VALE ALUMNI WEEKLY 69 YALE OBITUARIES. [Continued from 67th page. EDWIN 0. STANARD, JR., 2. The WEeEExty has already contained the simple announcement of the death of Edwin O. Stanard, Jr., ’92, on Oct. 19, 1809. He died suddenly at Colorado Springs, Colorado, of pneumonia, after an illness of only four days. Edwin Obed Stanard, Jr., was born January 1, 1869, and was the son of Hon. and Mrs. Edwin O. Stanard of St. Louis, Mo. He fitted for College at Smith Academy, St. Louis, and entered Yale with the Class of Ninety-Two. He was a member of. H.®., A. K. E, and Scroll and Key societies, a member of the University Banjo Club during his Sophomore, Junior and Senior years, a delegate to the A. K. E. convention and President of the St. Louis Club. From entrance to graduation, Edwin Stanard was in the best sense a Yale man. He was clean cut, straightfor- ward, absolutely without ostentation, and was never a party to college nolitics or engaged in manoeuvering for personal advantage. He received, because they were due him, the best honors of college, and no one begrudged him his position. He was not only loved by his friends, but respected by every one. After graduation he entered business with the E. O. Stanard Milling Co., and in 1894, was elected Treasurer of the company. Shortly after that his health became impaired and after traveling con- siderably abroad, he settled at Colorado Springs, where he lived most of the time until his death. He was interested in mining property in the West, and also spent cortsiderable time each year in hunting big game in Colorado and Wyoming. He was a most successful sportsman and wrote one of the best articles published on the killing of big game in the Rocky Mountains, which appeared in Harper's Weekly during April, 1899. | H. The funeral services were held Octo- ber 21, at the house of Mr. Stanard’s father, ex-Governor E. O. Stanard, in St. Louis. The bearers were George H. Capen, 90; George C. Hitchcock, ’90, Wallace D. Simmons, ’90; A. C. Orrick, ’92; William Maffitt, 793; Logan Hay, ’93; Alfred H. Jones, ’93; Charles Skin- ker, 94; Harold M. Kauffman, ’97, and Monroe Horton. YALE NOHEES.

[From Woodward’s “ Insurance in Connecticut.’”] The /Etna escaped the fire of December 16th, 1835, in New York City—the first in the series of great American conflagrations—which destroyed property to the value of $15,000- 000, and bankrupted twenty-three out of twenty-six local insurance companies. It entered the city the following year, having for agent Augustus G. Hazard, afterwards the organizer and president of the Hazard Powder Company of Enfield. It was not so fortunate in the fire of 1845, which swept $6,000,000 of property from the business center of the metropolis, and cost the Aetna $115,000. When the news reached Hartford, Mr. Brace called together the directors and told them that the calamity would probably exhaust the entire resources of the company. Going to the fire-proof vault, he took out and laid on the table the stocks and bonds representing its investments. Little was said, each member waiting for some one else to take the initiative. At length the silence was broken by the question: “ Mr. Brace, what will you do?”’ “Do?” replied he. “Go to New York and pay the losses if it takes every dollar there,”’ pointing to the packages, “and my fortune besides.” “ Good, good,’’ responded the others. “ We will stand by you with our fortunes also.” So it had always been with the tna in every crisis which it had before faced. The same spirit had carried this famous Company through where others had gone to the wall, This was the last close call for the AEtna. To-day with its cash capital of $4,000,000, a net surplus of nearly $5,000,000, and a system built on the priceless experience of eighty years, it is hardly possible to conceive of its having a close call.
