judge Advocate, he visited Val-
pariaso, Chili, and while there he met
and married Miss Ellen Lisie Hob-
son, daughter of Mr. George G. Hob-
the American Consul at that
son,
point. Colonel Norris fought in ttre
war on the Confederate side, and
was one of the best known officers in
that army. At the close of the war
he was offered a high position in the
Beyptian army, but declined the com-
mission. He retired to his ancestral
house, “Brookland,” near Reisters-
town, Baltimore County, where he
remained until his death. He was one
of the most respected citizens of the
community.
Mrs. Norris and four children, Miss
S. F. Norris, Miss Sarita Norris, Mr.
Jefferson Norris and Mr. W. Caterby
Norris survive him.
JAMES HEDDEN TRUMBULL, °48.
Dr. James H. Trumbull, ’48, died
November 12, 1896, at Iquique, South
America.
Dr. Trumbull was born in March,
1828, in Elizabethtown, N. J., and was
the son of John M. Trumbull, who
was a student at Yale, but did not
graduate. He entered the Sophomore
class in September, 1845, and graduated
in 1848. After graduating Dr. Trum-
bull studied medicine in the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, New
York City, and was assistant physi-
cian in the Orphan Asylum, Randall’s
Island, New York, from 1849 to 1852.
In 1852 he went to Valpariso, Chile,
and began the practice of medicine.
A short time after Dr. Trumbull re-
moved to Talcahuano, Chili, where he
married Miss Eulogia, daughter of
Richard Lindsay, in June, 1859.
He had foursons! and one daughter,
Richard L., John Heyward, Albert,
Lincoln, and Harriet Eliza. Richard
L. and John H. were graduates of the
Sheffield Scientific School, class of
1881, and Richard was distinguished as
the representative in this country of
the Congressional party during the
revolution in Chile five yearsago. His
brilliant speech at the Alumni dinner
here, is well remembered by all who
heard it and attracted attention
throughout the country.
Dr. Trumbull was a brother of Mrs.
George I. Brush and Miss Trumbull
of this city. He attained a high rank
in his profession, which he practiced
with great success in Taleahuano and
Concepcion, where he resided for more
than forty years.

Urited States Consul to Zurich, whose

nounced in the last issue of the

from Yale in 1860. After leaving Col-
lege he enlisted, like mahy other Yale
graduates of his time, in the Union

Germany at the place of the same
name as the book, between _ allied
armies of Italy, France, Great Britain,
Spain and Turkey, and the United
States, opposed to those of Germany,
Russia, and Austria. The book was in
the nature of a prophecy. It was
shortly after the publication of the
book that the Germans recognized the
strategic value of this place and put
extensive fortifications there. Mr.
Catlin also wrote a book of prophetic
nature called the ‘‘Presidential Cam-
paign of 1896.” This was in 1888.
He was recently elected a member
of the Military Order of the Loyal
Legion, but had not taken the oath
owing to ill health. He was also a
member of Farragut Post, No. 28, G.
A. R., and of Jopva Lodge, F. and A.
M. He served as President of the

was taken to Paterson for burial. Mr.
Catlin leaves a widow and two chil-
Jren, UWeorge L., and Mrs. Kate De-
Wolf.
Mr. Catlin was a life long Repub-

The Weekly is indebted to the class
secretary for a copy of a letter re-
ceived from Mr. Catlin previous to his
class reunion for 1895.
