Mr. French died at the home of his son, Judge George A. French, after an illness of less than a week, aged 72 years. He was born in Williston, Vt., February 24, 1839, his father being David French, a graduate of U. V. M., in the class of 1813, and a prominent lawyer of his time residing on Burlington until his death in 1872. Charles O.

He entered the Twelfth Vermont Volunteers and served with distinction in the Civil war, being breveted captain.
At the close of the war he engaged in the book and stationery business for several years, having a store in The Times building at the corner of Church and Main streets. He then went to Colorado as president of the Dolores Valley Mining Company. After six years' stay in Colorado he returned to New York and took a position in the New York branch of the great English publishing house of Longmans, Green & Co., and continued to occupy this position up to a year ago, when he resigned and removed to Riverside, making his home ever since with the family of his son.
