wires Monday throughout the world and it case a gloom of  sadness  among

cause of his sudden death. He was born in New York  City,  on  Oct.  27,
1858, and was 60 years, 2 months and 10 days old. He was a patriotic and
true blue American and probably had a greater  personal  following  than
any other man in this country. His name had been mentioned in connection
with the Republican nomination for president in 1920.

His first wife died in  1884,  leaving  one  daughter,  now  Mrs.  Alice
Longworth of Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1886 he and Miss Edith Kermit Garow of
New York were married, and five children were  born  of  this  marriage:
Edith, wife of Dr. Richard Derby, and four sons, Theodore  Jr.,  Kermit,
Archibald and Quentin, Quentin joined the U.S. Aviation service and  was
killed in combat. Theodore Jr., and Archie  joined  the  U.S.  Army  and
