SAMUEL D. FAY,

One of the most popular bookkeepers in the city, died of typhoid fever
at 7 o'clock this morning, after an illness of two weeks.  The news
was a surprise to many, as it is not long since Mr. Fay was at his
desk in the wholesale house of Fay, Hutchison & Co.  The deceased was
born in Williamsburg, in November, 1857.  His early days were spent
there, and his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Fay, and his sister, Miss Jennie
Fay, still reside there.  Besides these, he leaves the following
brothers in this city: Joseph M., Robert J., James D., and John Edgar.
Mr. Fay was a Forester and an attendant of the Presbyterian church.
The remains were taken to Williamsburg this afternoon.  The funeral
will take place there at 3:15 o'clock Friday afternoon; interment in
the Presbyterian cemetery.
