DUTTON, HENRY, LL.
D., a jurist, and formerly Governor of
Connecticut, born in Plymonth, Litchfield Co.,
Conn., Feb. 12, 1796; died in New Haven, April
26,1869. He was a grandson of Captain Thomas
Button, of Revolutionary memory. His youth was
spent in the cultivation of his father's farm, and
in study. Having by dint of great industry, under
unfavorable circumstances, qualified himself for
admission to college, he entered the junior class
at Yale, and there graduated with honor, in 1818.
After leaving college, he studied law with the
Hon. R. M. Sherman, at Fairfield, supporting
himself in the mean time by teaching in the
academy of that town. From 1821 to 1826 he was
tutor in Yale College, and at the close of that
period he established himself in the practice of
his profession at Newtown, Connecticut. After
remaining here fourteen years, he removed to
Bridgeport, and for ten years occupied a leading
position at the bar of Fairfield County, being
Attorney for the State. Subsequently he was
appointed Professor of Law in Yale College, and
removed to New Haven, where he continued to reside
until his death. He was five times a member of the
House of Representatives, and in 1849 was a member
of the State Senate. He was also a Judge of the
County Court for one year after his removal to New
Haven. In 1854 he was elected Governor of
Connecticut, which office he held for one year. In
1861 he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court,
and of the Supreme Court of Errors, which position
he continued to occupy until 1866, when, by
reaching the age of seventy years, he became,
under the provisions of the constitution,
disqualified from longer retaining it. On his
retirement from the bench he resumed his practice
at the bar, and continued to prosecute it with
great assiduity until his failing health compelled
him to withdraw substantially from business. Judge
Button published, in 1833, an analytical digest of
the Connecticut Reports and a revision of Swift's
Digest, and was a member of the commissions of
1849 and 1866, to whom the General Assembly, in
1847, intrusted the duty of revising the Statutes
of the State, and was chairman of the committee
which, in 1854, prepared a new compilation of the
Statutes of the State.

MIKE
GORDON
Sudden
Death
“Mike” Gordon Expired in the
Grinding Room Shortly Before
Noon – Leaves a
Wife and Five Small Children
“Mike” E. Gordon, a man about 40
years of age, employed at the Gove company’s
factory, died suddenly this morning at 11:50. He had
just finished collecting “scrap” in the boot room
and placing his truck on the elevator, went down
on the elevator to the grinding room. Some of
his fellow workmen who noticed him sitting on his
truck with his head hanging down thought he might
have fainted and went to his assistance, when they
learned that he was
dead.
Medical Examiner Johnson was
summoned and after examining the unfortunate man
gave it as his opinion that Gordon had died of
heart failure.
It
was learned that the deceased had made two
attempts within three months to join benefit
societies in town but that in each case he had
been rejected by the examining physicians who told
him he had heart
trouble.
The
deceased leaves a wife and five small
children.
He resided over Todd’s store on Water
street. He was a
steady worker and was liked by all his fellow
employees.
The news of his death spread rapidly and
ruing the noon hour a large crowd
congregated outside the factory and all discussed
the sudden death that had
occurred.
Undertaker McCarthy removed the body
of Mr. Gordon to the home of the family of the
deceased.
The arrangements for the funeral have not
been completed.

Century.
NEW HAVEN, Sept. 13.--Colin
McCrae Ingersoll, eighty-five years of age, died
at his home, 85 Trumbull Street, this afternoon,
after a prolonged illness. The primary cause
of death was pneumonia.
Mr. Ingersoll has been a
prominent figure in New Haven life for over half a
century. He was the senior of his
distinguished brother, ex-Gov. Charles R.
Ingersoll, who died less than a year ago.
The Ingersoll family has given to the State many
of its most distinguished lawyers, citizens,
legislators, and diplomats.
Colin McCrae Ingersoll
was born March 11, 1819. He was a graduate of
Trinity Colleg and the Yale Law School. In 1847
and 1848 he was Secretary of the American Legation
at St. Petersburg, when his father, Ralph Isaacs
Ingersoll, was Minister to Russia. After his
return to America Mr. Ingersoll was elected to
Congress for the session of 1851-3 and 1854-5. He
was Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut
from 1867 until 1871.
Mr.
Ingersoll is survived by three children, Miss Mary
E. Ingersoll, who lives at the Ingersoll
homestead; Colin M. Ingersoll, chief engineer of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and
George P. Ingersoll, a lawyer, of New York City.
The funeral
arrangements have not yet been completed.

Nathan
Beers, M.
D., an eminent physician, of
New Haven, Conn.; died there, aged 67 years. He
was born in New Haven in 1806, graduated at Yale
College in the class of 1825, and at the Medical
School in 1828, and, following the example of his
father and grandfather, entered upon his
profession in his native city, where his talents,
industry, and social qualities, soon placed him in
the front rank. With his father ho was also for
many years engaged in private medical instruction.
The unremitting labors of his profession, however,
proved too severe for his health, and a few years
previous to his death he retired from active
practice.
