Obituary. THOMAS WHITNEY WATERMAN, EX- 42. Thomas Whitney Waterman, who was a member of the Class of Forty-Two through Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years, died at his home in Bing- hamton, N. Y., on December 7th, of paralysis with which he had been ill for about ten years. : Mr. Waterman was born in Bing- hamton, N. Y., in 1821. After leaving Yale in 1841, he spent two years in Europe, and upon his return studied law. In 1848, he opened a law office in New York City, where he lived until 1861, when he was called to Bingham- ton by the ill health of his father. In 1850, Mr. Waterman was married to a daughter of Rev. Dr. Edward An- drews. His wife died in 1871, but he is survived by two daughters. Mr. Waterman was well known throughout the country as the author of many works on law, the most im- portant of which is his “Law of Cor- porations” which appeared in 1886. GEORGE CANNING HILL, 745. George Canning Hill, ’45, died on the 14th of November of heart disease, after a very few hours sickness, at the City Hospital in Boston, to which place he was carried from the street where he had fallen. He was born in Nor- wich, Conn., Feb. 10, 1825, and held a distinguished rank in his Class. He was also one of the editors of the Yale Literary Magazine. Hon. William Bin- ney of Providence is his only surviving associate-editor. Mr. Hill after gradu- ation spent a few years at the South as a teacher, and was admitted to the bar there. Later he was admitted to the bar at the North, but devoted his life efforts to literary, biographical and journalistic work. For more than forty _ years he was connected with the news- papers of Boston. For nearly twenty years he was with the Boston Post, and was its leading editor fifteen years. That paper speaks of him “as one of the best equipped writers on politics, and political and social economy,” and says that his death will be a loss to the circle of friends “who knew the rare beauty of his character as a man.” Funeral services were held on Mon- day following his death at the chapel of the Hospital, the Rev. Dr. Donald of Trinity Church officiating. Many ot his business associates and other friends were present. The Class of Forty-Five was represented by Sereno D. Nicker- son of Boston and C. C. Esty of Fram- ingham. Mr. Hill left no family. His wife died a few years ago. EDWARD OLMSTEAD, 745. Edward Olmstead of the Class of 1845 died at his home in Wilton, Conn. after an illness of four days. The following facts are taken from the Class of 1845 record printed after the semi-centennial reunion: Edward Olmstead, second son of Pro- fessor Hawley Olmstead and Harriet Smith Olmstead, daughter of Phineas Smith, Esq., of New Canaan, Conn., was born at Wilton, Conn., November 22, 1824. He fitted for College under the tuition of his father, partly at Wil- ton Academy and partly at the Hop- kins Grammar School, of which his father became rector in 1830. After graduation Professor Olmstead taught six months at Essex, Conn., then spent a year in the study of Hebrew and New Testament Greek at the Yale Theological Seminary. At the expira- tion of the year thus spent he became assistant to his father for two years, when he succeeded his father in the rectorship of the School in the Autumn of 1849. After four years and a half of service as rector, his health becom- ing impaired and needing a change, he in the Spring of 1855 removed to Wilton, Conn., where he purchased a small farm and re-opened the Wilton Academy, which his father had first established in 1817, He was married December 30, 1854, to Miss Marian Hyde, a native of Nor- wich, Conn., and a daughter of the late James Nevins Hyde, of New Orleans, ia. They have had ten children, four of whom died in infancy or early child- hood. Those surviving are Mrs.. Jane H. Merwin, Mrs. Josiah Gilbert, Miss Alice B., Marian H. and Chester R., of Wilton, ae Hawley Olmstead, of Chi- cago, Il From one end of the land to the other, © wherever men who demand the best are found, Fownes’ Gloves are the recognized They are standard of merit and fashion. best for dress, for the street, for riding, driving, or golfing — for all occasions and all purposes. rectly gloved. sell them.

Many pupils have been under his care, who remember him gratefully as their kind but through educator. But the discipline of the school room had de- prived him of none of the vivacity and geniality, so well remembered by his classmates as characteristics of him in College. And as for the warmth of his welcome to classmates they had only to test it to be assured that it had in “no wise abated since he gave them each on graduation dav lis parting hearty grasp, with unmistakable good wishes for their future. One year after the Class graduated he was chosen Class Secretary in place of O. T. Chester, resigned, which office -he held for nine years, during which he prepared the first Class record. At an early age he united with the Congregational Church in New Haven, and soon after his re- moval to Wilton was elected a deacon of the Congregational Church in that place, continuing in that office to the present time (1895), always ready and active in doing his share in the promo- tion of good. JUDGE JOHN WILLIAM SHOWALTER, ’67. Judge John William Showalter, ’67, of the United States Supreme Court, died in Chicago on December toth of pneumonia. Judge Showalter was born in Min- erva, Ky., on February 8th, 1844, and entered the Class of Sixty-Seven in the first term of Junior year. After gradua- tion he read law at his home in. Min- erva, Ky. and practiced there for some years. In 1882 he went to Chicago, ‘Ill. and practiced law there until Febru- ary, 1895, when he was appointed to the Federal bench by. President Cleveland. Judge Showalter was one of the most interesting figures on the bench in Chicago. He was striking in appear- ance and unusually well preserved for a man of his years. For many years he was a member of the firm of Abbott, Oliver and Showalter, and was con- sidered one of the best brief writers in the State. [Continued on ro6th page.] CHAS. ADAMS.
