The Death Of Mrs. Angell

THE DEATH OF MRS. ANGELL

End Came at Three O'clock This Morning

A NOBLE WOMAN

Whose Memory and Example Will Remain Long With Those Who Knew Her

Mrs. Sarah Caswell Angell, wife of President Angell, of the University, died December 17 of bronchial pneumonia, after a brief illness. At the last she was free from pain and passed as peacefully away as a tired child crosses the borders of dreamland.

Mrs. Angell was taken with a severe cold during the latter part of last week and bronchial pneumonia soon developed. The family are at a loss to account for the cold which induced the later illness, as she was accustomed to take the greatest precautions against the ill effects of Michigan's changing winters. She was attended by Dr. V. C. Vaughan, who gave her the utmost care and attention, and who advised sending for the relatives when it became apparent that her condition was dangerous. The sons were at her bedside, but the daughter, Mrs. A. C. McLaughlin, did not arrive until this morning.

Mrs. Angell was the daughter of the late President Caswell, of Brown University. She was born in 1831 in Providence, R. I., and lived there until after her marriage to James B. Angell, which took place in 1855. She removed to Burlington, Vt., in 1866, her husband having been elected president of Vermont University, and there she made her home until she accompanied Dr. Angell to Ann Arbor in 1872. Her personality has been a strong one in the social life of the University and has in particular been a benefit and an inspiration to the young lady students. She has actively interested herself in the life and work of the young ladies, and was one of the associate members of Collegiate Sorosis. She was also prominent in the affairs of the Congregational church, where her influence was particularly strong among the student members, and in the Daughters of the Revolution.

Mrs. Angell left two sons--A. C. Angell, of Detroit, an attorney, and James R. Angell, professor in the University of Chicago--and one daughter, Mrs. Andrew C. McLaughlin, of Washington, D. C. She is survived by one brother, Major Thomas F. Caswell, of Annapolis, now retired.
