In Memoriam.

S. A. COOK, F. A. I. A.

Of Tacoma, Wash., was elected a member of the Western Association of Architects in 1885, while practicing at Winfield, Kansas, and during 1888 and 1889 was vice-president of the Kansas Association of Architects. He died April 27, 1893.

JAMES P. JOHNSTON, F. A. I. A.

Of Ogdensburg, N. Y., was born at Hainesburg, Vermont, August 21, 1841, and was stricken with paralysis at Ogdensburg on the 16th and died September 20th, 1893, leaving an unfinished Court House of his design which he had been busy upon for some months. He was favorably known and esteemed in the community in which he had resided for more than twenty years and had served in several public offices, and at one time was mayor pro tempore of the city of his residence and was also an officer in several societies and organizations. Among the buildings which he designed were numerous private residences, churches, court houses, etc., and upon his death the Common Council of Ogdensburg passed resolutions of appreciation and respect to his memory. He left a widow, two sons and one daughter.

ALPHEUS CAREY MORSE, F. A. I. A.

Of Providence, born in Boston, Mass., June 3, 1818, died at his home November 25, 1893, after a brief illness, at the ripe old age of seventy-five.

Blessed with deep and strong affections, with a highly attuned and sensitive nature, overlying an artistic instinct that saturated his whole being, his gentle spirit found expression in conversation that reflected these lovely traits of his character and gave evidence of the breadth of his culture and the kindliness of his

heart. Through the medium of the crayon in portraiture, and the pencil in architectural drawings executed with rare skill, he gave a further and more subtile expression of his artistic genius.

Mr. Morse's high artistic ability and delicate appreciation of color made him much sought after as a designer of monumental work, as a director of decorations in color, and as a counsellor and adviser in many directions, by persons who had difficult problems to solve requiring the highest expression of art. He was also, in the latter years of his life, very frequently called upon by committees having large public projects in hand, as architectural adviser, and, at the suggestion and by the request of his fellows in the profession, he was often selected to act as judge in architectural competitions, both because of their high appreciation of his professional skill and because of the universal recognition of the eminent impartiality and fairness of his decisions.

Mr. Morse's professional life in Providence covered about forty years of active service as an architect, and we believe it will be difficult to find anywhere an instance where one has left behind him work of its kind of higher average excellence, and where can be found fewer examples that one might wish to change.

P. W. RUEHL, F. A. I. A.

Of Chicago, became a member of the Western Association of Architects in 1884. He died in Chicago, December 1, 1893.

GEORGE H. EDBROOKE, F. A. I. A.

Of New York, was born in 1839.

His father was a builder, his brother, W. J. Edbrooke, F. A. I. A., formerly the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department of the U. S. Government, is a member of the firm of Edbrooke & Burnham, Chicago, and another brother, Frank, is in practice in Colorado.

He was elected a member of the Western Association of Architects in 1884 and became a Fellow of the Institute by the Consolidation of 1889.

He died in New York, January 25, 1894.

Of Montclair, N. J., died at his home after a brief illness, on Thursday, January 31, 1894.

An attack of la Grippe speedly developed into congestion of the lungs, or pneumonia, removed a most promising young man of thirty who had already shown his skill as an architect, and had won the respect of the community in which he was born and had always lived.

Devoted to his parents, with whom he resided, he had associated himself with his father in business at the beginning of his professional life. About four years before his decease he opened an office for himself and conducted creditably an increasing professional practice. He had also given a series of lectures on Architecture in the Architectural Department of the Columbia School of Mines.

Of Chicago, was born in Friedberg, Germany. June 16, 1827. He was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1873, and was an ex-president of the Illinois Chapter. He died at Chicago, February 8, 1894.
