“TIT AT TIAN WEEKLY 285 YALE OBITUARIES. [Continued from page 284.] A letter written by Mayo in 1892, for the fortieth anniversary of his gradua- tion, from which most of his war his- tory is taken, closes thus: “Although I fought on the side of the South, I yield to no man in my attachment to our common country, and I fervently thank our Heavenly Father for the failure of the cause which, as a Virginian, I so earnestly espoused; for I now firmly believe its success would have been at- tended with the most deporable results.” After the war he engaged in business at Richmond. In 1888 he was appointed a clerk in the State Department at Washington, and was soon promoted to be translator. He is reported to have been able to read and write eleven lan- guages, viz.: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Greek, Latin and Hebrew, and to have spoken with fluency the Continental languages. In June, 1895, at sixty-one years of age, he finished a three years course at the Columbia Uni- versity Law School, and was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. In 1870 Mr. Mayo married Ellen, daughter of Gen. Henry A. Wise, ex- Governor of Virginia, who, with a son and four daughters, survives him. The son, Henry Wise Mayo, graduated at the Law Department of the University of Virginia, and is now a member of the bar of New York City. FRANK HENRY HOOKER, ’64. Frank Henry Hooker, ’64, died. sud- denly of apoplexy Saturday morning, April 14, at his home in New Haven. He had retired to his room Friday night, in apparently perfect health, having just completed arrangements for a trip to California with several friends. When he did not appear at breakfast his son went to his room and found him dead. Mr. Hooker was born in New Haven, Jan. 11, 1843, and prepared for College at Hopkins Grammar School. After graduation he went to St. Louis, Mo., where he was in business for a time, but in 1873 returned to New Haven to be- come Treasurer of the Henry Hooker Company. He held this position at the time of his death and was besides a Director in the National Tradesmen’s Bank, in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, the United Illuminating Com- pany, Treasurer of the Hygeia Ice Com- pany, a Trustee of the New Haven Say- ings Bank and a Vestryman in Trinity Church. He was a member of the Quin- nipiac, Country and Ansantawae Clubs and while in College was in Linonia, the Varuna Boat Club and D.K.E. Mr. Hooker was married to Miss Grace Russell, who died several years ago. Three children are living, Clar- ence R., Elizabeth R. and Donald R. The latter graduated from the Academic Department of Yale in 1809. iy ee ig a Bape Fs S. B. S.

When the Spanish War began he was appointed and warranted First Sergeant, Company L, 65th Regiment, New York Volunteers, and mustered into the service of the United States, as such, May 17. He did not get an opportunity to go the the front, however, and when he was mus- — tered out, Nov. 19, 1808, he at once re-enlisted with the 43d United States Volunteers and went to the Philippines. He was a Corporal in the service at the time of his death. ARTHUR WAYLAND LOVELL, EX-’99.

He entered Yale with the Class of Ninety-Nine, but on account of fail- ing health did not finish his course, leaving in his Senior year to try the less severe climate of Southern California. His health grew steadily worse, however, and a severe cold which he had con- tracted hastened the end.
