It would be impossible to exaggerate the deep and heartfelt sorrow that pervaded the community upon this most tragie occurrence. The chance of the loss of a human life by an accident so extraordinary, by a concatenation of circumstances so remarkable, would seem to be almost infinitesimal; yet here its actual occurrence had cut short a life and business career, replete with every promise of earthly happiness, useful- ness, and success. So bright in mind, so pure in spirit. so manly in form and presence, so genial in disposition, so exalted in principle, so earnest and efficient in every good work, so kind, and just, and generous to all with whom he was associated, he seemed to lack no quality to fill the rounded life of a useful, beloved, and respected citizen. But he was most blessed of all, in the domestic relations of husband, father, and brother in a loving family. He was always an active Christian, as enthusiastic in church work as he was in business, and in manly out-door field sports,

in which he had a national reputation for a judgment as impartial as it was excellent.
The most remarkable feature in the character of Fowler Stoddard was his versatility. One seldom meets with such superior capabilities, bringing a person in contact with so many different phases of human life. In church, in society, in business, and the world of field sports, his excellencies of character were alike displayed and their superior in- fluence recognized. His mental faculties were well trained. He pos- sessed a great power of concentration with a large degree of enthusiasm in whatever he undertook. Ile was remarkably quick in his perceptions, and rapid, though not unsafe, in arriving at his conclusions. His recrea- tion from business took the form of an interest in field sports. In this, as in other lines, he especially excelled. He carried into it the same love of system and excellence which he displayed in his other occupations. Hle sought only the best methods. He became interested in improving the breed of hunting dogs, and soon acquired a reputation throughout the sporting world, unsurpassed by any, for correet and critical judg- ment. His personal efforts were highly appreciated by the very large number of amateur sportsmen in the United States, among whom he was regarded as an authority.
In business and in church work his efficiency and success were due to the same characteristics of thoroughuess, concentration, clear and rapid perceptions. He was quick to execute. His genial disposition, thorough politeness and generosity in his intercourse with those he re- garded as his friends attached them to him "with hooks of steel." In his intercourse with children, in which he had a long and pleasant ex- perience, his influence was wonderful, and who can tell how far-reaching and beneficial?
Mr. Stoddard was but forty-two years old at the time of his decease. ITe had been exceptionally successful in his business relations -- a success which was the achievement of merit, rather than the result of mere good fortune.
No large manufacturing establishment in the country was ever more fortunate in a general manager. Ilis intelligence, promptness, and straightforward dealing with the men under management commanded their instant respect. With the innate instinet of a gentleman, his inter- course with the employees was uniformly such as to inspire each of them with a sentiment of personal esteem-in many instances of affection. He was at once affable, kind, and firm, and scores of these men, who were assembled at the manufactory in the morning, when they first learned the sad intelligence of his death, gave free vent to their sorrow in tears.

