Death Ends Career of Galveston Citizen
BERTRAND ADOUE DIED AT GALVESTON HOME
FUNERAL OF PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN WILL BE CONDUCTED THERE TODAY.
Galveston,Tex., Nov. 17. In the death of Bertrand Adoue, who passed away at 2:20 o'clock this morning, the city of Galveston has lost a man who ranked in the long roll of those who combined the works of business man and philanthropist. Galveston has been fortunate in possession of many citizens whose ideals of civic development were in part realized by the growth of recent years. Among; them Mr. Adoue was at once a worker and an optimist. Believing in the destiny of Texas, and the destiny of Galveston as well, he made his home in the Oleander City. And from his headquarters In Galveston there radiated a keen, co-operative energy that has been felt in business development throughout the whole Southwest. The manner in which Mr. Adoue, had identified himself with many Galveston interests was well shown during the day, Friday, when from business houses all over the city, from the Galveston Cotton Exchange to the outer edge of the business district, flags were flying at half mast, and in many cases crepe was draped on the doors. The office of the firm of Adoue & Lobit was closed out of respect to the dead man whose life for the past forty years had been spent in developing the stand by which the firm was recognized not alone in America but in Europe as well. Health Had Been Feared Expressions or regret about the city were un-real. Although it was generally understood that Mr. Adoue was in poor health. his constant application to work, and his appearance in business offices and on the streets led all to believe that his condition was far from serious. The only member of Mr.Adoue a family who was with him when the end came was his only son, Louis Adoue. Mrs. Adoue and Miss Mimi Adoue were at Fort Worth, Tex., and Mr. Adoue's other daughter, Mrs. Franklin MacFarland, was at her home in Toronto, Canada. Two brothers also survive Mr. Adoue, I. B. Adoue of Dallas, and M. Adoue of Calvert. The family is expected to arrive in Galveston Saturday morning. Some of Mr. Adoue's business activities are indicated by offices he held. His interests were widespread, being a member of the banking firm of Adoue & Lobit and a director of the firm of A.H. Belo & Co., publishers of the Galveston - Dallas News, since January 1891. Mr. Adoue was also president of the Galveston Dry Goods Company, president of the Galveston Brewing Company, vice president of the Lasker Real Estate Company, vice president of the Galveston Hotel Company, owners of Hotel Galvez; treasure of the Surf Bathing Company, president of the Osterman widows' and orphans' home fund, interested in the firm of Mistrot. Munn & Co., and an active participant in many other industries throughout the Southwest. Mr. Adoue was also prominent in the, Societe Francais Bienfaisance of Galveston, holding the office of president for thirty-seven years. He held official positions of Consul for France. Norway and Sweden at the port of Galveston, having acted in the capacity of Swedish Consul for over thirty years.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been made, pending the arrival of his sister, Mrs. J. W. Orowdus of El Paso, who is en route to Galveston from Washington. Mr. Adoue had been prominently connected with commercial and social affairs in Galveston and vicinity since his youth. He was for years a member of the firm of Mistrot & Adoue. He also was vice president of the American Indemnity Company and B. S.

Mr. Adoue carried out the wishes and plans of his father, in his business dealings he commanded the respect and confidence of his associates and was counted as friend by all with whom he came in contact. Besides his wife, who is a sister of Mayor I. H. Kempner, two sisters survive: Mrs. J. W.

Dallas. Texas. Oct. 3. To the Galveston Liberty Loan Committee: In the death of your chairman, Louis Adoue. Texas has lost one of its most patriotic citizens and Galveston one of its best, truest and noblest men. Louis Adoue was loyal to the core. He never waited to be asked to respond to his country's call, but was ever ready with his wealth and energies to aid in every worthy cause. His services in the first and third Liberty loan campaigns were more than worthy of mention and his death will be keenly felt in the present campaign. To me personally news of Louis Adoue's Heath was a severe shock.

