YALE OBITUARIES.
LOUIS CHRISTOPHER FISCHER, ’56.
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. He
