YALE “ALUMNI Bae a «bis A Hr Obituary. ISRAEL HOPKINS HARRIS, 746. Israel Hopkins Harris, ’46, died at his home in Waynesville, Ohio, Oct. 17, 1897. He was the son of James Harris, a native of Vermont, and Re- becca Clark Jennings, a native of New Jersey. He entered the Class of Forty- Six at the beginning of Junior year. On graduation he succeeded to his father’s business of private banker at Waynesville, and was an honorable and successful business man. His _ tastes were scientific and he pursued the studies of geology, mineralogy, con- chology and anthropology with zeal and success. He is said to have had the finest private collections illustrating these sciences in America. They have mostly been presented to the Smithsonian In- stitute, with a provision that they should be kept separate under the name of “The I. H. Harris Collection.” The collection is especially remarkable for its cabinet of fresh water pearls. He was known as the father of pearl hunt- ing in the Miamis, and for many years purchased almost the entire product of the two Miamis. Some of these pearls, from their rare coloring, are unique and almost priceless. He married in 1848, Esther Ann, daughter of Jarvis Stokes, of Lytle, O., who died in 1849, leaving one child who survived her but six months. Three years later he married Caroline E. Bunnell, daughter of Merritt Bun- nell; she died in 1873. One daughter, Mrs. Laura Harris Mosher, is living Mr. Harris married for the third time, Edith, daughter of Nathan N. Mosher, in 1874, who survives him with one child, Minnie Mildred. The above facts are taken from an extended sketch published in the April 1898, number (Vol. I, No. 2), of the “Old Northwest” Genealogical Quar- terly, Columbus, O. HENRY C. CROUCH, 779. * Dr. Henry C. Crouch died on April 20, 1898, of consumption, brought on by the grip which he had in a severe form several years ago. Dr. Crouch was born in Galena, IIl., on March 11, 1858, and the following year his family removed to Kingston, N. Y., where they still reside. He pre- “oe pared for College at the Kingston Academy, and was admitted to the Class of Seventy-Nine at Yale. He grad- uated with his class in 1879, and shortly afterward took a position as teacher in the Kingston Academy, which position he retained until 1883. In 1882 he passed the necessary examinations, and received the degree of M.A. from Yale. In 1883 he went to Europe to study medicine, going first to Strasburg, and afterward to Berlin. His health soon began to fail, and, although he had not yet completed his studies, he decided to accept the position of United States consul at Milan, which was offered him by the Cleveland administration. While at Milan, pulmonary consumption de- veloped, and he was obliged to spend most of his time in the mountains. . His term as consul expired in 1890, and he then went to Giessen, where he passed the necessary examinations, and re- ceived the degree of M.D. from the University there, returning to Colorado in 1891. He commenced the practice of medicine at Colorado Springs, but in 1894 removed to Denver, and in 1895 was appointed bacteriologist for the Denver Board of Health. He con- tinued his practice, confining his atten- tion to diseases of the stomach. In June, 1895, he married Miss Maia Chap- man of Council Bluffs. In the Winter of that year he contracted’ the grip, which became chronic, and constant re- curring attacks so weakened him that consumption, from which he had par- tially recovered, made rapid progress, and he died April 2oth, 1898. He leaves a wife, but no children. While in Germany, he devoted a great deal of his attention to bacteriology, and his work upon the Denver Board of Health, particularly his methods of staining and photographing, received considerable attention from physicians. His sickness interfered very much with his work. ELLSWORTH DAGGET WHITING, 794. The death of Ellsworth Dagget Whit- ing occurred at Aurora, Ill., April 26th, after a severe attack of typhoid fever. After graduating at Yale, Mr. Whiting entered the Rush Medical College of Chicago, graduating last Spring. Dur- ing the course he was elected Editor- in-Chief of the College publication The Clinic, and graduated with highest honors, as a result of which he was chosen first interne at the Presbyterian Hospital.

His health, never robust, was somewhat broken by hard application in the professional school, and in con- sequence he did not rally from his ill- ness. During his career at Yale, he had the respect of the members of his class and his disposition won for him the love of all. The democracy, cordiality and scholarly characteristics, a rare combination in one man, gave splendid promise for the future and in his early death there is not onl~ a loss to Ninety- Four, but also to Yale. Mr. Whiting was born at Bellevue, Iowa, July 21st, 1869, and prepared for Yale at Beloit Academy. He entered Ninety-Three in the Fall of ’89, but was compelled to leave on account of sick- ness. In the Fall of ’92 he entered Ninety-Four. JAMES BARNETT GOODWILLIE, 794 S. The death of James Barnett Good- willie, from pneumonia, occurred at Columbus, O., on April 30. He was born in Cleveland, December 25, 1873, and was the son of Thomas Goodwillie, of the Standard Oil Co., and the grand- son of General and Mrs. James Bar- nett. He _ received his preliminary education at the University School, Cleveland and entered the Sheffield Scientific School with the Class of Ninety-Four. He was a member of Berzelius. After graduation at Yale, he studied for a year at the Case School — of Applied Science, Cleveland, and be- came a chemist for the Johnson Steel Works, at Lorain, O., where he re- mained about a year. An appointment was offered him as head chemist at the Buckeye Malleable Iron Co., of Columbus, which he accepted and held till his death.
