Mr. Edward Bangs, an old and well-known resident of this section, died yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o’clock, at his residence, 3148 Dumbarton Avenue, after an illness of several days. Only a few months ago the deceased recovered from a prolonged attack of stomach trouble. He was able to be out again, when he was a second time seized with the same complaint, with fatal results.
The deceased was born November 24, 1826 and was, therefore, over seventy years of age. He was a native of Baltimore, but his early life was spent in the District. In 1852 he returned to Baltimore and entered into the wholesale shoe business, remaining in the trade until 1871, when he again located in Washington, since which time he had continuously resided here. The deceased was married August 9, 1858, to Miss Ellen E. Thomas. The widow and a grown-up son, Mr. Howard Bangs, survive him.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock from the chapel in Oak Hill Cemetery, Rev. Dr. J.B. Stitt, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church and Rev. Dr. Hammond, pastor of the Congress Street Methodist Protestant Church, conducting the services.
