of the
profession as
of death. He had been rapidly recov-
weeks had threatened his life. At 9
o'clock his heart gave way under the
strain of his recent illness, his pulse
running up to 103. That was the be-
ginning of the end.
Mr. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died. Those at his bed-
side, besides his physicians and nurses,
were his wife, his son's wife, Mrs.
Philip D. Armour, Jr., and Mrs. J.
Ogden Armour.
The millionaire retained
ness until within an hour of his death.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around him
he had said:
“I know I am very sick and am ready
for death when it comes.”
Soon after lunch and just before the
physician forbade his talking more Mr
Armour, in feeble tones, said that he
would like to hear the Lord's Prayer
read. One of the
had been attending him drew a chair to
the bedside and slowly read from the
Bible that which the dying man had
asked. It was read sentence by sen-
tence, and each was repeated by
Armour. When the “Amen” had been
repeated by him he sank back en the
pillow and closed his eyes restfully
It was the*last word the great finan-
cier spoke except feeble farewells to
his family a little later.

Frank Billings, developed about

been practically a sound man. The
trouble was a muscular affection of the
heart, caused originally by the burst-
ing of a blood vessel. It grew worse
with advancing years.
