Mosher 339 - West 88th Dr Harry A Baker - [G???lm?] 108 - West 89th Street New York DEATH OF GEORGE T. ANTHONY ____________ Ex- Governor of Kansas and a Former Resident of Rochester The following dispatch was received from Topeka, Kan., this morning : "Ex- Gov. George T. Anthony died last night. He had been ill three weeks. He was governor of Kansas from 1877 to 1879 and was appointed superintendent of insurance by Gov. Morril, which office he held up to the time of his death." Mr. Anthony was for a number of years in the 70's a resident of Rochester, occupying with his wife and son the old homestead at the corner of West and Chili avenues. He was a distant relative of Misses Mary S. and Susan B. Anthony of Madison street. Miss Anthony's Brother-in-law Dead Miss Mary Anthony received last evening a telegram from San Diego, California stating that her brother-in-law, Aaron M. McClean was dead. Jan. 18,1986 Mr. McClean lived for many years in this city, where he was a well-known insurance agent, doing business in Reynolds Arcade. While in this city he lived with the Misses Anthony at the homestead on Madison Street. The telegram did not explain the cause of his death, but it is likely that it was old age, as he was about 83 years old. never allow me, however, to make a mis- statement if he could help it, and I often got him to talking about certain things by intentionally stating them in a way which I knew was not correct, where- upon the General would look at me in a despairing way and say: 'Now, Julia, I think you are mistaken about that, you have it all wrong. It was this way.' He would then go on to tell the true story of the matter in all its details. He grew in- terested as he talked. His face lighted up at such times, and he expressed him- self in good language. He was a very well-read man, and during most of his life he was a hard student."
