Louis Christopher Fischer, ’56, died at his home in Baltimore, Md., Wednes- day, Nov. 29, of Bright’s disease. Mr. Fischer had been sick for about a year, but lately there seemed to be hopes of his recovery. Quite recently his malady took a more serious turn, ending fatally. Mr. Fischer was born in Baltimore, Md., Aug. 13, 1834 and entered Yale from St. Mary’s College with the Class of Fifty-Six, in Sophomore year. After graduation he pursued a course of read- ing for two years and in 1859 began the practice of law, having been admitted to the Maryland bar. Since 1883 Mr. Fischer has been Secretary and Treas- urer of the Baltimore Trust and Deposit Co. During his whole life Mr. Fischer has been a strong Yale worker and three or four years ago was very active in organizing the Yale Alumni Association of Maryland. In 1866 he married Miss Annie Franklin Gill, who died in 1877. Mr. Fischer is survived by four children, two sons and two daughters. ‘WILLIAM A. MAGILL, ’58. William Alexander Magill, 758, died of heart failure, at his home on South Pleasant street, Ambherst, Mass., at about 12 o'clock noon, Wednesday, November 22. He had been subject to heart trouble but as he had been in good health up to the last moment, his death was unexpected by his family. William A. Magill was born in Bryan County, Georgia, January 2, 1836, the only son of Rev. Dr. Seagrove W. Magill and Helen Twining Magill. Pre- paring for Yale in New Haven at the Hopkins Grammar School, he entered the Class of Fifty-Six, but was forced to leave in the Fall of 1853, on account of an attack of inflammatory rheuma- tism. He spent the time until he could re-enter college in May, 1885, with the Class of Fifty-Eight, by working as a clerk in a bookstore and as an assist- ant in the High School, in Waterbury, Conn. | | While in College Mr. Magill invented the process by which inflammable sub- stances lighter than the sperm oil then in use, could be burned in the “German student lamp.” After graduation he adopted the profession of Teaching, which he successfully -racticed during the greater part of his life. He became head of educational institutions at Mid- dlebury, Conn.; at Westerly, R. I.; at Old Lyme, Conn.; and at Wethersfield, Conn. Two years after his marriage in 1860 to Miss Matilda Smith, a graduate of Mount Holyoke Seminary, he enlisted as a private in the Twenty-fifth Con- necticut Infantry, and won promotion as sergeant and hospital steward.
