BROKEN HEART CAUSES DR. CONNELL'S DEATH
Failed Since Lieut. Robert Connell, Son, Died at Paris
END COMES SUDDENLY
Dr. R. W. Connell, former health commissioner, who had been failing in health since the death of his son, Lieutenant Robert Connell, in Paris, more than a year ago, died suddenly of heart failure last night in his apartments at the Blackstone.
Members of his family said he died from a broken heart over his son's death.
Dr. Connell seemed in better spirits than usual last evening and there was no indication of his condition until 11:30 when he collapsed. He died fifteen minutes later after accepting the Catholic faith.
Clash Over Health Rules
For twelve years Dr. Connell was health commissioner under former Mayor James C. Dahlman. His administration was marked by frequent clashes with individuals and groups over his interpretation of health regulations and insistence that they be strictly obeyed. He had lived in Omaha since 1884.
Dr. Connell established a score card system of checking up dairies, inaugurated a system of garbage collection, raised quarantine regulations to a high standard and worked out a plan for inspection of meats handled by independent packers.
Dr. Connell was born at Schroon Lake, Essex county, N. Y., August 5, 1860. He was a graduate of the Pulte Medical college at Cincinnati, and took a post graduate course in Chicago, 1892-94, and in New York City in 1898-99.
Relatives Live Here
All members of the doctor's immediate family are in Omaha. The family consists of the physician's widow, a daughter, Regina, and two sons, Herbert, attorney for the street car company, and James, a student at Yale university, who is at home spending his Christmas vacation.
He is also survived by a brother, W. J. Connell, of Omaha, now on the Pacific coast, and two sisters Mrs. Laura Sanford of Indianapolis and Mrs. Mary Haskell of Columbus, O.
