| 2913 | As the white flowers on his yellowwood trees faded, Daniel W. Gade, 78, of Burlington, died in the Vermont Respite House on June 15, 2015. He was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y., on Sept. 28, 1936, to Hugo W. and Evelyn J. Gade. Dan graduated from high school in La Porte, Ind., in 1954. He received his B.A. degree from Valparaiso University (Indiana) in 1959, an M.A. from the Univeristy of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1960, and an M.S., followed by a Ph.D., from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1967. Daniel Gade arrived at the University of Vermont in 1966 as one of the group of four dedicated young geographers who established geography as an academic subject at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He taught primarily courses in cultural geography, cultural ecology (with the anthropology department), and geography of Latin America. For more than a decade, he also taught an elective course, always heavily subscribed, on the geography of wine. He supervised theses and for a decade was chairman of the Latin American studies program. In 1980/81, he served as the overseas director of the Vermont Overseas Study Program at the Universite de Nice. Dan was an enthusiastic field geographer energized by distant lands and cultures. He undertook research projects in Latin America, France, Italy, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Spain, Portugal and Quebec. In 1963-1964, the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council underwrote his early research work in southern Peru. Other support came from the Social Science Research Council for further work in Peru in 1970, and from the National Geographic Society, in 1977, for a project in the western Amazon. He received a Fulbright Research Award for Madagascar in 1983; a research grant in 1989/90 from the Comite Conjunto of the Government of Spain to do research in the Archivo General de Indias in Seville; and another Fulbright Award to Brazil and Argentina in 1993. In 2000, he was a residential fellow at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France. For years, he was the U.S. correspondent for the Bibliographie Geographique Internationale and an editor of the "Handbook of Latin American Studies" prepared at the Library of Congress in Washington. In 1998-99, the UVM Graduate College designated him a University Scholar in the Social Sciences and Humanities. In 1999, he became Professor Emeritus, but continued to write, travel and attend meetings in the U.S. and abroad. Prof. Gade authored five books and close to 150 polished articles and chapters in a wide variety of scholarly journals in five languages. His work manifested an unwavering love of fieldwork and an unusually diverse intellectual curiosity about the world. Among his topics were the verticality of Peruvian Indian agriculture, the concept of nature and culture, cultural history of coca leaf, manioc ecology, lightning and religion, Madagascar's deforestation problem, the shaman as an archetype, appellation controlee of a French wine, ethnobotany and Nazi ideology, hyena predation in Ethiopia, synanthropy of the American crow and a personal reflection on his experience in ethnobiology. The larger theme underlying much of his work was how people, biota and the environment mesh in a cultural-historical framework. He also prepared more than 50 book reviews. As a leading specialist on the Central Andes, he refereed many research proposals connected to that part of the world. In geographical circles Prof. Gade was recognized as a leading proponent of the so-called Berkeley school of geographical thought. In Portugal in July 2014, he presented a paper on the intellectual curiosity of Vermonter George Perkins Marsh. In 1993, he received an achievement award from the Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers. In 2011, the Association of American Geographers conferred on him the Robert Netting Award in recognition of distinguished research and professional activities that bridge geography and anthropology. Daniel Gade is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Mary Scott Killgore Gade of Burlington; as well as his son, Christopher Pierre Gade, and granddaughter, Skyler Scott Gade, both of Williston. He is also survived by two siblings, Elaine Birtch of Springfield, Ill., and Barbara Thompson of North Richland Hills, Texas; six nephews and one niece. A celebration of Dan's life will be held at a later date. Lucid toward the end, Dan's wish was that some of his ashes be buried on Camel's Hump and the rest on an Inca terrace in the Urubamba Valley of Peru. Six weeks before his death, he submitted a long manuscript titled, "Spell of the Urubamba" to publishers in New York, consisting of a series of essays that combine geography, history and anthropology. | GADE, Dr Daniel Wayne (I52478)

| 2924 | Attica NY News - 11/17/1961 On Thursday, November 16, 19 61, Harriet Shornstein, aged 89 left us. For fifty three years she live in this little village, known and loved by everyone. In so many ways her influence was felt by her fellow townsmen. We admired her taste in the hats she purchased for her hat store, and few Castile women ever bou- ght elsewhere We envied her skilll in growing fowers and thankfully received her counsel about their care. Her secret? Once she said, when press ed for the reason of unfailing success. "I always do everything as well as I can, eve to the weed ing of a flower bed." We recognized her business ab- iiity in managing and remodeling her umerou apartment houses. She was the first to start making old houses into apartments and it was predicted that she would fail but she didn't and continued to manage them up to the time of her death. Time and again she refused to to give in to sickness and ill heal- th. And in spite of many offers of help from a devoted son and many friends, she tried to, and did shoulder her burdens alone. Her gallant soul and indomit- able spirit rode triumplant over all obstacles. Yes, she will be missed, for we have thru the years gained in- spiration and curage thru her example. May her soul rest in peace. | BOYER, Harriet E (I127072)

