Waterbury was born at New Canaan, Conn., February 26, 1863, and died at Spokane, Wash., Thursday morning, October 28, 1909, aged 46 years, 8 months and 2 days. When a boy, in. May, 1867, he came with, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Waterbury, Sr., to Union county, S. D., where he grew to manhood on a, farm. February 2,. 1885, he was united in marriage with Susan Barr, who survives him. To this happy union was born three children, Ella J. (Mrs. Hollis), Virgie May (Mrs. Schultze) and Fred E., all of Spokane. For several years after their marriage they lived on a farm near Akron. After retiring from farming they moved to Sioux City, where he held a position on the police force for some time. Later they returned to Akron and, resided here until 1900. when they removed to Armour, S. D., and later to Miller, S. D., at which places Mr. Waterbury engaged in the real estate business. He also took up the study of law and was admitted to practice in that state. This he accomplished without attending law school and shows his unusually retentive memory and also the fixed purpose with which he carried out his undertakings. His desire to make a home in the west took him and his family to Spokane, Washington, in July, 1905. He held the position of conductor on the Spokane street railway lines for about two years, after which he became a member of the city police force there. It was while in the faithful performance of his duties as an officer that he was shot by a suspected criminal, thus giving his life toward the safety and peace of the public. He was one of those men who scarcely knew the meaning of personal fear, yet he rarely failed to exercise coolness and good judgment in the same connection. In the fatal encounter there arose sudden complications from which few men could have escaped unscathed, and he held his nerve to the very last. The man responsible for his death had not, at last report, been apprehended, though a number of suspects were being held for examination. That he had won a high place la the esteem of the people of Spokane was demonstrated by the honors bestowed after his death by the street railway company, the police department and the Masonic and Elks lodges to which he belonged. He was one of eight sons born to Mr. and Mrs. Waterbury. His father and his brother, H. L., preceded him to the beyond. The funeral services conducted here last Thursday afternoon in the Baptist church by Rev. J. L. Ayrault, under Masonic auspices, was one of the most largely attended in this city's history, attesting the friendship and respect held for him by his old home community. Mrs. Waterbury. who accompanied her husband's remains here, will not return to Spokane until about the; first of the year.
