Hoys- radt, who was the manager of the Iron Works at Hudson, from their inception, and in 1886-87, was State Senator for the counties of Columbia, Dutchess and Putnam. Albert Hoysradt was prepared for College in the High School of his native city, and at Williston Seminary. * He was very popular in his Class. A severe attack of typhoid fever in his Senior year prevented him from taking high honors. Ten days after graduation he was married to Miss Alice Gifford of Hud- son, N After admission to the bar, he formed a partnership with Hon. John Cadman, ex-County Judge. He was soon nominated by the Republi- cans for County Judge, notwithstand- ing his youth, and came near being elected. In 1879, and again in 1881, he was elected as Recorder of the City an office which includes the duties of law adviser to the City Council, and its presiding officer. In 1883, Gen. Joseph ‘B. Carr, then Secretary of State, appointed Mr. Hoysradt Judge Ad- vocate of the Fifth Brigade, N. G.,, S. N. Y., with the rank of Major. The death of his father, Nov. 15, 1890, threw upon him the difficult duty of executor to an extensive and intricate business, which labor, added to his arduous work in his profession, over- taxed his powers, and the first symp- toms of brain trouble developed them-. selves. Very gradually paresis be- came evident, and he was finally obliged to give up his profession. For more than a year, he has been confined to his house. At last, death brought a relief to his sufferings, | Albert Hoysradt leaves a widow and four children, three daughters and a son, class at Yale. HARRY E. PRATT, 90. Harry.
