FITZHUGH ANGEL 840 East Avenue, Rochester, N. Y.
Fitzhugh Angel was born in Rochester, N.Y., March 22, 1892, son of Charles H. and Sadie Smith Angel. He received his early education in the public and high schools of Rochester and from private tutors, and when seventeen years old was appointed to the Naval Academy, Annapolis, by Hon. James Breck Perkins, Congressman.
Ensign Angel was very popular among his companions in school and at Annapolis. He was always at the head of his classes and took an intense interest in all phases of life. He was proficient in French, German and other languages.
He was graduated from Annapolis in 1913, taking high honors in his class, specializing in torpedo and submarine work. He qualified as an expert in torpedo work, and later was sent to the torpedo base at New London, Conn., where he completed his studies. After this he was assigned to duty on several war vessels, his last assignment being on the U.S.S. Rhode Island.
Ensign Angel came from a family interested in the sea and foreign countries. His grandfather was Minister to Norway and Sweden, and his father a merchant in foreign trade, being the first man to bring tea to this country from Japan after the treaty of 1860.
At the request of Hon. James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, who was his cousin, Ensign Angel was appointed as an attache of the American embassy at Berlin, and he sailed for Germany with the Ambassador, Dec. 5, 1916.
He was seized with a complete break down shortly after his arrival in Berlin and taken to a sanitarium. The Navy Department directed a naval surgeon attached to the Scorpion at Constantinople to proceed to Zurich and wait until Ensign Angel was able to return to America. Later he was taken by some of the consular officials to a sanitarium in Zurich on the border of Switzerland, where he died, Feb. 6, 1917. He was first buried in Switzerland, but later his body was brought back to America and reburied in the National Cemetery at Arlington, Va.
He had never suffered from illness until that which led to his death, and was considered especially strong and robust. Besides his father (now dead) he left a brother, Lawrence Angel, New York City, and cousins, Mrs. Francis S. Macomber and Mr. Levi S. Ward, Rochester, N. Y.
