Obituary:
"Demise of George H. Bangs, for thirty years General Superintendent of Pinkerton's Detective Agency
George H. Bangs. Sep 14, 1883 Mr. George 11. Bangs who for thirty years occupied the responsible position of General Superintendent of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, departed this life at 2 o'clock yesterday morning at his country home in Roselle, N. J. Mr. Bangs was a gentleman of honor, worth, and intelligence, and many of the most important cases in which the Pinkertons achieved remarkable success were controlled and guided by the master hand of the deceased. Mr. Bangs was endowed by nature with all qualifications of a detective, and during the whole course of his career he envinced a thorough knowledge of the profession which made his name famous throughout the police circles of the country. In the grouping and management of the evidence in important trials his methods and thoroughness have been acknowledged by Prosecuting Attorneys of every state in the Union, while his knowledge of forgery and the various methods resorted to by perpetrators made him a terror to the entire fraternity. To the most thrilling as well as the most important cases that came under his notice he devoted the same thorough and skillful attention which was requisit to insure success, and it is to this thorough understanding of the most difficult cases that the success which has made the Pinkertons famous throughout the country has been attained. A gentleman in the highest sense of the word. Mr. Bangs loss will be felt not only by his associates point of view, but amid a host of warm and affectionate friends who have known the man outside of his profession. Mr. Bangs was 55 years of age at the time of his death, and leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss. His son George D. Bangs, is Assistant Superintendent of the New York Agency of Mr. Pinkerton, and his two daughters are married to prominent Chicagoans. The remains will be brought to Chicago for interment, and the funeral arrangements will be under the supervision of Mr. Allan Pinkerton, who loved him like a brother."
