10 May 1920 |
Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York [9] |
- Charles Mabie Crouse died at his home, 416 West Genesee street, shortly after 8 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Crouse suffered an attack of heart failure early Friday morning and since then his condition had been considered critical. He awoke a little before 8 o'clock and almost immediately lapsed into unconsciousness. Ten minutes later he was dead.
With him when he died was his wife, and the nurse who has been in attendance since he was stricken. His physician, Dr. Charles D. Post, who was hurredly summoned when Mr. Crouse's condition was observed to have changed, arrived a few minutes later.
Mr. Crouse would have been 62 years old had he lived until June 15. He was the son of Jacob Crouse and Eliza (Mabie) Crouse. He was born in Canastota where his early boyhood was spent, coming to Syracuse when a very young man.
On June 1, 1882, two years after he had been graduated from Yale university, he was married to Eliza Leach, daughter of the late Thomas Jefferson Leach, who survives him. He is survived also by three daughters, Miss Margaret Crouse, Mrs. Dwight J. Baum of New York and Mrs. Jerome Dewitt Barnum of this city. One sister, Mrs. Frank J. Maynard of New York and four grandchildren, John Crouse Baum and Dwight J. Baum, jr., Jerome D. Barnum, jr., and Theron Crouse Barnum, the latter being born on the day his grandfather was stricken. One nephew, M. Crouse Klock, is another surviving relative.
He was a director of the First National Bank and later when the First Trust & Deposit Company and the First National were merged, he became a director in that banking institution. He was director of the Onondaga Pottery company, of the Syracuse Journal Publishing company, president of the Quaint Art Furniture company, a trustee of the Young Men's Christian association and a member of the Citizens, the Century and the Onondaga Country clubs. He was also a member of the Book and Snake of Yale university.
His summer home was at Homer where he owned the old David Harum farm, the place where the famous book of that title was written. He was also owner of other extensive farming interests throughout New York state and interested extensively in mining industries in the West.
His father was one of the founders of the Crouse grocery business in Syracuse, which Mr. Crouse took up when he was ready to enter upon his business career. His family formerly occupied the old Mabie homestead in South Warren street, the spot where the Herald building now stands.
He was a man of numerous philanthropies, though of these he allowed but little to be known, so modest and retiring was his nature.
The funeral will be from his late home in West Genesee street at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. Edmund A. Barnham of the Plymouth Congregational church, where Mr. Crouse had been a communicant for years, will read the service. Burial will be made in the family plot at Oakwood cemetery.
