Dr D Mayer, former Consul General to Buenos Ayres, in South America, died in the Jewish Hospital at Cincinnati, on Friday night. He was a resident of Charleston, and with his wife and ten children, was visiting his sister, Mrs Ida Maynard, Newport, Kentucky.
His children had come from all parts of the country to attend a family reunion, and were in attendance upon their father when death claimed him. He was suddenly stricken with ureamic poisoning Thursday night and upon the advice of Dr C E Walmsley was removed to the Jewish Hospital. Death came shortly after eight o'clock.
The decedent was a member of a number of secret orders, including Masons, Elks, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. He was also commander of the G A R post in Charleston. During the civil war he served as surgeon under the late President McKinley.
Dr Mayer was aged 68 years. He had been ill for the past several years, but was not considered in serious condition until a few weeks ago when he was visiting relatives in Cincinnati.
As a surgeon, Dr Mayer, in the Fifth West Virginia regiment, during the civil war attained distinction. He was elected prosecuting attorney of Boone county and occupied that office with credit to himself and satisfaction to the constituency. Later he was candidate on the Democratic ticket for state treasurer and was defeated. During the 80's, he was elected twice in succession by the republicans to the legislature.
Appointed by President McKinley as consul general to Buenos Ayres, Dr Mayer served successfully the term and was re-appointed to the same position by President Roosevelt. Accompanied by Mrs Mayer, he was coming back to this country from his post of duty, but she died aboard ship and was buried at sea. Later Dr Mayer was married the second time and his widow, together with six children all by his first union survive him. Three sons are Dr J Mayer, of Winfield, Daniel Mayer Jr, of Hinton, and Joseph Mayer, of Charleston. Three daughters are included, one of whom lives in Texas. They are all married. All the children were at the hospital when Dr Mayer died.