It was there-after chanced to a joint stock association known as the Magnolia Petroleum Company and last year was merged into and became a part of the Standard Oil Company of New York. Mr. Sealy was director in a large number of business enterprises in Galveston and throughout the State of Texas and probably ranked as one of the leading business men of the South. Aside from being the senior member of Hutchings. Sealy & Co. and president of the Galveston Wharf Company, he was chairman of the board of the International Creosotins and Construction Company, vice president of Galveston Ice and Cold Storage Company.

He was a member of the relief committee in Galveston after the storm of 1900. He was one of the wealthiest and sometimes was said to be the wealthiest man in Texas. Mr. Sealy was very much interested in the promotion of a bill passed by the Legislature of Texas in 1925 amending the inheritance tax law so as to exempt bequests to Texas educational institutions. He told friends at the time that as the law stood there was not much incentives for a man of means to make a bequest to such institutions, but there would be if the law was changed. Considerable significance was attached to this statement by these friends. His philanthropies can not be enumerated with any definiteness, but his greatest interest was in the John Sealy Hospital. To this institution he devoted his time, his interest and his unlimited financial support. The poor, the sick and the unfortunate of Galveston were at all times the recipients of his sympathy and his assistance. To the John Sealy Hospital, which was founded by his father by a bequest of $75,000, prior to 1914 the heirs of the elder John Sealy contributed various sums aggregating now has $150,000 for the repair and improvement of the institution.

His wife is a native of that county, also, and a daughter of the late Dr. Blunt, who distinguished himself during the famous Nat Turner insurrection. Dr. Peete was the City Physician and Quarantine Officer of Galveston. He resided for some time in Portsmouth, where, as well as in Norfolk, he was well known. He went out to Texas some years ago, settled in Galveston, and rose to that eminent position his talents and experience would naturally command. He was sixty-three years of age, a gentleman of fine personal appearance, graceful and elegant in manners, and of high integrity. His sad death will be widely regretted in Virginia.The Medical and Surgical Reporter, Philadelphia , Oct 9, 1875. D. G. Brinton, M.D., Editor.

Since his residence here, he has filled several important official positions, all of which he filled with credit. He was a peaceable citizen, an honest man, a kind and affectionate husband and father. The last years of his life were years of affliction and disease, which he bore with remarkable patience. He quietly passed away to that land whence no traveler returns. His spirit has gone to God, who gave it.

W. A. Guyton
Fail To Establish Identify Of Driver
Working On Theory That Car Which Ran Down W. A. Guyton Was From Houston
The identity of the driver of the touring car which ran down and fatally Injured W. A. Guyton Tuesday night has not yet been established.
Sheriff Henry Thomas and Dave Henry, chief of detectives, are convinced that the car and party was from Houston, here to attend Mardt Gras. By a process of elimination, they hope to sift the number of parties known to have been here from Houston, and who came by auto, down to those who are responsible for Mr. Guyton's death.
Sheriff Henry Thomas is working on information given by Charlie Milam, driver of the automobile which brought Mr. Guyton to the hospital. According to Milam's story he was coming east, and just before reaching the point of the accident met and passed a Studebaker 6, driven by a woman. The car was also occupied by several other people, Milam said.
When asked if the clew upon which he was working coincided with the view of Sheriff Thomas. Detective Chief Dave Henry said he did not believe that this car was the one which ran over Mr. Guyton. "I obtained this Information early yesterday morning:," Mr. Henry said, "but I am continuing an investigation through the Houston police bureau and am quite confident I will have the guilty party in custody before tomorrow night. Further than this, he declined to state to what end he was pursuing his endeavor.
Though outside the city limits, the police department began work on the case immediately when the report reached headquarters. Detective Chief Henry had, in addition to himself, two men on the case yesterday.
The Houston police were notified of the accident and the two departments are working together in an effort to establish the identity of the car and occupants
Charles J. Allen, secretary of the Galveston County Automobile Club, was in Houston yesterday in investigating the matter. In an endeavor to place the responsibility upon the guilty parties. The club has been making an organized fight to suppress speeding for several months and was instrumental In having the new city ordinance pass the city commission.
