Death of Dr. A. Clarke Baum
Stricken with paralysis, while reading his newspaper
Dr. A. Clarke Baum died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at his residence, No. 103 West Onondaga street. A stroke of paralysis came without the slightest premonitory symptom, as he sat reading his morning paper, and was followed first by unconsciousness and then by a second and fatal stroke. Medical attendance given by Drs. J.P. Dunlap, Alfred Mercer and H.C. Baum of North Syracuse, the last named a nephew of the deceased, proved of no avail.
Dr. Adam Clarke Baum was a native of Minden, Montgomery county, where he was born August 28, 1833. Rev. John Baum, his father, was a pioneer of this county. The family came from Montgomery county to Cicero in this county about 1834 and settled there. In the schools of Syracuse and at the academy of Cazenovia, the deceased received --- for Madison University, where he was graduated. He chose medicine for a profession, and after being awarded his diploma by the university of New York, practiced it at different times in Peterboro, Madison county, Des Moines, Ia. and a assistant surgeon of the Fifthith Engineer Corps, N.Y. Vols. At the close of the war Dr. Baum tried his fortune in the oil regions, and fancying the new country, established with Grandon Brothers, a bank at Tidionte, Pa. But Syracuse was to him more than wealth in the oil regions, and in 1870 he returned here to organize the firm known as Neal, Baum & co., wholesale dealers in dry goods. The business established by this firm was subsequently taken and is still continued by Sperry, Neal & Hyde. Dr. Baum has since been engaged in the manufacture of a commercial commodity known as castorine, with the exception of a short service as traveling freight agent of the West shore railroad.
Dr. Baum's surviving family consists of a widow, who was Josephine Stone, daugher of A.C. Stone of Peterboro and four daughters, Josephine, Louise, Rose and Harriet. He also leaves one brother, John Baum of Atlanta, Ga. and four sisters, Mrs. John Hanchett of Chittenango, Mrs. J.J. Wadsworth of Erie Pa., Mrs. Katherine Gray of Phoenix and Mrs. John Taft of Warren, Pa.
The acquaintenance Dr. Baum had made in Syracuse was very large, and by every one he was much esteemed as a gentleman whose manners were what may be called courtly, in an age like this, when rough and readiness are the prevalent fashion. Many people who did not know him to take him by the hand or bow to him in the street, were familiar with his looks and graciousness, for they had seen him on the stage. Amateur theatricals were one of his pastimes and the performance he appeared in had an earnest and apt novice. Public charity in this city owes Dr. Baum many an unacknowledged debt for his interest in these affairs. Many of his colleagues on the amateur stage, adoped dramatic art as a profession, among others being Charles H. Riegel, L. Frank Baum his nephew, Kate Jaycox McKinstry, Blanche Weaver and Mortimer Ruger.
As a citizen Dr. Baum was not assertive, but interested and on questions of moment usually made himself heard. The only office he ever held was that of alderman, to which the Republicans of the Fifth ward elected him in 1877.
