OBITUARY
Benjamin Carver, an old citizen of Chicago, died at his residence in this city last evening in the 84th year of his age. Mr. Carver was born at Winfield, N. Y., and was for many years engaged in extensive business at Mohawk, N. Y. He always took an active part in politics and public affairs, and held several responsible offices in his native State. At an early period he was interested in business at the West and in Chicago, and was a large stockholder and Director of the old Marine Bank of Chicago. He made his residence in Chicago about 1860, and until the past three or four years his fine and striking presence was familiar on our streets. Infirm health has since kept him mostly confined to the house, but his mind and judgment remained clear up to nearly the hour of his death. Mr. Carver was a man of strong will and positive convictions, of remarkably good judgment, of great business capacity, and of strict integrity. He was honest and upright in all his dealings, and he was a useful and valuable citizen. He leaves two sons, B. F. Carver, of New York, and Watts S. Carver, of this city, and four daughters, Mrs. B. Doolittle and Mrs. Samuel Remington, of New York, and Mrs. L. Z. Leiter and Mrs. J. H. Thompson, of this city.
