Obituary.
SAMUEL G. BUCKINGHAM, 733.
Rev. Dr. Samuel G. Buckingham died
at his home in Springfield, Mass., July
12. He was born Nov. 18, 1812, and
graduated from Yale in 1833 and three
years later from the Yale Divinity
School. His first pastorate was the
Second Congregational Church in Mill-
bury, Mass., at which place he re-
mained ten years. From Millbury,
Dr. Buckingham went to what is now
the South Congregational Church at
Springfield, Mass., in 1847, succeeding
Rev. Noah Porter, who had accepted
a professorship in Yale College, and
remained there in active service until
the time of his death. For many years
Dr. Buckingham was a trustee of the
Williston Seminary at Easthampton,
Tiffany 8 Co.
Wedding Stationery
A wedding invitation or
marriage announcement is
indicative of good taste in
proportion to the intelligent
observance of its essential
details.
Messrs. Tiffany & Co.
offer their long experience
and the unequaled equip-
ment of their Stationery
Department to properly
execute orders of this
character.
Two weeks should be
allowed for engraving and
printing wedding invita-
tions.

UNION SQUARE
NEW YORK
and he served on the reconstruction and
building committees of the Theological |
Department of Yale.
His chief literary production was:
“The Life of William A. Buckingham,
the War Governor of Connecticut”—
his brother. Yale gave him the degree
of Doctor of Divinity in 1860.
The Springfield Republican says:
“It is the best beloved citizen of
Springfield, the oldest Christian minis-
ter in years of age or years of service,
the man whose presence, gradually
withdrawn, will yet be missed more
than that of scores of even well-known
men among us,—to whom we must
now bid farewell While he
never became a champion of the new
orthodoxy, he never antagonized it, and
the change came as mellowly and cor-
dially to his soul as dew to the grass or
the west wind to the heated earth. He
was of the school of the beloved dis-
ciple, to whom he was so often likened,
and his influence was thus that of the
lover, not of the hater, or even in any
degree of the disputant.”
ROBERT PALMER STANTON, 743.
Rev. Robert Palmer Stanton died at
his home in Norwich, Conn., after a
long illness. He was born in Belcher-
town, Mass., and entered Yale with the
Class of Forty-Three. After his gradu-
ation from the Academical Department
he took a course at the Yale Divinity
School, and from his graduation until
1880 was actively engaged in preaching,
principally in Connecticut. His last
pastorate was in Greenville, Conn.
where he remained from 1856 until 1880,
retiring in that year.
CHARLES SAMUEL WARD, 763 M.S.
Dr. Charles Samuel Ward died at his
home in Bridgeport, Conn., on July |
31st from a cerebral hemorrhage. Dr.
Ward was born in 1842, and graduated
from the Yale Medical School in the
Class of Sixty-Three. The same year
he entered the service of the country
as a medical cadet and served through-
out the remainder of the war, in that
capacity. After the war was over he
began the practice of his profession in
New York City, and at the time of his
retirement a few years ago held a very
large clientage. Since then he has
passed the greater part of his time in
Bridgeport.
Dr. Ward, himself coming from an
ancient line, took great interest in
genealogy and was for many years
National Secretary of the Society of
the Colonial Wars. He was active also
in the organization of the society known
as the Barons of Runnymede. He
leaves no family.
GEORGE TROWBRIDGE, 778.
Dr. George Trowbridge died sud-
denly of heart paralysis on Saturday
morning, Sept. 12th, at his residence
on West 47th street, New York. Dr.
Trowbridge was born in New Haven in
1855, and graduated from Yale in the
Class of Seventy-Eight. He entered
the .College of Physicians and: Sur-
geons of New York the next year, and
received his diploma from that institu-
tion in 1881, but practiced medicine only
a few years, giving it up to scientific
and literary research. The funeral was
held from the Brick Presbyterian
Church, Thirty-Seventh and Fifth ave-
nue, on Tuesday morning.
EDWARD WILSON JOHNSTONE, ’92 S.
Edward Wilson Johnstone was in-
stantly killed at the works of the United
Verdi Copper Co. at Jerome, Ariz.,
on July 23, by the collapse of the walls
of the assaying office in which Mr.
Johnstone
was working. He was
born in Connellsville, Pa. in 1872 and
prepared for Yale at Andover. After
- graduation from Yale in the Class of
Ninety-Two S. he went to Butte, Mont.,
where he had charge of the building of
a railroad and water works for a large
mining concern. In two years he
moved to Jerome, Ariz. and undertook
the construction of a railroad from
Jerome to Phoenix in the same state,
which he_ successfully carried out.
When the superintendency of the
United Verdi Copper Co. was offered |
him in 1897 he accepted it and remained
with that company until the time of
his sudden death.

Walter B. Smith, ’99, met Findlay S.
Douglas in the finals for the golf cham-
pionship of the United States on the

DEATH OF T. W. MILLER, 97.
[Continued from 3d page.]
Sheffield Scientific School, of Yale,
graduating in 1896. He was first em-
ployed by the Susquehanna Coal Co.,
but later became Secretary and Treas-
urer of the Hygiene Milk Co.
He was always passionately fond of
military life and in March, 1897, joined
as a private Co. D, oth Regt., then
National Guard of Pennsylvania. He
was elected Second Lieutenant of Co.
B, July 1, 1807, and on May 5, 1808,
while the 9th was at Mt. Gretna, he
was elected Captain of Co. B, oth Regt.,
Pennsylvania Volunteers.. In that office
he served up to the time of his death.
The same buoyant cheerfulness and
consideration that marked his social
relations in private life were character-
istic of him on the field. Not a day
passed but that he did not visit the sick
of his company and offer them all the
assistance and consolation at his com-
mand. While a strict disciplinarian and
thoroughly versed in the military man-
ual and code, he had the rare faculty
of maintaining a high standard of
efficiency and discipline without being
overbearing and dictatorial. He was
born with the military inclination and
only a few years ago was eager to join
the regular army and devote all of his
time to the service. but was dissuaded
from doing so by his parents. He was
descended from a patriotic and military
ancestry. Elijah Shoemaker, who was
killed in the Wyoming massacre, was
his Zreat-great-grandfather, as was also
Col. Nathan Denison, who was in the
same battle.
The funeral was held on Thursday,
Sept. 8th. Among the honorary pall
bearers were T. B. Ryman, ’97S. and
Dorrance Reynolds, Yale 1902.
