YALE OBITUARIES.
WILLIAM LAMSON HINMAN, 753.
“William L. Hinman, Class of 1853,
died at Hartford, April 16. Mr. Hin-
man was the son of Chief Justice Joel
Hinman. He was born. at Waterbury,
1833. As a scholar at the Hopkins
Grammar School he was close to the
top. In college he was one of the fore-
most classical scholars in the Class and
ranked only behind Bromley as a wit.
In college he was a man of physical
beauty, and a favorite companion. He
studied law, but never engaged in ac-
tive practice. He took to a farm and
in connection with the late Prof.
Shepard paid attention to the develop-
ment of local mineral properties. In
1860 he represented Cheshire in the
Connecticut House of Representatives,
and was Judge of Probate for the Ches-
hire District in 1863-4. He had little
ambition, and his modesty was un-
bounded. He was a reader and student
through his life, but distrusted himself
too much to let his talents and ac-
quisitions be much known or felt in the
community. His few intimate friends
admired and loved him. The last Sun-
day afternoon of our College life Hin-
man and the writer lay on the ground
at the edge of East Rock and talked of
the future of the Class. “‘What of your-
self, Bill?’ ‘Well, I shall get into an
old shay and drive about the farm.”
He fulfilled his prophecy, but those of
us who knew him well have bidden him
goodbye with affection and esteem,
and regret that his charms and accom-
plishments were kept secret from so
many and disclosed to so few.

J. WALKER FEARN, ’5I.
J Walker Fearn died at Hot Springs,
Virginia, on Saturday, April 8, after a
lingering illness. The funeral was held
at Richmond, Va.
Mr. Fearn was born at Huntsville,
Alabama on January 13th, 1832. He
obtained his scholastic education in that
city and then came to Yale, where he
graduated with the Class of Fifty-One.
Upon leaving College he studied Law
and in 1853 was admitted to the bar at
Mobile. His ability secured for him
the appointment of Secretary of the
American Legation at Brussels, which
he held until, in 1856, he was appointed
to a similar position with the Mexican
*Legation. He remained in Mexico two
years.
Upon the outbreak of the Rebellion in
1861, he took sides with the Southerners
and was one of the Confederate Com-
missioners to the European Powers.
For some time after his return from
Europe Mr. Fearn was on the staff of
General Joseph B. Johnston, who then
had command in Virginia, but in 1863
he was again engaged in the Confed-
erate diplomatic service, first in Europe
with Colonel L. Q. C. Lamar, and then
in Mexico with General William Pres-
ton. From that time until the end of
the war he served as a Adjutant-General
of the Trans-Mississippi Department
under General Kirby Smith.
With the close of hostilities Colonel
Fearn returned to his law practice in
New Orleans, which he continued up to
the time of his election to the professor-
ship of French, Spanish and Italian in
the University of Louisiana. In 1884 he
gave up this position to go to Europe
as Commissioner of the New Orleans
Exposition. Mr. Fearn served as
United States Minister to Greece,
_Roumania and Servia during President
Cleveland’s first term of office and as
Judge of the International Court at
Cairo, Egypt, in his second adminis-
tration. At the time of the World’s
Fair in Chicago, Mr. Fearn was in
charge of the Foreign Bureau of the
Department of Promotion and Pub-
licity.
He was married to Miss Hewett,
daughter of James Hewett of Louis-
ville, Ky., in November, 1865.

pneumonia at the Waldorf-Astoria

Illinois, September 1, 1860, his parents
being James M. and Eliza M. Walker.

tensively engaged in the real estate
