OBITUARY. 
Arthur  Wellesley  Gabauijan,  of  New  York,  died  on  the  4th  of 
January  last,  at  the  age  of  57.  He  was  a  well  known  and  able  pharma- 
ceutist, was  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and 
a  Yic«  President  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York. 
Mr.  Gabaudan  was  born  at  Pleasant  Valley,  Dutchess  Co.,  New  York, 
on  the  7th  of  January,  1814.  His  father,  a  native  of  Jamaica,  was  of 
Huguenot  extraction,  originally  from  Normandie.  He  studied  both 
pharmacy  and  medicine,  but  at  the  age  of  24  devoted  himself  exclusively 
to  the  former  profession,  of  which  he  became  an  eminent  member.  Mr. 
Gabaudan  leaves  a  wife  and  two  daughters;  but  probably  no  other  cir- 
cumstances than  the  above  are  of  general  interest.  Yet  to  his  friends 
other  impressive  recollections  do  occur,  and  although  Mr.  G.  became 
prosperous  during  later  years,  he  formerly  met  with  adversity  in  business 
not  easily  overcome.  Within  a  short  period  he  lost  his  only  remaining 
son,  and  his  own  death  renders  the  family  name  extinct. 
The  following  resolutions  were  passed  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  on  the  6th  of  January  : 
"  Whereas,  In  the  death  of  Arthur  W.  Gabaudan  the  College  sustains 
the  loss  of  a  valued  officer,  and  the  members  of  this  Board  an  esteemed 
associate ; 
''Be  it  resolved,  Asa  demonstration  of  respect,  that  the  Trustees  at- 
tend the  funeral  of  the  deceased,  and  invite  the  attendance  of  the  Pro- 
fessors and  members  of  the  College  ; 
"That  the  Secretary  be  requested  to  transmit  to  the  family  of  Mr. 
Gabaudan  a  letter  of  sympathy  in  its  great  affliction  ; 
"That  an  obituary  in  memoriam  of  Mr.  Gabaudan  be  published  in  the 
next  issues  of  the  Druggists'  Circular  and  the  American  Journal  of 
Pharmacy,  and  that  the  Secretary  enter  these  proceedings  on  the  min- 
utes of  the  Board."
