Xyris Turner Bates, 62, M.S., aged 59 years, died on January 2, 1899, in Poughkeepsie, New York. After he had received his medical degree in 1867, at the Albany Medical College, he studied in Europe for some time. On his return he settled in his native town, Lebanon Springs, New York, and prac- ticed there successfully for twenty years, part of the time being editor of the Journal of Materia Medica. In 1890, finding his health unequal to so laborious a life, he removed to Pough- keepsie and confined himself chiefly to office work. In 1894 he closed his of- fice and, except for consultation calls, devoted most of his time to writing, spending his Summers in the North and his Winters in the South. In 1875 he married Miss Emily A. Warren, who survives him, with their son. BENIAH WATSON, EX-’64. Beniah Watson, who was a member of the Class ex-’64, until the middle of his Junior year, died at his home in Dover, Deleware, January 6, 1899. He was Clerk. of the House of Representatives of Delaware in 1869; Collector of Internal Revenue in 1885 and was the United States Attorney for the District of Delaware in I8QI. CHARLES ANSEL WATROUS, ’84, Charles Ansel Watrous, "84, died at his apartments in New York on Jan- uary 20th, after an illness of only a week. Mr. Watrous was a son of George H. Watrous and Harriet, daughter of Governor Henry Dutton of Connecticut. His father, of the Class of Fifty-Three, was a successful lawyer in New Haven and for several years President of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. His family are well known in New Haven, among them a brother, Prof. George D, Watrous, ’79, and a sister, the wife of Mr: Edward ie Raynolds. Mr. Watrous prepared at the Hopkins Grammar School, and though one of the youngest of his Class, was at his graduation one of its best known and most popular members. He was also one of the editors of the Vale Record. After studying a year in the Yale Law School he went West, locating in Den- ver, where for some time he was en- gaged in newspaper work. In 1887 he returned to the East and took a posi- tion with the N. Y. Evening Sun, aiter- wards organizing and conducting with success the financial and stock market department of that paper. In 1892 a severe attack of typhoid fever com- pelled him to give up active work for a time, and he lived abroad for almost two years. Returning to New York he spent a short time in the business of investi- gating and advising investments until he entered the firm of Charles Fairchild & Co., with which he has since been connected, in a general banking and brokage business. For this business he was peculiarly fitted by ability and dis- position. Mr. Watrous was a member of the University Club in New York. He had attracted to himself a host of friends, and among the younger Yale men especially, his death will be keenly felt. ———__+e—_—_. The College Pulpit.