HISTORY OF DAYTON.
No more touching tribute was ever paid to the memory of any man than was witnessed at his funeral, when several hundred of these plain unpretentious laboring men, whom he had daily greeted with friendly words, and who had long been performing their daily tasks under his supervision, following on foot his remains to the portals of their last resting place, stood with uncovered heads and tearful eyes " in the silent manliness of grief," to testify their appreciation of his worth and their affection for his memory.
It was in allusion to this that the Rev. Herbert J. Cook, the rector of the church of which Mr. Stoddard was so invaluable a member, most beautifully said in his memorial sermon: "The place of business and the presence of these men, who knew and loved him, tell what he was there. Where the law of love gets into a shop or factory, there can be no room for serious labor troubles. Mutual respect and regard on the part of "employer and employee as in the present case, clearly show that the New Testament rule of gold is still the golden rule, and is able to heal all breaches. No, dear people, you cannot hide, or inclose, or monopolize a great and magnanimous life. It belongs to bim mainly by the best of titles, for to it all true men are next of kin!"
When the dying Sir Philip Sidney passed the untasted cup of water from his own famishing lips to the wounded soldier near him, saying, " Drink, comrade; thou hast greater need than I," he but displayed that chivalrous spirit of the kinship of humanity, which is ever characteristic of the true and brave Christian gentleman. It can be shown as well in the ordinary walks of life as upon the stricken field of battle. Sir Philip Sidney himself was no truer Christian gentleman than was E. Fowler Stoddard. The name and memory of such a man deserves to be treasured in the community in which his whole life was passed, with affectionate regard. In the undue exaltation of political, professional, and military honors, we are apt to withhold deserved recognition of the sterling virtues and worth of private American citizenship. Upon the faithful practice of these virtnes, the achievement of high individual, private character, thorough fidelity to all the duties of domestic and business life, is reared, after all, the superstructure of our prosperity, greatness, and felicity as a people.
Private American citizenship, characterized, as it is, by patriotism, intelligence, enterprise, diligence in business, fidelity to engagements, and adorned by those virtues which constitute the foundation of domestic happiness - it is this which rather deserves to be exalted and commended than the tinsel of official distinction too often attained by unworthy methods, or to gratify a vain and merely personal ambition.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
EDMOND S. Youse was among the ablest of the Dayton lawyers who came to the bar after 1840 and prior to 1860.
His sudden death occurred on the evening of February 14, 1888. Scarcely an hour before his decease, he was in attendance at a meeting of the Bar Association, in his usually apparent good health, and making one of his characteristic little talks, replete with humor and good sense. He walked home, in company with his two sons, and soon after entering the house, while seated and in usual conversation concerning the incidents of the evening, was stricken with insensibility, and in a few moments ceased to breathe.
Mr. Young was of New England birth and parentage. He was a native of Lyme, New Hampshire, born on the 28th of February, 1827. His father, George Murray Young, a native of Litchfield, Connecticut, moved to Ohio with his family, prior to 1840, and settled in Newark, Licking County, where for many years he was a prominent and successful merchant. His mother, Sibel Green, was of a New Hampshire family.
E. S. Young attended college at Granville, and afterwards at Cinein- nati, graduating at Farmers' College; uow called Belmont, in 1845. About this time his father removed with his family to Dayton, where he lived a highly respected and honored citizen until his death, which occurred in the year 1878. After a brief term of service in the office of the clerk of the court of Montgomery County, Mr. Young commenced the study of law, and, after graduating at the Cincinnati law school, was admitted to the bar in 1858. In 1856, he married Miss Sarah B. Dechert, daughter of Elijah Dechert, a prominent lawyer of Reading, Pennsylvania, and granddaughter of Judge Robert Porter, of that State. She still survives him, together with two sons, George R and William HI. Young, and a daughter Mary. His sons, both lawyers, and of high promise at the bar, have succeeded to his law practice. Among the obituary notices of the deceased members of the American Bar Association, of which Mr. Young was a member, for the year 1888, and published in its pro- ceedings for that year, is one of Mr. Young, from which we feel at liberty to make the following extract, as it is so excellently and truthfully deserip- tive of him:
"Mr. Young was a man of striking physical appearance and of marked mental characteristics. He was born to be a lawyer. His breadth of intellect, his strong determined will, his sound impartial judgment, his remarkable reasoning process, his gift of nice and correct discrimination, made up a mental organization distinctively legal. While at the same time his large and well proportioned bead, with its high expansive fore- head, set firmly on his broad square shoulders, gave him a personal ap- pearance in keeping with his mental characteristics."

HISTORY OF DAYTON.
Mr. Young came to the bar well equipped for the discharge of its duties and responsibilities. He was well grounded in elementary prin- ciples, had excellent business sense, good speaking talent, strong reasoning powers and unswerving integrity. He was besides painstaking, industri- ous, and faithful to his clients, and spared no labor in vigilant regard for their interests. IIe prepared his cases with great care, and tried them fairly and thoroughly. He was very systematic in his business methods. Incapable himself of any sort of trickery, he despised it in others, and whenever he thought the occasion justified, denounced it with unsparing vehemence. There was nothing cynical or bitter in his disposition. He was incapable of harboring resentment. No appeal was ever made in vain to his generosity or forgiveness. With such qualities as a lawyer and a man, it is not surprising that Mr. Young should have attained the large practice he enjoyed and the high consideration conceded to him as a citizen at the time of his decease. His brethren of the Dayton bar cheerfully and unanimously testified their high appreciation of his char- acter and abilities by joining in a recommendation to the governor of the State for his appointment to the supreme bench of Ohio, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Johnson.
Mr. Young was a firm supporter of Lincoln's administration during the war, was a member of the local military committee, and commissioner of the draft. Although affiliating generally with the Republican party, such was his repugnance to political methods that he uniformly refrained from allowing himself to be presented as a candidate for office. He was too faithful to his personal convictions, too independent and honest in their expression, to be adapted to a successful political career. He was nevertheless thoroughly patriotic and public-spirited, but his ambition was solely that of a lawyer. For his many companionable qualities, his fond- ness for social conversation, anecdote, and personal reminiscences, he was highly esteemed by his professional brethren and a large circle of general society. Ile heartily cooperated in whatever tended to advance the tone and usefulness of his profession. "He was preeminently a family man, and found in his own home circle bis greatest source of pleasure and enjoyment. In his unselfish devotion to his wife and children, and his constant solicitude for their welfare, no one ever surpassed him."
Such in brief was Edmond Stafford Young. The obituary notice, to which allusion has been made, closes with the following paragraph, as beautiful as it is truthful:
"Ile was a strong and pure type of that class of American lawyers who, eschewing outside schemes for the promotion of wealth or personal aggrandizement, devote to their profession the full measure of their powers and seek happiness in the conscientious discharge of their pro- fessional, domestic, and eivie duties."
