That was sad news that flashed across the cable wires yesterday afternoon from Paris, bringing to a Brunswick household agonizing sorrow and plunging into depths of sorrow a fond, admiring circle of friends. The cablegram announced that Miss Daisy Troup had just died suddenly, of heart disease, in the capital city of France. Miss Troup was the daughter of Mrs. Troup and the sister of Mr. Robert Troup fo this city. Six years ago she left home to complete her education and, in New York, it was her fortuned to be under the training of a master of vocal and music whose fame was measured by no small standard. This professor told Miss Troup that she had a fortune in her voice, and offered her the benefit of his instruction; provided she would sing at his concerts. In the musicales of New York society Miss Troup’s voice won her flattering notice, and she finally determined to devote her life to the operatic stage. After a visit home, she went to Europe and, at the time of her sad death, was preparing herself for her debut in grand opera, which was to occur the coming winter. Young, beautiful, gifted far beyond the meed of the generality of women, death, in its sudden and successful attack, removes a star of the great art world and loosens the silken cord of a life that was all attuned to heaven’s symphonies. The announcement fell with shocking force upon the aged mother, who has been in feeble health for some time, and she is completely prostrated. The Brunswick Times-Advertiser; Sunday 16 June 1895; pg. 4 col. 1 The remains of Miss Daisy Troup will probably be brought from Paris to Brunswick for burial. The Brunswick Times-Advertiser; Monday 17 June 1895; pg. 1 col. 6 DIED AFTER HER SWAN SONG—Full cable details of the death of Miss Daisy Troup, published in the New York papers, state that Miss Troup, at the request of her instructor sang before M. Carvaiho, manager of the great Opera Comique. M. Carvaiho praised her work enthusiastically. Miss Troup fainted from the excitement of the moment and died from heart failure in two hours. The remains were embalmed and placed in a chapel. They will be shipped from Paris Saturday and will reach here in ten days. Mr. Robert Troup, brother of the deceased, has gone to New York to meet the body and attend to the transportation to Brunswick. The Brunswick Times-Advertiser; Wednesday 10 July 1895; pg. 4 col. 2 OVER THE SEA TO A GRAVE—The remains of Miss Daisy Troup reached the city at 7:30 this morning, from Paris via New York, accompanied by the brother of the deceased, Mr. Robert Troup. The funeral services were held at St. Mark’s Episcopal church at 11 o’clock this morning. Rector H.E. Lucas conducting them. A large number of friends of the family gathered at the church to pay the last tribute of respect to the fair, dead singer. The remains were interred in the family lot, Oak Grove cemetery. The sad story of Miss Troup’s death has been fully told in these columns, and the funeral today puts a gloomy period to a sweet life, full of such great promise. For the stricken relatives there is a greater meed [sic] of sympathy than death usually brings to utterance, and in their grief there is not the added pain of those who weep alone.
