DEATH OF HORACE HAND.
i
of This
(Siently Esteemed Citizen
Place Pusses Away.
Horace Chapman Hand died at ,
his home in this borough, at about I
flyht o'llock on Monday morning,
Attgi'st.10, 1909.
Mr. Hand was born on May 25,
1S30, at Windham, Greene county,
New York, and was tho oldest son
of Ezra and Catherine (Chapman)
Hand. In the following year his
parents removed to Honesdale, ,
where his father engaged In tho I
mercantile business, In partnership
with Daniel P. Kirtland and Isaac
P. Foster. A year later, the latter
retired, and the business was con
tinued by ttio others under the llrm
nnnie of Hand & Kirtland, for up-!
ward of thirty years.
Mr. Hand received his education I
I at the Honesdale Academy (which
filled the place subsequently oc- ,
oupled by the High School) sup-1
plemtnted by attendance at the Mont- I
rose Academy and the seminary at I
Dtoomfleld, N. .1. His lirst experi
ence in business was gained in the
store of Hand & Kirtland. In 184S
he entered the Honesdale Bank,
then a State Institution, as clerk.
He was subsequently appointed tel
ler, and held this position until
1S04. The bank minutes of that
year contain the following entry:
"March 17, 18C4, the cashier laid
before the board the resignation of
Horace C. Hand, as teller of the
bank (after a service as clerk and
teller of nearly sixteen years), to
take effect March 31, to enable him
to enter Into an nctlve business,
which resignation was accepted with
regret by the board, and with ex
pressions of appreciation of the
faithful and valuable service ren
dered by Mr. Hand."
Mr. Hand suceeded Hand &. Kirt
land in the mercantile business, and
J. C. Delczenne was associated with
him in the enterprise. In less than
two years, however, he decided to
retire from It, and on doing this lie
resumed the position of teller in
the bank which meantime had
been chartered as the Honesdale
National Bank. In 1S71, the Wayne
County Saving Bank, which had been
chartered in tho preceding year,
as a State Institution, was organized,
and opened for business on No
vember 1. Mr. Hand accepted the
position of cashier. He continued
In tills position until January, 190S,
when he was elected President. He
held this position until his death.
The administration of tho affairs
of the bank, on Hie part of Mr
Maud, was chnrai terized by a spirit
of enterprise and progress, breadth
of view, accuracy of judgment,
general business qualities of a high
order, and absolute integrity. Its
operations and Interests wore
marked by steady and safe expan
sion, and It has been largely due
to his sagacity, and the confidence
which ho commanded, that it has
become recognized as ono of the
most successful financial Institutions
in the State.
Mr. Hand possessed a most pleas
ing personality, and occupied a high
pliu o in the esteem of all who knew
him. Ho was unassuming and sin
cere, w'tli earnest convictions, and
of a deeply religious nature. From
early life ho was a member of the
Presbyterian church, and for mor
than thirty years was an elder, a
trustee and treasurer, and also a
teacher in the Sunday school. He
was treasurer of the Honesdale Wa
ter Company from Its organization,
in 1SG3, until its merger with the
Consumers' Water Company, in
11105. In every position in which
he was placed, ho performed its
duties faithfully and with adequate
ability.
On October 3, 1S54, Mr. Hand
married Miss Charlotte Niven Stone,
daughter of Henry W. Stone, of
Honesdale,, who survives him.
Their children were Charles ,
Alfred C, and Henry S. Alfred en
tered the ministry of the Presby
terian church, and died several
years ago.
For several years preceding his
death, Mr. Hand's health had been
declining, from tho infirmities In
cident to his advanced years. For i
the greater part of the past year
he seldom walked alono from his
house to the bank; this, however,
was not wholly from failure of
strength, but was largely due to a
serious impairment of his eyesight, i
The last time he did this was in De
cember, 190S. He went to the
bank for the last time April 10, ,
1909, in a carriage. His mental
faculties remained substantially un-j
impaired. For about twenty-tour
hours previous to his death lie was ;
unconscious.
The funeral services will be held
at his late residence at three o'clock
on Thursday afternoon. Rev. Dr.
W. II. Swift will be the officiating '
clergyman. Tho active pallbearers1
will bo selected from his nephews.
The Directors of the Savings Bank, ,
the Session of tho Presbyterian
iluircli, with Louis J. Dorllinger,
10. A. Pennlman, and II. Wilson,
will bo honorary pall bearers.
At Last.
Sunday evening, at about six
o'clock ran began falling gently and
unobtrusively, with no nolso or glare,
and kept steadily nf It unt'l day
light tho following morning. That
it was very welcome, after the long
weeks of dry weather, need not be
questioned. Nature smiles again,
mid overytlilng and everybody looks
brighter and cleaner. It Is rather
nnusual, in this latitude, at this sea-
son to havo such a quiet, steady
rain, but it was nil tho more appro-
i1 or. 'iccount.
