OF MORRIS LOEB xxi 



On April 3, 1895, he was married at Cincinnati, his native 

 city, to Miss Eda Kuhn, who survives him. After more than 

 seventeen years of devoted married life, he died on October 

 8, 1912, falling a victim to typhoid fever and double pneu-

 cannot but believe that the way for his fatal illness was paved 

 by his over-exertion in welcoming at Washington the mem- 

 bers of the International Congress. The interment in the 

 family vault at Salem Fields, Cypress Hills, Long Island, 

 took place in the presence of a sorrowing throng of men and 

 women of many creeds and stations. 



The esteem in which he was held is manifest in the many 

 deeply appreciative resolutions now spread upon the records 

 of the societies of which he was a member. From among these, 

 two are quoted below, as typical of the general recognition 

 of his worth.

 the day of his death, the following preamble and resolution,

 abiding affection; now, therefore, be it 



"Resolved, that we make this minute of our poignant grief
