YALE OBITUARIES.
DR. CHARLES JANEWAY STILLE, 730.
Dr. Charles Janeway Stille, ’39, died
August 11, at Atlantic City, where he
had been some time for his health. He
had not been well for several months.
A slight attack of heart disease came a
short time before his death, and from
that time on his strength failed rapidly.
Dr. Stille was born in Philadelphia,
September 23, 1819. After graduating
from Yale,. where he took a high rank
in scholarship and particularly in litera-
ture, he devoted several years to the
special study of literature and language.
In 1866 he was elected Professor of Eng-
lish in the University of Pennsylvania;
in 1868 he was elected Provost of the
~ University and held that position until
1880, when he expressed a desire to be
relieved of his duties. He retained a
professorship of History and English for
a year after he retired from the position
at the head of the University. The
Philadelphia Press, commenting on his
death, said: “During his administration
the influence of the University as a cen-
ter of learning was greatly extended; its
material resources greatly augmented,
and the student body very sensibly in-
creased in numbers. Measured by the
work accomplished during this interest-
ing period of its history, the constitu-
-ency of the great institution have every
reason to hold Dr. Stille in grateful re-
-membrance.”
In 1846, Dr. Stille was married to
Miss Anna Dulles, daughter of Joseph
H. Dulles of Philadelphia.
Dr. Stille wrote much on the Civil
War and the development of American
civilization. During the war he was a
member of the United States Sanitary
~Commission.
His bequest to the Uni-
versity is noted elsewhere.
HON. GEORGE S. WHITE, 748.
The news has been recently received
' of the death, last month, of the Honora-
ble George S. White. Mr. White -was
born at Quincy, Mass., Nov. 9, 1821, and,
after graduation at Yale, studied law at
Cambridge at the Cambridge Law
School. In 1851 he was admitted to the
bar of Massachusetts, and practiced until
1858, when he was appointed judge of
the Probate Court of Insolvency of
Norfolk County, Mass. This office he
held until his death.
Mr. White was married Nov. 28, 1864,
to Frances Mary E. Noyes of Boston.
His oldest son, George Rantoul White,
is a graduate of Harvard College and
Instructor in Chemistry at . Phillips-
Exeter Academy. His second son is
Edward Noyes White. His only daugh-
ter, Mary Hawthorne, is a graduate of
Radcliffe and married Clarence Alfred
Bunker, a Boston lawyer and Harvard
eraduate.
HENRY CLAY HALLOWELL, 752. .
Henry Clay Hallowell, ’52, died at his
home, Rockland, Sandy Spring, Md.,
Aug. 11. Mr. Hallowell had nat been in
the best of health for some years and
indeed had been obliged to take particu-
lar care of himself in this respect for
most of his life. He sent word on the
occasion of the last Class reunion in
1897, that his health would not permit
him to attend.
Mr. Hallowell was the son of Benja-
imn Hallowell and was born at Alexan-
dria, Va., June 16, 1829. He entered
his class at Yale in the Sophomore year.
After graduation, he®joined his father
and his classmate, Francis Miller, in |
conducting a Scientific School at Alexan-
dria. In 1855, he went abroad for his
health, staying eight months. On_ his
return, he moved to Sandy Spring, Md.,
‘and has lived there ever since at his
home, Rockland. For a large number
of years, he followed agricultural pur-
suits, taking a very active interest in all
the affairs of that part of the country,
lecturing frequently on scientific and
other topics. In 1878, he opened a girls’
school, which he conducted with success
for a number of years. About ten years
ago, he had.a severe attack of malarial
fever, which left him too weak to con-
tinue his work. Among his other public
positions in Montgomery County, Mr.
Hallowell was President of the Board of
Health.
In July, 1857, he married Sarah Miller,
sister of Francis Miller, his classmate.
The latter had previously married a
sister of Mr. Hallowell. Mr. Hallowell
left a wife and seven children:
M. Hallowell, Robert M. Hallowell, J.

son of George R. Hendrickson. He
spent his first Winter after graduation

JAMES KING HILL, 754.
James K. Hill died of heart disease
at Narragansett Pier, where he was
temporarily staying, on September 5th,
1899.
Mr. Hill was the son of Nathaniel P.
and Matilda (Carrford) Hill and was
born in Montgomery, Orange County,
N. Y., June 22, 1832. He prepared for
College at East Hampton, Mass., and
entered Yale in 1850. He was promi-
nent in his Class, and was first President
of Linonia in his Senior year.
After graduation, he spent a few
months in teaching at Sag Harbor, N.
Y., and then entered Harvard Law
School, where he remained until the
Summer of 1856, when he went to New
York City and entered the law office
of the well known firm of Brown, Hall
& Vanderpoel. In May, 1857, he was
admitted to the bar, and settled as a
lawyer in New York City. For thirty
years he kept steadily at work. Possess-
ing a clear brain, untiring energy and
indomitable perseverance, he achieved
success. In May, 1887, he withdrew
in part from his law practice and ever
after took life more easily. He lived
for over twenty years at the Windsor
~ Hotel, on Fifth avenue, and after. it was
burned, removed to _ the Waldort-
Astoria. Time dealt gently with him
and although he never married he was
far from unmindful of the charms of
social life. He passed the Summer of
1896 in Europe, and returned with the
promise of many years
before him. —
Providence designed otherwise and he
was the fourth of his class to pass away
during the present year.
BENJAMIN WILLIAM SCHWAB, EX-’88.
Benjamin William Schwab, ex-’88,
was instantly killed, while horseback
riding, in Van Cortlandt Park, New
York, early in the morning, Septem-
ber 21. Mr. Schwab was taking his
usual early ride. His horse was in
some way suddenly frightened and. got
beyond his control. He ran near a large
tree, and probably suddenly swerving,
threw his rider’s head with great force
against the trunk or one of the large
branches. Death was instantaneous.
Mr. Schwab was born in 1867, the
son of Gustav Schwab. He prepared
for Yale in New York City and took the
first two years with the Class of Eighty-
Eight. He then went into business with
the house of Oelrichs & Co. On March
I, 1899, he was admitted to the firm as
junior partner. He was in charge of
the importing department, his brother,
Gustav H., being the head of the steam-
ship business, that is, the North Ger-
man Lloyd line. One of Mr. Schwab’s
brothers was John C. Schwab, Yale ’86,
Professor of Economics at Yale.
The funeral was from St. James
‘Church, Fordham, at 2.30, September 23.
The engagement was announced last
Spring of Mr. Schwab to Miss Dana,
daughter of Mrs. James D. Dana, and
sister of Professor s:dward S. Dana of
the Yale Faculty. 3
EVERETT WINSLOW HOBART, 795.
Everett Winslow Hobart, ’95, lost his
life in a drowning accident at Traverse
City, Mich., Aug. 19. Mr. Hobart was
at Great Traverse Bay with the family
of his brother James. On that after-
noon he went in bathing with his eight-
year old nephew, Harold Hobart. In
some way, the child went beyond his
depth and Hobart went after him. He
reached him all right and started for the
shore, but was either seized with a cramp
or became exhausted, and before his
brother, who was on the beach, could
get to him, both he and the boy had
sunk for the last time. The bodies were
recovered in ten minutes, but efforts to
restore consciousness were in vain...