| 2944 | Auburn NY Citizen - 11/23/1914 Circumstances surrounding the tragic death Saturday eveiiiug of Frederick VandenBosch, the 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John H.Vanden Bosch of No. 65 Lake Avenue at the Vanden Bosch home, leave no ¦oom for mystery in the mind of Coroner A. J. Forman who, after an inveetigation into the facts yesterday, was satisfied that the boy met his death in an accidental manner and that by the explosion of his own shotgu, probably by falling or go- ing off accidentally in the hands of the young man. Death was almost instantaneous. The death of young VandenBosch was the first of what was destined to an over-Sunday chapter of tragic and violent deaths in which three young Auburnians lost their lives in a shocking manner through their love of hunting. The accident that caused the death of Vanden Bosch which occurred at about 6 o'clock . Saturday evening, was unseen by anyone, but the circumstances surrounding it point plainly, so the coroner and members of the family believe, to the accidental explosion of the gun in the base-, ment of the Vanden Bosch home,' where Ralph Theurer, a friend and chum of the victim, found him probably within two minutes after the death charge had entered the youth's chest. Boy Wouldn't Go Hunting. Early in ttte day Theurer who-resides with his parents at No. 67 Lake Avenue, went to the VandenBosch home with his gun and proposed that he and Vanden Bosch take advantage of the tracking snow to go afield in search of rabbits. ^ Fred was suffering from a severe ^ cold and declined to go, saying that he feared that a trip into the open through the snow would make his cold worse. He was the owner of a rabbit hound and this he loaned to his friend who started out alone with the dog. Frederick remained about the house most ot the day and after the evening meal he arose from the ta- ble, leaving his father and mother there and went to the basement and to the boiler room where he kept the gun. iJust what young"Vanden Boseh intended to do with the gun, is, of course, unknown. He might have intended to take out the shells as the gun was evidently loaded. It was a double-barrel piece and there was an uneploded shell in the other barrel when the gun was pieked up from the floor where it was found. Discovered by Chum. Fred had not been in the basement long When the father up stairs heard youug Theurer calling to him in an excited tone of twice. This was the first that the parents knew of the accident as they had failed to hear the report of the gun when it shot. Theurer, who made the ghastly discovery, had Just returned from hunting and walked around to the back of the house to return the dog. Fred had lighted the light in the basement and Theurer, seeing this, went to the basement door. He stepped inside and saw the gun lying on the floor. Another step or two and just over the threshold of the door that led to an adjoining room used 'as a laundry, he saw the prostrate form of his chum. From a huge, ragged hole in his left chest he saw a stream of blood soaking through the clothing and forming a puddle on the cement floor. He paused but for a moment and then stepped to the side of the victim who was gasping heavily. Theurer thinks that he arrived juat in time to see the life pass from the body of his young friend. Both Parents Answered. Stunned by the eight that confronted him, Theurer drew back in horror hardly knowing which way to turn, then it occurred to him to call to the mother. Once he called to Mrs. Vanden Bosch and then he began to regain control of himself and the thought came that the father was the one to face the ordeal first and he called up the stairway to him; called two or three times, and then father and mother both came. It was too late for Theurer to tell the mother to turn back and. the parents came to the bottom of the stairs where Theurer could but point to the form on the floor. The father was first but he could not shut out the sight from the mother. She saw too, nd they both knew instinctively that something terrible haad happened. The gun lying near their feet on the baasement floor,, the pungent odor of burned powder in the close furnace room, all told them of it before they reached the body of the boy. Mother Collapsed. Mrs. Vanden Bosch collapsed and was sedated upstairs, a hurry up call for dr. Raymond c. Almy was sent and he hurried to the home, but the boy was beyond medical assist- ance, the physician expressing the belief that death had come within a minute or two after the gun had ex- ploded and the charge had entered the breast of the lad. the physician then turned his at- tention to the mother whose condi- tion was serious. She has been prostrated by the shock since the acci- dent occurred but her condition is reported to be improved today. Wilhelmina, a sister of the boy, was not at home, but was located later at the Morgan Theatre. The ushers at the theatre were unable to locate her In the crowd and the management flashed a message on the screen for her, stating that there was an important mes sage for her at the box office and in this way she was informed that she was wanted quickly at home. After the fatal shot had entered the boy's body he must have walked j or stumbled a distance of six or seven feet to the floor of the room adjoining the boiler room. The gun was found on the floor of the boil"-; room while the body of the boy lay j across the threshold some feet away. The theory that the gun fell is borne out by the fact there was e piece of the stock slivered off. If it fell it must have struck hurt down and the stock split with the grain o* the wood. This jar probably exploded it. Whether it was done in falling or whether the boy. holding the barrels well toward the muzzle jammed the butt down hard on the floor is not known, of course. It mar be that the lever that opens the gun stuck and he jammed the butt down, thinking to loosen it. His Survivors. Besides his parents young Vanden Bosch is survived by two sisters Mrs. Robert Broadhead and Miss Wilhelmina Vanden Bosch, and one i brother, John »Ht Vanden Bosch Sr. Private funeral services will be held at the family home tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. Burial will be made in Soule Cemetery. | VANDENBOSCH, Frederick (I85287)
