Death of Danforth P. Blake
Son of Prof. and Mrs. Blake, and a Youth of Great Promise.
Danforth Phipps Blake, the youngest son of Prof. W. P. And Mrs. Blake died on Sunday night of consumption at the age of twenty-two. His case was long regarded as hopeless, but he bore the pains of disease and faced certain and early death with an equanimity that amounted almost to cheerfulness, derived in a great measure from the comforting source of religion, for he was an earnest member of the Episcopal church.
He was a young man of great intellectual promise and four years ago he was entered at Yale college. He was compelled by ill health to abandon his studies in a regular college course, those he was afterward a close student and a deep reader.
The sympathies of the whole community and particularly the faculty of the university, go out to the Professor and Mrs. Blake to their affliction.
The body, embalmed by the Sam. F. Baird Undertaking company, was sent, last night, to Oakland, California, for burial. The remains were attended by Prof. Blake.
