VAN BUREN, Evert
Death Of Judge Van Buren
From the Chicago Journal, February 12th: Judge Evert Van Buren, one of Chicago's oldest and best - known citizens, passed peacefully away this morning at nine o'clock at the residence of his son, Augustus Van Buren, Esq., No. 413 Washington Boulevard. He died of old age, without any well - defined malady whatever. His strength has been waning for years past, but became suddenly exhausted a few weeks ago while at work in his office. He was taken home in a carriage and went to bed, never to rise again. He grewweaker and weaker until this morning, when the end came.
Judge Van Buren was born in Kinderhook, Columbia County, N. Y., November 3, 1803. His father, Barnet Van Buren, was a politician of considerable note, who, some years later, represented his county in the New - York Assembly. His son, Evert, after receiving a common school education, entered a law office in Kinderhook and in the early part of 1827 was admitted to the New - York State bar. About the same time he married Miss Caroline Smith, daughter of Gen. Melancthon Smith, in Ghent, a town adjoining Kinderhook.In 1828 he removed to Penn Yan, and eight years later to Buffalo. While in the latter city he distinguished himself as counsel for the defense in the famous Rathburn forgery case. Mr. Van Buren had already made for himself a political reputation, and in 1830 had lost the nomination for State Senator from the Seventh District to William H. Seward by a majority of only one vote. He supported Martin Van Buren for the Presidency in 1836 as well as in 1840. In 1844 he stumped New - York State in the interest of JamesK. Polk. In 1848 he left Buffalo and returned to his former home in Penn Yan, which he left again for Chicago in April, 1856. In 1862 he was elected Judge of the Recorder's Court, the functions of which office he discharged faithfully for one term. At the breaking out of the Rebellion he was known as a strong War Democrat and supporter of Douglas. After retiring from the bench Judge Van Buren continued to practice till some seven weeks ago, when his many years and overwork compelled him to take to his bed. Hehas a wife and five children - James Van Buren and Augustus Van Buren of this city, Dr. Evert Van Buren of Nebraska, and Barnet and Frederick Van Buren, farmers in Champaign County, IL.

WHITNEY, Asa - Died in Chicago, Dec. 30, of typhoid pneumonia, Asa, 28, son of John Whitney of this city. Funeraltoday at 11 a.m. at the family residence.
The subject of this notice was the only son of John Whitney, and was born in Fulton county, in this state, June10, 1851. The family left the farm and came to Henry in the spring of 1859, and after residing in the city severalyears, removed to their farm adjoining the corporation, where they have since resided. Asa remained at home, workingthe farm with his father until about the time he was 21, when (March 18, 1872) he secured a situation the storeof Pool & Jones, and remained with that firm until January 20, 1875, when being offered a situation in oneof the departments of the establishment of Field, Leiter & Co., Chicago, accepted it and remained with thatfirm until his death which occurred on the 30th ultimo. The sickness which culminated in his death was of aboutthree weeks duration, commencing in a bilious attack, soon merging into typhoid pneumonia; and although he hadthe attendance of three of Chicago's skillful physicians, and the care which only an anxious mother and sisterknow how to bestow, besides numerous friends untiring in their attention and anxiety for his recovery; all werebaffled, and death secured him as its victim.
A few hours before his death, realizing that his end was near, he called his mother, sister and brother-in-law(J. L. Saxton) to his bedside, and with a happy smile, brightening up his face, kissed them good bye, and thennaming his many relatives in Henry by name, sent to each one the same message of remembrance and love. Then afterbidding the other faithful attendants and friends farewell, and expressing his willingness to die, and his hopeof entering a better world, he asked that his favorite hymn be sung: "Nearer My God to Thee, Nearer to Thee."himself joining in the singing. One who was present speaks of it as the most affecting scene he ever witnessed.
His body was incased in a beautiful casket and brought home to the family residence, from whence, on January 1st,it was taken to our cemetery, and laid beside his little sister Nellie, who had preceded him some eight years tothe "Home of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign." The remains were accompanied home by a formerroommate (Mr. Smith), himself also a clerk in the employ of Field, Leiter & Co., and the esteem in which thedeceased was held by his employers is shown by their paying the expenses of this representative of their house,whilst on the sad errand of burying his friend and their faithful clerk. .......... His funeral was largely attendedand a very appropriate discourse was preached by the Rev. J. J. Bunnell, pastor of the Presbyterian church of thiscity.

