    TIMOTHY BISHOP, son of Daniel and Louisa (Hotchkiss) Bishop, was born in New Haven, Conn., Oct. 29th, 1777.

    Upon leaving college he engaged in business in this city, and after a long life of business activity, during which he held in a high degree the esteem of his fellow-citizens, lived in his native city in retirement until his death, March 6th, 1873, at the age of 95 years and 4 months. Since October, 1870, he had been the oldest surviving graduate of the college, and for some five years the only survivor of his class.

    He married, April 3d, 1800, Louisa, daughter of William Walter, of New Haven, who died about a month after her marriage.

    His second wife, Esther Huggins, of New Haven, died in Feb., 1845, and

    his third wife, Mrs. Elizabeth (Beers) Huggins, in 1854.

    Of his children, only one son, by his second marriage (Y.C. 1826), survives him.
