C. A. DENISON PASSES AWAY
Death Comes to a Well Known Business Man.
THE FRIEND OF THE FIREMEN
Deceased Was Honorary Assistant Chief of the Department, Ever Ready and Willing to Assist Any Member of It and Was Absent from Few Fires - He Was a Member of Many Clubs and Masonic Orders in Syracuse and Other Cities.
Charles Anson Denison, honorary assistant chief of the Fire Department and one of the most prominent business men of the city, died at his home, No. 619 James street, at 9:05 o'clock last evening. Death is supposed to have been due to acute Bright's disease.
Although Mr. Denison's health had been somewhat impaired for the past two years, it was not until ten days ago that he was compelled to take to his bed. At that time it was believed his ailment was only temporary.
Drs. J. W. Sheldon and J. W. Candee were in attendance and later Dr. B. Carleton, the eminent New York physician, who is the head of the Bright's Disease Hospital of New York, was called in consultation. The patient, however, gradually grew worse, the disease taking on an aggravated form.
At 9 o'clock last evening Mr. Denison's condition became alarming and a few minutes later, while surrounded by the members of his family and relatives, he passed away.
The news of Mr. Denison's death came as a profound surprise to his friends. In a few moments it had been flashed over the telephone to all the clubs of the city, where he was a familiar figure. the intelligence was also conveyed to the various fire apparatus houses of the city, where Mr. Denison was a general favorite with the firemen, and among whom he spent the greater part of his time during the past few years.
Charles Anson Denison was born May 5, 1857, at Orville and was a son of the late Dr. H. D. Denison. He was a brother of the late Lucius S. Denison and of Franklin P. Denison, his two sisters having died nearly thirty years ago. His father died in 1882. In that year he married Miss Jennie Lines, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Lines.
The first business enterprise with which he was identified was the Syracuse Packing & Provision Company. Later he became attached to the firm of L. Anderson & Co. He retained an interest in the packing business for eighteen years. Retiring from this business he assumed the management of the Denison estate, which duties he continued up to the time of his death.
A Member of Many Organizations.
Mr. Denison was a member of the Lambs Club of New York city, the Citizens' Club, the Century Club and the Business Men's Club of Syracuse, Central City Masonic Lodge No. 305 and all of the Central City bodies, A. A. S. Rite and Mystic Shrine of Utica. He was also a member of the Onondaga Golf Club.
After the death of the late Hamilton S. White, Mr. Denison was appointed his successor as a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners by Mayor McGuire, and after that body had been abolished by the adoption of the White Charter, he was appointed by Mayor McGuire as an honorary assistant chief. Mr. Denison had a penchant for attending fires that was second only to that of the late H. S. White. From his infancy he followed the apparatus and was ever willing to lend a helping hand to the firemen.
Attended Nearly Every Fire.
During the past few years there were few fires from which he was absent. At this home in James street he installed a complete system of alarm service and both day and night he turned out with the firemen. He had a thorough knowledge of the workings of the Fire Department and was personally acquainted with every member of it. His leisure hours were spent among the firemen, whom he was ever ready and willing to assist. They were the recipients many times of gifts from Mr. Denison and a Christmas seldom passed that a box of cigars failed to reach each house.
Besides his widow the deceased is survived by one daughter, Miss Marion Denison.
