Death of Daniel F. Secomb.
Last evening another of Concord's re- spected citizens passed to the other side. Daniel F. Secomb, the city librarian, was found dead upon the floor of his home on Liberty street. He had been in ill health for about three weeks. On the Friday be- fore Christmas he experienced a slight shock of paralysis, but quickly rallied from it. Although not feeling entirely well he attended to his duties as usual.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Mary G. Se- comb, his daughter, left him to call upon some friends. He was apparently as well as usual at that time. When she returned, shortly after 5 o'clock, she was horrified to find his lifeless body stretched upon the floor. A doctor was summoned, but the prostrate man was beyond human as- sistance. He had evidently felt a chill, and, rising to increase the fire in the stove, had gradually felt his strength failing and had let himself to the floor. The end was apparently painless.
Daniel Franklin Secomb was born in Amherst, this state, January 17, 1820, where he spent the early part of his life. He taught school several terms in his early life and also learned the carpenter's trade at North Chelmsford, Mass. Early in in 1848 heremoved to this city, and was employed for several years in the manu- facture of parlor organs and pianos, in company with the late Caleb Parker, and the Messrs. Dearborn. He held various ward offices in Ward Five, serving as alder- man in the years 1869 and 1870. and taking a leading position in the board, by reason of his thorough knowledge of the affairs of the city. He was librarian of the New Hampshire Historical society for several years, and until he became librarian of the city library, about 1881. His historical tastes made him an authority in all historical matters, and his memory of dates and events was remarkable. He devoted all his energies to the libraries of which he had charge, and served the public faithfully in all the positions he assumed. He wrote the history of Amherst, a valuable one, and prepared many historical papers for other needs.
Mr. Secomb was a most estimable man, and devoted friend. During his residence in this city he was a consistent meniber of the Unitarian church and society, and long held the office of deacon in the church. He will be greatly missed by the patrons of the public library where he has been in attendance almost daily for many years.
Mr. Secomb was twice married, first to Fanny C. Herrick on Dec. 11. 1850, and later to Mrs. Eliza A. Gordon on Feb. 28, 1860. The former died in 1859 and the latter a few years since. He is survived by a daughter, Miss Mary Grace Secomb. and a step daughter, Mrs. Samuel H. Bab- cock of Boston.
The announcement for the funeral has not yet been made.
