DEATH COMES SUDDENLY TO F. P. DENISON
No Warning of Final Attack on Prominent Man.
END OF A LONG ILLNESS
Sought in Vain for health in Adirondacks - Returned from North Five Weeks Age - Dies in Old James Street Home.
Franklin Pierce Denison, a resident of James street longer than any man of his generation and an enthusiastic sportsman and club man, died suddenly at 9:05 o'clock last night at the family residence, No. 610 James street.
Mr. Denison was one of the best-known residents of that fashionable resident section. His health had been failing three years, and while his recovery was not looked for his death was unexpected last night. In April, Mr. Denison went to Malone and on May 18 to Meacham Lake, in the Adirondacks. There he remained until August. He returned to Syracuse in much better condition, but in October he went back to Malone. His health, however, took a turn for the worse during the last few months and since his return home five weeks ago yesterday he had been confined to his bed.
Fifteen minutes before Mr. Denison died his physician, Dr. E. J. Belknap, was with him but there was no warning that the end might come so soon. After the physician left Mr. Denison apparently fell asleep. Then suddenly he ceased breathing. With him at the time was the young man who had been his constant companion for ten months. His mother was the only other person at home.
Intimate friends in James street were greatly surprised to hear the news of his sudden death and many of them hurried to the house to extend their sympathies to his aged mother.
Always Lived in Syracuse.
Born in Syracuse October 29, 1854, Mr. Denison had always lived in this city. For forty-seven years he had been a resident of James street. He was a son of the late Dr. Henry D. Denison, a prominent contractor.

For many years he was engaged in the management of his large estate, after the death of his father.

He was a director in the Haberle-Crystal Spring Brewing Company and although he was interested in other business enterprises, he was not active in their management.
For thirty-one years Mr. Denison was a visitor each year to Meacham lake and Loon lake in the Adirondacks and spent long periods there. He was an ardent sportsman and an enthusiastic angler. He was a member of the Anglers' Association and had a boat house at Cross lake, where he spent considerable time. South Bay was a popular resort with him and last summer he stayed five weeks there.

M., the Central City Masonic bodies, Central City Commandery No. 25, Knights Templar, and of the Masonic Veterans Association of Central New York, which included in its membership men who have been Masons twenty-one years. When he resigned from the Century Club a short time ago he was one of its oldest members in length of membership. Mr. Denison was also a member of Syracuse Lodge No. 31, B. P. O. E.
Mr. Denison was a Democrat, and he had served on General Hawley's staff in the New York state militia.
