Henry Seymour Lansing

--Friday, at Burlington, N.J., General Henry
Seymour Lansing, died. General Lansing was
born in Utica, and was a son of Cashier Bleeker
B. Lansing, who was cashier of of the Oneida bank
and engaged to mercantile business in Utica for
many years. The deceased was a member of the
famous Utica Light guards, which included in its
ranks the cream of young Uticans. In the war
for the union General Lansing raised the 17th
regiment of N. Y. S. volunteers, which he com-
manded as colonel, with General Charles A.
Johnson, of Utica, as major. He was an inti-
mate friend of General James McQuade, and
among his papers was a request that he should
be one of the pall bearers at his funeral. His
son telegraphed this request to Utica Saturday,
and General McQuade left last evening for Bur-
lington to pay the last tribute of respect to his
old friend.
