There is this memorial, the one linked above, and the one named in his obituary, below. PROF. W. IRVING COLBY The many friends of Prof. W. Irving Colby will be shocked to learn of his sudden death at the Flower Hospital, Manhattan, on June 5. Prof. Colby had been visiting in Providence, and while there did not enjoy the best of health. Desiring to consult a specialist he came to New York accompanied by his son-in-law. Before reaching the city, Prof. Colby's condition became so serious that on arriving at the Grand Central Station, an ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the hospital where he died a few hours later. The immediate cause of his death was acute indigestion. Prof. Colby was well known in nearly all the large cities of this country as an instructor in the German language, which he began teaching in 1883. He was especially well known in Brooklyn, where he had during the past twelve years taught many classes, his pupils numbering over two thousand. He was author of several German textbooks, among which were "Der Lehrer" and "Der Leitstern." Prof. Colby was a member of Kismet Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, Brooklyn, and of Central City Commandery, No. 25, K. T. of Syracuse. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. F. D. Beagle, of Albany, and Mrs. Walter F. Kingsley, of Providence, R.I., and by three grandchildren. The interment took place at Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse, on June 8. W. Irving Colby was a man of lovable nature, noble impulses and high aims, from boyhood he could be thoroughly depended upon. He lived for his friends and his family. He had a kind word for every one and few men were as free from selfishness as was he. Always thoughtful of others, he delighted in doing kind deeds, and his life was one delightful service. He had hosts of loyal friends who will never cease to mourn the sudden departure of the strong, gracious, noble spirit that lived and breathed in Will Irving Colby.
