White Sulphur Springs, Va, March 28 - Colonel William Jay, of New York, died suddenly here to-day. He was found dead in his room by Mrs Jay.
Colonel Jay, who was clerk of Trinity Corporation, New York, vice-president of the New York Herald Corporation and an officer in other corporations had been in White Sulphur Springs about two weeks. His health was poor and necessitated the trip. His death was attributed to heart disease.
William Jay was born in New York on February 12, 1841. His family was of Huguenot descent. The original American representative, Augustus Jay, who settled in New York in 1685, married Anna Bayard, also a French Protestant exile. Their son, Peter Jay, was a prosperous West Indian merchant and married a daughter of Jacobus Van Cortlandt. John Jay, the son of this marriage, was first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
William Jay was educated at the Columbia Grammar School and entered Columbia College in 1859. He was appointed a volunteer aide-de-camp at the outbreak of the Civil War, and soon afterward became captain. He was present at the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, at the siege of Petersburg and the final campaign at Appomattox in 1865. He resigned with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He began the study of law in the Columbia Law School, where he received his LL B degree in 1867. As a lawyer Mr Jay distinguished himself immediately. With Edgar S Van Winkle he formed a partnership, which continued until Mr Van Winkle's death, in 1882. Then, with Flamen B Candler, he formed the partnership of Jay & Candler, which to-day has offices at 48 Wall street.
Mr Jay was counsel for "The New York Herald," the Continental Trust Company, Trinity Church and other large corporations. He was senior warden and clerk of Trinity Church, and served as officer of numerous organizations, among them the Valley Farms Company, Commercial Cable Company, Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company and the New York Mortgage and Security Company.
Colonel Jay was a famous coach. He was one of the organizers of the Coaching Club, in 1875, and its president for twenty years. He was also president of the Huguenot Society. He was a member of the Loyal Legion, American Geographic Society, New York Historical Society, St Nicholas Society, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Columbia University Association. He belonged to the Knickerbocker, Century and City clubs.
