Henry Eugene Davies, Jr.

        THE OBITUARY RECORD.
         Henry Eugene Davies.
 Henry Eugene Davies, who died yesterday
at Middleborough, Mass., was widely known
in this city, where he had built up an en-
viable reputation as a lawyer. He retired
from business about three years ago and
went to his country residence, at Fishkill-on-
the-Hudson. There he lived until six months
ago, when his health began to fail. His
doctors advised a change of scene, and he
went to Middleborough. For a while his
health seemed to improve; then a relapse
came, and death followed a hemorrhage
which attacked him yesterday morning. His
wife and only son were in Fishkill. No ar-
rangements for the funeral have been made.
 Mr. Davies was born in New-York in 1830.
He was graduated at Columbia College in
1857. At the outbreak of the civil war he
went to the front as Captain of the Fifth
New-York Volunteers. He passed through 
the successive grades, and in 1863 was pro-
moted to the rank of Brigadier General. He 
served with distinction in the Army of the
Potomac, and in 1864 he was brevetted
Major General of Volunteers. He was sent
to command the Middle District in Ala-
bama in May, 1865. He administered the
duties of that office until 1866, when he ten-
dered his resignation and returned to civil
life. Shortly afterward he was appointed
Public Administrator in New-York City, and
subsequently he became United States Dis-
trict Attorney for the Southern District of
New-York.