WILDER -- Class of 1851 - DAVID PARSONS WILDER was born 14 May, 1826, in the town of Worthington, Mass., the eighthof a family of nine children. When he was one year old, the family removed to Pittsfield, where he attended school,somewhat irregularly, till twelve years old, when he went to live with an uncle in Chesterfield, remaining therefor four years, working on his uncle's farm in the summer and attending school in the winter months. In February,1843, he engaged himself to a farmer in Suffield, Conn., by whom he was released at "Thanksgiving" time,and entered the Academy in that place, defraying his expenses, as before, by manual labor. At the age of eighteen,he obtained the position of teacher in one of the public schools in Suffield, and met with such success as to awakenthe desire to fit himself for teaching as a profession. In the spring of 1845, he accordingly entered the Academyat Easthampton, where he remained till the following November (with occasional intervals of farm work), when heassumed the charge of a school in West Suffield, which, though it had borne an evil reputation, was successfullyadministered by him. Here he formed the design of going to college, and returned to Easthampton Academy, where,and at Andover, he completed his preparatory studies. During his freshman year, he taught school in the town ofHarvard; in the sophomore and junior years, at Dedham; and in the senior year, at Dennis. The year after graduatinghe was elected professor of mathematics in the Newton University, at Baltimore. He received the degree of Masterof Arts in 1854, and entered the Dane Law School in the same year. In the autumn of the same year he went to Chicagoand began the practice of law, "without money and without friends," to use his own words; having, however,before his death, obtained a reasonable share of both.
He married, 1 January, 1857, Mary R., daughter of Clarke Partridge, of Medway, Mass., and leaves five children:the oldest and youngest sons; the others, daughters.
He died 26 March, 1872, at his residence in Winnetka, a small town some fifteen miles north of Chicago, of malignantjaundice, after an illness of a few days, leaving behind him an enviable reputation as a lawyer and as a man.

WILSON - MYSTERIOUS. A man named Wm. Wilson, aged about twenty years, disappeared from his home recently. Last Thursday a letter was received by the mother of Wilson, from a person who signs himself Chas. Sweet, and states that he murdered young Wilson in Chicago, to obtain possession of some three or four hundred dollars which he claimed he had in his possession.

WOODWORTH, H.P.
We briefly mentioned in our last, the death of Mr. H. P. Woodworth, of Chicago, at Hennepin on the 25th ult. We had heard of the event by a passenger on the Lucy Bertram, who could give us no particulars, except that Mr. W. had died of cholera. In the Lacon Gazette of Saturday, however, we have a full account of Mr. Woodworth's sickness and death, and we regret that the history exhibits the conduct of the officers and crew of one of our river boats in a light of inhuman cruelty and barbarity so revolting,that, as public journalists, we felt compelled to hold them up to public abhorrence. The Gazette make the following statement, which it says was mainly gathered from the dying man's own lips.
"Mr. Woodworth had been to Alton to assist in locating a plank road; where, on the evening on the 21st(19) ultimo, he went on board the steamer Gladiator, with the express condition that he was to reach LaSalle in time for the morning packet of the 23d. He was quite unwell when he embarked and was therefore anxious to reach his family in Chicago as soon as possible. His illness, attended by violent diarrhea, greatly increased as he neared Peru; and during the entire trip, until he was put on shore, no attentionwas paid to him, such as a sick man should receive from a civilized people. By the 23d he was confined to his room; and at various times, as we learn from a responsible source, he knocked at the door for water and other attentions, but in return received nothing from the boat but unkindness and rudeness. They first threatened to put him ashore at Hall's Landing if he did not stop thumping and disturbing the boat. He replied that he could not be attended to, as no person lived there, and urged themto take him to Peru, where he had friends and would be provided for.
But his appeals and the boat's promise were alike unheeded; and at Hennepin, about 4 p.m. of the 23d he was landed; where he reclined upon the bank until Major Waugh, of the Hennepin Hotel, took him in a buggy to his house. He at once observed that he was a very sick man, and sent for a physician, who was soon in attendance. After a brief examination he asked the major if he knew what the matter was; to which he replied negatively. The doctor then remarked that the patient was in the last stages of cholera– that there were five hundred chances to die where there was one to live; and advised the landlord to remove him, if a building could be obtained, to a place where there would be less exposure and alarm; and accordingly, with his own cordial assent, he was taken to an unoccupied house, placed upon a bed, and two men employed to take care of him. He received every needful attention; yet at three o'clock next morning the grim messenger summoned him to the spirit world. His remains were committed to the dust atHennepin."
