mobile in the barn when Franklin
entered, carrying the lantern. He
said he told the boy to keep away,

buretor, but fumes from the gaso

boy could move.

Murry Guggenheim,
Member of Famous
Mining Family, Dies
Capitalist Long Known
For His New York
Philanthropies
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15.—Murry
Guggenheim, capitalist member of
the famous copper mining family,
died today.
Mr. Guggenheim, long identified
with philanthropic work in New
York, died at his Fifth avenue home
after an illness of several tiays. He
was 81.
In the neighborhood of Wall
Street, the name of Murry Guggen
heim for decades suggested copper,
silver and Chilean nitrate, the stock
in trade of the famous family firm
of which he was a member.
Farther uptown, the name meant
band concerts on the mall in Central
Park on hot summer nights.
All over the city, it suggested the
dentist’s office to hundreds of thou
sands of school children who could
not afford the services of a private
practitioner.
Enlarged Inherited Fortune.
The millions of dollars with which
Mr. Guggenheim and his wife en
dowed their dental clinic and other
charities and helped support the
Goldman Band concerts, came from
one of America’s great family for
tunes, founded by Meyer Guggen
heim, a Swiss immigrant, and en
larged by his seven American-born
sons.
Mr. Guggenheim was the third of
those sons, born in Philadelphia
August 12, 1858. He entered the
firm of M. Guggenheim’s Sons when
it was established in 1881, and re
mained with it after it became
Guggenheim Bros, in 1915.
As it is often told, the story of the
origin of that vast mining concern
begins with a tale typical of Ameri
can business romance.
Meyer Guggenheim as a young
man plodded from house to house,
selling shoe blackening from a pack
on his back. Soon, instead of buying
his shoe blackening from a Jobber,
he began to manufacture his own.
From that beginning grew a busi
ness devoted to importing and sell
ing lace.
Took Mine In on Debt.
In exchange for a debt, the story
continues. Meyer Guggenheim, the
lace dealer, took some mining prop
erties in Colorado, sight unseen. He
sent two of his sons West to investi
gate the value of the claims, and
the Guggenheim lace company be
came a mining enterprise.
As a young man Murry Guggen
heim spent much of his time at the
smelters in Colorado. Later he be
came the company's sales expert
when his interests were merged with
those of the American Smelting &
Refining Co. in 1901.
The company dealt in everything
from Mexican silver to fuller’s earth.
In its later years Guggenheim Bros.,
in which Murry Guggenheim was a
senior partner, abandoned active
operation of mining properties.
He married Leonle Bemheim
March 15, 1887. She was the daugh
ter of Jacques Bernheim of Muel
hausen, Alsace. To them were born
a son, Edmond A., and a daughter,
Lucille. All survive.

Coughs Up Burr, Dies
WYNNE, Ark., Nov. 15 f/P).—Two
years ago, when he was 10, Buford
Brown drew a burr into his wind
pipe when a playmate slapped him
on the back while he had a blade
of grass in his mouth.
The burr lodged in a lung, caused
an abscess, defied all efforts to re
move it. He coughed up the burr
and a few hours later he died.
